Google Loves Wesley Clark
At least that's my read on this page: http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

This isn't a plug; frankly, I'm very suspicious of Clark.

Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 02:08 AM by foktarded
"wesley clark" being a common thing that people search for on google makes you suspicious but the mass media obsessing about dean doesn't? okaydokayokay! then again you may be sarcastic, it can be hard to tell

5. My suspicions have nothing to do with Google.
I was studying a 9/11 Timeline and was struck by some of the comments Clark made; he sounded just like I would expect a member of Bush's regime to sound. Also, I haven't researched him in detail, but it sounds like he wasn't as anti-war as he'd like us to belive. I saw him on David Letterman when he tried to dance around a question of that nature.

He just struck me as more of a politician than someone who really cares - at best.

7. Can you post what you have
so we can sort it out. I wonder about the sources. There is so much info out there about him and the war.

9. Wow, I'm stuck!
Believe it or not, I don't have the URL handy, even though I was using the site to make a children's 9/11 Timeline! I'm just so swamped in projects, I can't find it at the moment.

I first learned of this site on this forum a couple weeks ago. I think the website's name includes the word "Cooperative," and it includes a variety of timelines, focusing on 9/11, the Iraq War, etc.

If you really want to find, you might post a message on this forum. Otherwise contact me, and I'll try to track it down tomorrow.

But you might also find some stuff through Google - typing in "September 11" + "Wesley Clark" for example.

One quote that sticks in my mind: I think the timeline mentioned Clark saying something like, "This is the work of Osama bin Laden" on September 11. Even if he was the most obvious suspect, I thought it was awfully quick to be making those kinds of statements. Remember how the White House was so eager to pin the terrorist attacks on Osama bin Laden?

Considering how much they don't like him, you're not in such good company.

6. Yes - another conspiracy theory.
I pulled this from another forum, where they were asking why it hasn't been updated. They speculated it had something to do with Microsoft hush money. (The question about Clark is all mine.)

10. Can't you read?
It has been updated. The date is 12/1 and the next weekly update willbe tomorrow. As for Clark at #3 being ahead of Dean at #6 in "News" in Sept, you want to build a whole paranoid delusion on that?

Really?

11. Can't you THINK?
The page features information for a week in December and the month of SEPTEMBER. Some people were kind of hoping to find something for a couple insignificant months that fall between September and December.

And your comment about "paranoid delusion" is similarly clueless. Where did I suggest Clark's name on this page was evidence of a conspiracy? I simply pointed out that he seemed to be really popular in Google, THEN I pointed out that I don't trust Clark.

Use some common sense.

17. Huh?
So Clark shows up as being the focus of more searches than Dean in September.

That indicates "goodle loves wesley clark"?

When did his campaign kick off, dude?

Nobody loves Wesley Clark but us Clark folk.

But that's okay.

We forgive you ;^)
