About the Clark comments regarding McCain's service ...... what a bunch of whistle asses.
General Smackdown was RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

No one, including Clark in those VERY remarks on Face The Nation, is diminishing Captain Combover's service. The substance was that being a fighter pilot, per se, being a peacetime squadron commander, per se, and being held as a POW for five years, per se, does NOT qualify one for the Presidency.

Yet, this morning, Clark's ass is being left out there to swing in the breeze by all the Democratic spokesmodels..

What a bunch of fucking whistle asses.

2. Captain Combover!
I love that! Nope, never heard it. Thank you.

Clark pointed out the obvious - CC fucked up, crashed yet another jet, got captured and held prisoner. That's what happens when you invade a country with whom you have no beef. We were the enemy and the Viet Cong did what they had to do. It was, as we've since learned, their country. We were the invaders.

So, screwing up and getting caught makes you a hero? I don't think so, and I've been preaching that to everyone I know, including military men, all of whom agree with me.

So - I don't watch daytime TV - Clark's on his own for speaking the truth?

I don't want to hate Democrats again. Please don't let this be true.

3. Exactly, Although I Pity The Man For His POW Time
I certainly don't want to follow him in to war. I'd much rather follow Kerry who didn't get captured.

7. That is exactly what my military pals say
They respect him for sticking out his captivity - although I'm not sure he had a choice - but they also plan to vote for Obama.

4. Not only was he right
but the exact line that's being objected to was Clark REPEATING what Schieffer said in his question...

Check the transcript! http://securingamerica.com/node/2993

Bob Schieffer: I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. I mean-

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President.


They weren't Clark's words. They were Schieffer's words, which Clark repeated in his answer.

5. Stating the obvious
The people who can't see that this is exactly what happened - and bless both Schieffer and Clark for bringing it out into the open - are the same citizens who think Fuckface actually piloted the plane that landed on the USS Lincoln.

As John Dean calls these "believers" (the 23% who maintain that Fuckface is doing a good job), they are "immunized from reality."

Thanks for the info.

8. I agree
his five years in the hanoi hilton is enough to disqualify him if nothing else is. It damn sure isn't a strong point of his. fuck the bunch of the talking head treasonous bastages both male and female.

9. I hate the POS Republicans, but I respect them for at least sticking together and
supporting each other, even when they're wrong. The chicken-shit democrats couldn't back each other up if their lives depended on it.

12. Lotta people around here deride that as "lockstep"
Which makes it okay for them to endlessly tell us how bad our side REALLY is ..... in their view ..... which, to them, is the only view that matters.

I'm on your side.

10. I respect McLame's service BUT
Getting shot down does not qualify one for the Presidency.
