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.

NO, he’s part of the toons’ hit team. They certainly are gearing up. They use and abuse everyone....when they’ve used a person up...they end up in a park with a bullet in their head. That old retired perfume general had better watch his back.

Are they going to take CNN off the air?

“Tucker was sputtering like Donald Duck in that video.”

He was probably so shocked at what he was hearing, he couldn’t find the words.

I don’t know Wesley’s history. Don’t know if he ever was genuine. He sure sounds phony to me.

Might as well add NPR to the list.

Wasn’t Clark relieved of his command over an incident with Russian soldiers at an airport?

Wesly Clark, the Butcher of Serbia, is a Fascist Cockroach Toady. Obviously gunning for VP nomination.

Wait a minute, is he going to allow Bush to spy on your library card now?

Constitution, nope. First Amendment, nope. Living Constitution, didn’t you know? And Clark will tell you which part is still operative. Typical Stalinist Democrat.

I don’t care how many stars he “earned”.........of course, primarily during the Clinton administration.

Clarke’s a pu**y. I’d readily say it to his face.

Has he looked at Voice of America (note, I mean VOA and not Air America). They sell anti-Americanism abroad. VOA calls it being an "independent" voice.

And what of the lies told in Congress yesterday? They demoralize the troops too by making them falsely believe that Rush slandered them.

Weasley Clark wanted the British to help him attack Russian troops during the Bosnia War. To his credit, the British General told Clark, “Sir, I will not start World War III for you.”

I think the MSM anchors know who took out Imus and they now realize they could be the next victim of the Hillary Matters smear machine.

“It is absolute fact that the military equipment used by the government at Waco came from Fort Hood and Clark’s command. The only issue debated by experts is whether Clark was at Waco in person to help direct the assault...”

What this all amounts to is a foreshadowing of things to come. If Klinton wins the White House( which is a good possibility ) anything and everything she opposes will be shut down ( that means us) . There will be Soviet style censorship across the boards. Anything that does not follow Dem party lines will be prohibited . I’m serious , this is what I see happening. They will control all information , Radical Islam will see us become an anti military country over night and take it’s shot at us. ACLU will help turn this place into a 3rd world toilet. Klinton MUST be beat at ALL cost !
The USA is in deep trouble here.

Clinton thinks having Clark on the ticket would shore up her military support. If any there be!

He’s the running mate, no doubt in my mind.
