Ramsey Clark:
"-- Flew to Hanoi to give aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese while American POWs were being beaten, tortured, and killed;
"-- Flew to Tehran to condemn the "Crimes of America" while his fellow citizens were being held hostage by Iranian militants;
"-- Flew to Tripoli to cheer up Colonel Mohamar Qaddafi after the U.S. bombed Libya terrorist training facilities;
"-- Flew to France to kneel at the feet of the late Ayatollah Khomeini;
"-- Flew to Baghdad to consult with Saddam Hussein;
"-- Flew to the defense of PLO leaders sued by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair-bound American tourist who was shot and tossed overboard from the cruise ship Achille Lauro by Palestinian commandos in 1986;
"-- Flew to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's side, in a show of solidarity against American imperialism, to defend him against charges of genocide, rape, and torture against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo;
"-- Flew to the aid of indicted Rwanda genocide conspirator Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Hutu pastor accused of luring hundreds of Tutsi men, women, and children into his church and hospital compound -- where they were massacred by gunmen and grenade-throwers; and
"-- Flew to support the 1993 World Trade Center bombers (he played the race card for sympathetic minority jurors by decrying our racist judicial system), and continues to represent Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, the scheming Muslim cleric now in federal prison for his role in planning New York City terrorist attacks."

Unless you're one of this country's most bitter and foul enemies, there just isn't much about old Ramsey Clark to like, let alone applaud.
"Ramsey Clark, the war criminal's best friend
The former U.S. attorney general has become the tool of left-wing cultists who defend Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein and Rwandan torturers as anti-imperialist heroes"
