Video: Crazed by Rush, Wes Clark calls for political discourse to be rated
Hot Air ^ | October 3, 2007

Posted on 10/03/2007 6:46:30 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

He doesn’t say who’ll be doing the rating but he digs the idea of Congress yanking Rush Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Radio so presumably they’d be okay to head that up, too. The point he’s ostensibly trying to make is a simple one — that the U.S. government shouldn’t be broadcasting anything that harms its own military’s morale — but a standard that narrow wouldn’t let you regulate very much speech. So he broadens it with a magnificently Orwellian invocation of “propriety” that has no discernible definition except his own arbitrary judgment about what does and doesn’t “cross the line.” Just laying a little groundwork for the Fairness Doctrine, planting a few seeds which he hopes will flower a few years from now.

Is Weasley Clark auditioning to be Veep again? He must be desperate for attention.

He could very well be auditioning to be Hitlery’s VP. She would no doubt support such a thing.

Making Clarke a General officer did more to damage military morale than anything else in my memory.

Fact is, Clark got taken out of the Bosnia campaign because our allies (NATO) didn’t trust him.

Are they going to take C-SPAN off the air?

“that the U.S. government shouldn’t be broadcasting anything that harms its own military’s morale”

Then it shouldn’t be broadcasting anything said by the Democrats, the liberals, or the political Left in general.

When I picture this guy, I see him in one of those shake-up souvenir deals where you hold the thing in your hand, shake, and snowflakes come down for 45 seconds around....something. And then you get bored with it. He’s really such an utter nothing.

Will these people ever stop attacking conservatives? We’re entitled to our opinions, and to free speech. Wesley Clark doesn’t have anything particularly interesting to say.

Tucker was sputtering like Donald Duck in that video. Why did he let Clark drone on? Ask a simple question and make the creep answer it. If he tries to run out the time, shut off his mike and repeat your question, in full, and then give him another chance to answer.

Moreover, censorship is when government shuts down speech, and that’s exactly what Clark was advocating. Tucker should have clarified instead of letting Clark obfuscate.

Clark on the ticket would scare both NATO and the Russians. A singular achievement.

It’s disgraceful that Weasely Clark is willing to fall on his sword for an old hippie like Slick Willie’s wife. He’s a disgrace but I’ll bet he has a prime spot already picked out for himself in Hillary’s testicle lockbox.
