Ramsey Clark to Protesters: 'Let's Impeach Bush'
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark told a crowd of cheering anti-American demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest the impending war in Iraq on Saturday that he was launching a campaign to impeach President Bush.
"(The Constitution) provides a means of preventing what President George Bush wants to do - it's called impeachment," Clark proclaimed, before outlining his bill of particulars against the White House.
The Democrat attorney general under President Johnson charged that Bush had engaged in "usurping the power of the Constitution and the people, being above the law, treating anybody any way he wants to - no civil rights, no civil liberties, nothing."
Then Clark engaged in a call and response exercise with the Baghdad-sympathizing demonstrators.
"Has George Bush committed impeachable offenses?" he asked.
"Yes!" the crowd shouted back.
"Has he assumed the power to wage aggressive war by himself on his own decision?" the radical left-wing ex-lawman added.
"Yes!" the protesters repeated.
"Is that an impeachable offense?" Clark asked.
"Yes!" came the retort one more time.
Clark then charged that Bush has already "waged war, first strike and preemption, on his own, without the consent of the Congress or the United Nations." In fact Bush has won resolutions of support for his Iraqi policy from both bodies.
Next the former AG asked the crowd, "Has (Bush) threatened to use nuclear weapons?" "Yes," came the response, despite the fact that, that charge was also erroneous.
"Has he authorized and condoned assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, and secret holding of people in unlawful detention?" Clark wondered aloud, before adding bizarrely, "And bribery!"
"Yes!"
Then, throwing in everything but the kitchen sink, Clark asked, "Has he undermined international law and the Constitution and the charter of the United Nations?" before proclaiming, "Then let's impeach him!"
The ex-AG said he was launching "a major campaign' for Bush's impeachment, announcing, "We're gonna have a website. We're gonna go for it!"
He then exhorted the crowd, "Remember the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton four years ago for nothing. Are we gonna stand by when the whole world is threatening and do nothing about impeaching George Bush?"

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth fighting for is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than he. ~~John Stuart Mill

I'm reminded of a scene from Alien Nation (the series) where during a protest against the aliens, the human cop takes the lead stage and starts talkigna bout how bad the aliens are and how much he hates them then gets wilder and wilder in his hatred and anger eventually turning the crowd off by showcasing the naked bigotry they were acting on.
Oddly enough Ramsey is doing the same thing with quite different effects.

The Democrat attorney general under President Johnson charged that Bush had engaged in "usurping the power of the Constitution and the people, being above the law, treating anybody any way he wants to - no civil rights, no civil liberties, nothing."So how does this decrepit leftist old fart explain his own continued theft of oxygen? The fact that he's more-or-less alive and on stage in front of this pitiful crowd contradicts his own words.

This is very series...
But in all seriesness, we know Scott Ritter is on the Iraqi payroll. I wouldn't be surprised if Ramsey Clark is too. The guy is unabashed in his hatred of America.

The Democrat attorney general under President Johnson....Uhhhhhh.....wait a minute here.....wasn't America at war when Clark's boss, President Johnson, was in office? Did he initiate impeachment proceedings against him?
Or is he just a low-grade, two-bit, maggot-infested, sassy-mouthed, 100 year old, hippie freak?

What's with this bufoon? He is a fool. Like most ardent socialists.
To: MonroeDNA
This guy got appointed AG because he was Tom Clark's son. No one realsized until later that he is certifiable.

It was the 60s. Americans were taking a lot of drugs and they elected a democrat. People make mistakes and the American people tend to think of his contribution to American history much the same way we treat that night in which we wake upthe morning after in a puddle of someone else's vomit.

Calling for President Bush's impeachment?
Fine... He's well within his rights to do so.
Weaving that call into his activities with an enemy in a time of conflict, if not war?
THIS needs to be investigated.
