Limbaugh coins “Conspiracy Clark” – WTF????
Conspiracy Clark Becomes 10th Dwarf

Four-star, 50,000-feet high general Wesley Clark will announce he's the tenth Democrat dwarf in an Arkansas press conference tomorrow. The Village Voice's Richard Goldstein authored a story headlined, "The Great Butch Hope - Can Wesley Clark Deliver the Male?" Quote: "If Clark can make America see the difference between macho and masculinity - that is between a defensive response to women and a confident one - he just might earn the ultimate star as commander-in-chief."

…. This guy reminds me of the ex-general, mad scientist-type working to take over the world in every Bob Ludlum novel. Clark is a guy who sees conspiracy theories spelled out in his alphabet soup. Yet they're salivating over Clark on the Democrat side because John Kerry's effort to associate himself with the military has soured. He's talked about it so much that everybody is joking about it.


More (for those who dare)..

Now, those of us here who have questioned the amazing string of suicides/accidents that seem to befall those in authority who question Bush know the use of the ad hominem “Conspiracy Nut”. But why preemptively apply it to Clark? Is it possible that Clark may have the security clearance to know a thing or two about the activities of the last few years? Hmmmm…

7. I think you called it right
Rush has had him and his staff racking their brains for weeks trying to think up bad stuff to say about the guy, and this is all they can come up with? Pathetic.

32. The "French-looking" John Kerry
I heard the bastard yesterday for about 20 minutes (at which point I reached the "FUCKYOU!" point and shot my radio), and every single time he mentioned Kerry, every single time, it was "the French-looking Kerry".

What a pathetic loser. I think the Pukes are really getting scared, and they're just going batshit. They've had their run, but it'll soon be over and I think they know it.

6. We'll see. But if someone did stand down defenses on 9/11...
Clark may be one of the few Democrats to know it was done.

Everytime a Republican attacks Clark, ask them why they hate the U.S. military?

24. Why does Rush hate America?
Rush Limbaug, the America hater attacks the U.S. military.

I hope that people like Rush attacking a decorated soldier of the U.S. military will cause the public to take a second look at hate radio.

Maybe we can beat Bush and hate radio will undermine themselves at the same time.

13. Clark's biggest disadvantage is name recognition
so I believe Rush is only helping him out by
making him "enemy number one".

Perception of Clark as a big contender, will make
him a big contender. He is almost there already,
if not already there.

For Clark, any press is good press because when
people really look at him, he shines.

14. Rush is a big fat idiot
Edited on Tue Sep-16-03 07:22 PM by Lefty48197
Bush fired Clark, because he feared Wesley's growing influence.
I thought Clark's interview with Russert last spring was interesting. Tim asked Clark WHY he had been fired by Bush, and Wesley, (almost sheepishly) responded that he had never really been given an answer.
I think Lush Limbaugh is referring to that incident.

16. Let him ramble

Both he and Hannity (and the rest of the ilk) are becoming more and more marginalized with each passing day. He has been resorting to name calling for the last month or so at least - what else does he have? No one outside the cabal takes him seriously anymore, aside from the flat earth fellowship that tunes in for the full ride each day. They will soon, if they have not done so already, box themselves into the same neo-con corner that holds Perle et al. They have no other choice, as they must shill for * or become extinct.

Nobrainus Limbaughlis - coming soon to a museum near you.

17. Draft dodger Rush didn't have the mettle to be a private
And he has the gall to talk about a four-star general? Good thing for anal cysts, eh, Rush? Sure would hate to see fatass Rush spend one day in the Army.

20. limpballs
Edited on Wed Sep-17-03 07:00 AM by laruemtt
is so jealous he can't stand it. If possible Limpid is even more of a miserable, hateful slob of a being when compared with 4-star rhodes's scholar clark. it's the psychology of an insecure 8th grade bully. my lifetime dem mother is one of those who listens to him daily to "see what the enemy's up to." i can't do it - he literally gags me.

Edited to fix typo "Limpid" to Limpie - the only way he is limpid is in the pure hatred and clear idiocy he embodies.

21. But why "Conspiracy Clark"??? Limbaugh pretty much reads ....
the far right talking points. Why do they want to paint Clark as a conspiracy theorist?? They could have done Pretty Boy (as Kerry) or Egomaniac (as McCain) or any number of slurs. Why Conspiracy Nut?

27. See "John McCain, tactics against" in your GOP handbook
Also listed under "Military credibility, running against someone with"

Answer: Paint him as a screwball, only do it gently. Sober doubts about what his POW experiences have done to him, in McCain's case, or in Clark's, whether he wasn't a hotheaded loose cannon in Kosovo, or as here, some kinda conspiracy nut (because he criticizes Iraq war). "There are those who say he's a little wild, a little unbalanced, but that's for others to say," that's the line for your candidate, while others hand out leaflets at the opponent's campaign appearances. Plenty of money for dirty tricks--cheaper than TV ads and in some ways more effective.

31. damn - you're so right
This would be funny if it wasn't so sad and infuriating! But you're right -- that's exactly the page all the right-wing media whores are on. Time for everyone to put on their armor...

30. Update: Limpballs drops Conspiracy and moves to Ashley Wilkes...
Apparently Limpbrains believes that strong/intelligent/sensitive is a pejorative and so now Clark is being compared to that character from Gone With The Wind. Go figure. I guess the Conspiracy Clark stuff raised more questions than they wanted...

33. No fatty, everybody's joking about Kerry's record cause YOU are.

John Kerry's effort to associate himself with the military has soured. He's talked about it so much that everybody is joking about it.

I wondered why I kept seeing this goddamned joke at freeperville all of a sudden. Every post about Kerry somebody posts 'Did you hear Kerry was in the military?' Rush and Scaife must have decided the best way to deflect the fact that Kerry served while he, Bush, Cheney, and every other right-winger cowered at home is to make fun of the fact that Kerry served.

34. Limbaugh is Tokyo Rose
or should I say "Tokyo Rush". I think that if Clark plays his cards right, that the Lie Machine's attacks on him will backfire in a big way, and (I hope) damage them greatly as a result.
