Clarks proposing Moore as a leader is purely a numbers game.

People rally around a leader, and if Moore's their leader, you need a hell of a lot more people to go all the way around that fat ass. Ergo, many more Clark supporters.

why was Clark fired........ by Shelton?

I wish I knew all the details. I don't. There is a part of this story that no one is talking about---least of all Clark.

Wes Clark responded to the Moore endorsement, saying: "Michael Moore is an enormous talent and an inspirational figure for millions of Americans. I am delighted to have his support, and I am honored by the eloquence and passion of his endorsement letter."

He (Clark)will cut the Pentagon budget, use the money thus saved for education and health care, and he will STILL make us safer than we are now.

Clark should have added "But I must again warn you people with feces eating dogs to please keep them away from Mr. Moore."

And here we see Clark joking and trading military caps with the mass murdering Milosevic.

Any idea what Clark's rank was before fellow Arkansas-Rhodes Schol. Clinton promoted him up the chain?

I'm guessing no more than 1 star.

Ann has this right..!! (highlites mine)

 
Clark's forces bombed a civilian convoy by mistake, killing more than 70 ethnic Albanians, and then Clark openly lied about it to the press. First he denied NATO had done it, and when forced to retract that, Clark pinned the blame on an innocent U.S. pilot. As New York Newsday reported on April 18, 1999: "American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the staff of Army Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO commander, pointed to an innocent F-16 Falcon pilot who was castigated by the media for blasting a refugee convoy." Eventually, even a model of probity like Bill Clinton was shocked by Clark's mendacity and fired him.

The Sharron Watkins crapola almost completes the picture with Clark. The "Women of Enron" that Time Magazine chose to celebrate - were made up of people who observed the criminality of what was going on - but took their sweet damn time about actually doing anything remotely effective about it because it was hard to give up the exaggerated incomes they were being paid, in part to incent them to participate in the cover up.

Ideologically, Michael Moore is probably more nearly aligned with Ralph Nader (Unsafe at Any Speed, a screed attacking the Chevrolet Corvair), since Moore first came on the scene with his attack on corporate management, in Roger and Me. Both have declared the same enemy, General Motors, and have used similar arguments to charge and convict what they perceive as their mortal foe. And they also make a great deal out of the point that GM is in it "for the money".

This, in the eyes of the ideologue, is the greatest of all sins, that a corporation gets into business "for the money". No matter how many times it is declared over and over, that profits are "evil", no individual, or corporate entity, will stay in business without a positive cash flow.

State-owned enterprises, if not operating as self-sustaining entities, are eventually scrapped, no matter how useful the service or product they provide. Worse than that, there is no room or incentive for innovation or improvement of the goods or services provided, and stagnation will eventually leave the state-owned enterprise as only a hollow bureaucracy, with little real function.

Economics cannot exist by decree, no matter how neat and "efficient" that may seem at first. But there are those who can take advantage in temporary disparities between demand levels and the ability of the market to respond, and use these inequities as reason to legislate a level of adjudication, that would have no reason to exist if the market were left to make its own adjustment.

Coming back to the point, this paternalistic view of government, which some believe should be used as a tool to make greedy and unconscionable corporations behave in what the elite declare as a civilized manner, eventually decays into a totalitarian state. Regulations pile on regulations, and every one of them had a constituency at one time. But law, like fashion, has a degree of obsolescence based on the complexity to which it is raised. Certain basic fashions, like certain basic codes of law, are timeless, and remain a solid foundation that should never be abandoned.

Yes, Moore is a fat toad, a leftist dunce, a monumental hypocrite, a hate-America-firster, a...need one on? But doesn't it gall you to realize that he has become a multi-millionaire in the capitalist America he hates? Is that testimony to American free enterprise or the ignorance of those who buy his books and see his movies? Or both?

Those who buy his books and if you can call them movies are fools!!!! Yes, it does gall me that Americans are so stupid! There are many American fools, look at all of them in Iowa? Acting like they are something. they ain't sh*t... They are not, just stupid fools going to get caukied in their stupid cauci.

Clark, who has presented himself as a military man who opposed the war in Iraq (news - web sites), was to be endorsed on Sunday by 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern. McGovern, a staunch opponent of the Vietnam war, was to campaign on Sunday with Clark in New Hampshire, Clark aides said.

Hehehe, it looks like a lot people overlooked this.

Why would you campaign with this man unless you want to loose in a fantastic fashion?
