Rush going after Clark

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_092303/content/quotes.guest.html

"In 1994, General Clark was in charge of U.S. military operations when UN peacekeepers were prevented from intervening in the slaughter of nearly one million Rwandans - and now he poses as a man concerned about civil rights and bigotry?"


so who was in charge of Clark when he was in charge of the operations?

who gave the order for him not to intervene?

was that Clark was one of the few people lobbying for intervention in rwanda. I mean, this is classic rush "black-is-white" propaganda

Grr, this pisses me off. Clark was a HUGE proponent of intervening to stop the Rwanda massacre.

Don't know the answer to your question, Dave, but my guess is that it came from Clinton or thereabouts.

DTH

This will show us if all the lies, distortion and smears the republicans will absolutely barrage Clark with...if he can handle them.

We will see if Clark knows how to get in mud with these republican assholes and play hardball and still be able to set the record straight.

If some little thing, like the pigman Limbaugh throwing out his usual garbage for the other radio talking heads and the corporate media to pick up on...is enough to shake up Clark, then he’s not worth supporting and will never get anywhere anyway.

I don’t think that’s the case though…I think Clark knew this shit was coming (how could he not) and he’ll be ready for all the republican and media's bullshit lies…the only question is, (as it is for all democrats) will the right-wing corporate media allow Clark to get the real truth out and set the record straight?

he said that "not intervening in Rwanda was the most regrettable decision of his presidency." <yeah, he admits his mistakes and takes responsibility unlike *>

BTW, as I have mentioned many times here - What an orator! He is so intelligent, and speaks so clearly - it was like being at the best college lecture of your life.

(He appeared at the Univ of Florida...10,000 people, mostly students...standing O...and he looked great)

Here's an article on his trip to Rwanda and his comments on the atrocities that occurred there.

"Limbaugh is full of shit." -- Wesley Clark

for Limbaugh:

Ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

:bounce:

Limbaugh, you fucking, sniveling, chickenhawk LIAR!

I'm off to search for a link, but I've read in more than one place that Clark pushed hard to intervene in Rwanda, and was overruled by his superiors at the Pentagon.

Oh, I want that fat fuck called on the carpet for that one.....how DARE that racist scumbag try to appropriate those tragic deaths in the intersts of a fabricated smear against a democratic candidate.

Analyzes why America is hesitant to use force to stop genocide.

The only one she praises for lobbying hard to intervene in Rwanda - General Wesley Clark.

And she also said this about Kosovo:

"The man who contributed more than any single individual to Milosevic's battlefield defeat was Gen. Wesley Clark. The NATO bombing campaign succeeded in removing brutal Serb police units from Kosovo, in ensuring the return of 1.3 million Kosovo Albanians, and in securing the Albanians right to self-governance. Yet in Washington Clark was a pariah. In July 1999 he was curtly informed that he would be replaced as supreme allied commander for Europe. This forced his retirement and ended thirty-four years of distinguished military service. Favoring humanitarian intervention had never been a great career move."

(best book of 2002!!!!!)

That sniveling little asshole "Francis" in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

The brass above him flinched.

The smear campaign continues...

a canadian rock band have to do with Dick Clark.

Oh, not that Rush
and not that Clark.

Nevermind

Cheers

Since he's declared. The RW is terrified of Clark.

DTH

right wing websites and periodicals again like I used to do in the 90's. I figure that the fact that he is a military guy AND not on the dark side with them just urks them to no end!

The more Rush spews venom on someone, the more I like them.

I'd say great minds think alike but I know I don't qualify :)

Rush didn't want us in there.

From Limpballs himself:

"He selected Kosovorather than Ethiopia or Rwanda or any other place to intervene because he knew he could gain the support of NATO. He knew that air power wouldn't stop Milosevic but would instead accelerate the removal of the Kosovars."

and I can tell that this is bullshit. Being head of the troops and getting to decide where they go are two different things.

blocked sending peacekeepers if I recall. The disaster in Mogadishu weighed heavily in their decision not to intervene.

Isn't that what Defense Dept. does? I think that is why there are so many departments is so the President doesn't have to be involved in each and every decision. Granted the Buck stops at the President's office and that is exactly why there is no stopping of any bucks in this administration. There is NO President. Only a figurehead that was appointed.

to make a decision - we needed bi-partisan support - at which point 800000 were dead - so no decision needed.

It was the fastest most massive killing that I can remember.

He and his ilk are a little confused about civilian control of the armed forces. A Freudian slip?

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I'm saving that for a T-shirt. Damn. Thanks for making my day. :bounce:

Yes, they're mortally afraid that Clark can usurp Bush. But they're also popping Valiums because he will be a highly effective advocate against their penchant for launching ill-founded wars. People will listen to him, much more than they will to any other candidate.

Slowly, the Repugs are being stripped of their weapons. And they don't like it one bit.

That Clark does a better job of quashing the BS than Gore did.

lashing out because he's worried about his numbers?

Whatever. I'll vote for him if he gets the nomination and I like the fact that he polled ahead of Bush as well. I think he's a swell guy. He's just not my guy.

that '4-F anal cysts' Limbaugh has the stones to accuse Clark of anything.

Then again it is his national duty to spread lies and RW propaganda to dittoheads everywhere.

n/t

Better check the temperature in Hell, must be global freezing going on.

Sorry Mr. Christie- your attacks sound hollow- you are a Draft Dodger and a coward- ZERO credibility you have!!!

first it's clark's insane and he uses dr strangelove as the theme

then some convuluted gone with the wind nickname that few people get and even fewer find funny that supposedly plays off the fact that he's 'hillary's puppet'

than he calls him the stepford candidate and says he stands for nothing-ever heard of arnold, rush?

nothing's working. it's hilarious to listen to how frustrated clark makes rush

and, of course, he can't attack clark fromt the left like some here do, because any charge he would make, dumbya and dick are giulty of 100 times over

of black people who got slaughtered???---isn't that enough for him to throw a party??? Did you expect Rush to not distort?? Do you know all our other candidates are Satanic demons who are of a blood sucking cult that will eat your babies alive in the womb???----if you don't, just wait to see who emerges as our nominee and I'll guarantee you that that is about the speed of what Rush will tell his spell bound, pond scum listeners. And in the back room, Rove is frantically typing.........

"National radio talk show host welcomes General Clark as ditto-head"

:shrug:

The campassionate conservative Rush was, of course, campaigning for the U.S. to come in and stop the killing in Rwanda, no?

Oh, wait. I guess not.
