George Smith - Clarke Expose' (ZOT!!! Minor League Troll Sent Down from Majors)

Posted on 03/31/2004 4:41:25 AM PST by formerRepug

I just got done reading the Village Voice piece on Clarke by George Smith. Smith, a faithful democrat, is being widely quoted as a Clarke detractor by those made uncomfortable by Clarke's book and testimony.

The thing is, the criticism Smith made of Clarke was done over a year ago and was on the subject of cyberterrorism -- not the sort of terrorism that brought down the world trade buildings.

Smith is a pundit on cybersecurity. His thoughts on Clarke are taken out of context in time and subject by those desperately seeking some means to rescue the Bush campaign's "Ah'm a war president" stance.

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0413/smith.php

A more balanced appraisal of Clarke that incorporates recent events yet takes into account his obsessions in the cyberworld can be found here.

And afterwards - even with your busy schedule - took time to register at FR today just to post your opinion.

I guess we should feel "honored," but I smell a ZOT coming soon.

Do you suppose our new friend will be doing a monthly or one-time donation at our next FReepathon?

2 ZOTs this morning. Maybe I can get my reply typed and posted before the thread is pulled this time.

You're toast.

Clarke is a do-nothing Clintonite Dem who cares about nothing but his book sales.

You'll note that this particular troll isn't even smart enough to hot-link his URLs.

Your socialist party will have its rump spanked in November.

Better remember to get Daschle's home address so you can stay in touch.

President (ahem) Bush will win by at least 50 electoral college points. For interpretation's sake, that's a loss for Kerry. Keep up the good work.

Let's call red trolls by their real names... communists.

"Social justice"? What's the popular weed of choice these days?
