164. The axis of logic article you link to simply lists
every Clark smear that ever was and decides he's a Bushbot.

Never mind that other reporters on the scene denied Drudge's charge that Clark attacked Kerry over an intern affair. Never mind that Hugh Shelton backed away from his "character and integrity" charge as "just politics" when he was offered the chance to testify about it under oath in the Hague. Never mind that David Hackworth totally reversed himself on Clark and retracted his earlier charges -- they're still in there. Never mind that Clark never said he was "anti-war", only anti-*this*-war -- he's still a hypocrite for Kosovo. Never mind that Clark was never a registered Republican and voted for Clinton and Gore -- he still "switched parties for the present Presidential race". Never mind that Clark was resolutely against the draft -- his civil service program is still a draft "euphamism". Never mind that in the author's own quote on "New American Patriotism" lists "respect domestic dissent even in wartime and embrace international organizations like the United Nations" as number two and three -- it still proves he's in league with "the Hannity/O’Rielly/Limbaugh media brown shirts". Never mind that George McGovern and Michael Moore endorsed him, this was just part of a plan to make him "look progressive". Doubtless that mind-control device he worked on in the Pentagon subverted the judgement of these two and others. Then we discover he supported the war because a list of people he worked with supported the war, even though some people on the same list opposed the war. Then OMG, what would he do with the PATRIOT act, even though he called for an open review of the act and said that every clause neede both public justification and public acceptance, while opposing PATRIOT II. It was still his fault.

There's tons of "information", but I'm afraid it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
