Freeper quote on Clark
This is brilliant, from another overenthused, underintelligent Freeper.

On General Wes Clark's criticism of Rush Limbaugh's racial statements:

"Mr. Clark should shut his fat mouth and crawl back to
where the sun don't shine. He doesn't even rate to stand
in the same space as Rush Limbaugh."

3. Wow - now that's a stretch
Refer them to http://www.scoobiedavis.blogspot.com/
And have them scroll to the Thursday, September 18, 2003 blog...

Education:
Clark: First in his class at the U.S. Military Academy. Holds a Master's Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

Limbaugh: Dropped out of Southwest Missouri State University during his freshmen year.

Courage:
Clark: General Clark is a recipient of numerous U.S. and foreign military awards, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He has received honorary Knighthoods from the British and Dutch governments and was made a commander of the French Legion of Honor. In August 2000, General Clark was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.

Limbaugh: Got out of serving in Nam because of of butt cyst. Limbaugh has repeatedly lied about this.

Experience:
Clark:During his thirty four years of service in the United States Army, he held numerous staff and command positions, rising to the rank of 4-star general and NATO Supreme Allied Commander.

From 1997 through May of 2000, General Clark was NATO Supreme Allied Commander and Commander in Chief of the United States European Command. In this position, General Clark commanded Operation Allied Force, NATO's first major combat action, which saved 1.5 million Albanians from ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

From 1996 to 1997 General Clark served as Commander in Chief of the United States Southern Command, Panama, where he was responsible for the direction of U.S. military activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.

From 1994 to 1996, he served as Director for Strategic Plans and Policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff with responsibilities for worldwide U.S. military strategic planning.

General Clark is also licensed as an investment banker. He joined Stephens Inc. as a consultant in July of 2000 and was named Managing Director, Merchant Banking of Stephens Group, Inc. from March 2001 through February 2003. He is currently the chairman of Wesley K. Clark & Associates, a strategic advisory and consulting firm.

Limbaugh: Got into radio because his wealthy father owned the station. Fired from numerous radio jobs until catching fire with talk radio. Despite coming from a wealthy background, Limbaugh depended on government largesse, namely unemployment benefits, instead of relying on his family.

Family Life:
Clark: Has been married to the same woman since 1967.

Limbaugh: Twice divorced. Third wife was an aerobics instructor whom Limbaugh married when he weighed over 300 pounds--not that I'm accusing Limbaugh's current wife Marta of being a gold digger and trophy wife or anything.

4. Now I could be wrong but...
...I have never noticed us people on the left to worship our favorite pundits. You know, I never hear, "Gee O'Reilly isn't worthy to breathe the same air as Franken", or "Carville's sh*t don't stink". How come the right has to have these heroes who are treated as gods because they can run a one-sided propoganda show with few opposing viewpoints? Ever notice half the callers to a Michael Savage or Limbaugh show have to ramble on and on about how much they love said host? I also notice that many right-wingers refer to their favorite columnists and will ask you to debunk one of their points. These people seem helpless without their talking points.
