Why did Media throw Clark under the bus?
Edited on Mon Jun-30-08 07:30 PM by itsrobert
As a career military vet, I know the difference between being shot down and held captive and actually being in an executive leadership position. What did Clark say that was wrong?

I am so f'ing mad at the media right now.


changed it. I have been spun by the worthless media.

4. Obama said nothing about General Clark today...
he did, however, say he would NOT question McCain's patriotism or his service. Seeing as Clark did NOT question either of those, regardless of the medias' lies, there was no difference in what either of them said.

7. Clark spoke truthfully. And, in part, reiterated what McCain himself used to say. nt

8. They attempted to throw Clark "under the bus" but failed. Instead,
they fell under the bus.

10. They are trying to play the democrats like a cheap violin
and it is working.. Clark was asked a question..he said nothing bad about McCain, acknowledged his service...talked about how he was a role model for him and other vets..but he did not have any more executive experience than Obama


Obama who is being attacked on his patriotism said that no one in his campaign should question someones patriotism .. he would not.. and that was a set up for the next statement.. he would NOT tolerate anyone attacking his patriotism.. a shot over the bow of the right wing nut jobs

So where does this leave us.. Clark did not question McCains patriotism.. Obama did not throw Clark under the bus..

And I am not getting all where all this juice is coming from.. the OH MY GOD.. he said this,, he did this..

They are just setting us up to watch us flop around like fish on the bank ..


Just saying
