Columnist Farah: "Why Wesley Clark Is Dangerous"

Why Wesley Clark is dangerous

Posted: September 19, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

Gen. Wesley Clark may be the most dangerous person in the presidential race.

More dangerous than Howard Dean? More dangerous than Al Sharpton? More dangerous than Dennis Kucinich?

Yes, more dangerous than any of these men – because he could win the Democratic nomination and the presidential election in 2004.

Mark my words: You are going to see a huge shift of support for Clark in the polls. He will become an instant front-runner in the next few days. It's as if the other nine clowns in the race have simply been setting the stage for the anointed one. I wouldn't be surprised.

Clark isn't just dangerous because he can win and replace President Bush. Frankly, I didn't vote for Bush and he has been, overall, an even worse president than I had feared he would be.

But make no mistake: Clark would be much, much worse.

How much worse? Remember Bill Clinton?

Clark has attributes Clinton never had. He is better looking. He has a strong military record that would fool most people into thinking he's a genuine hero and patriot.

And, like Clinton, he will say and do anything he needs to say or do to be elected. Clark is raw ambition personified.

Clark is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual tax increaser. If you need any more reasons to oppose him actively, consider these:

He nearly started World War III when serving as NATO commander in the unconstitutional, immoral war on Serbia. When the Russians took control of Pristina airport before NATO troops, Clark, at the behest of NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana, ordered 500 British and French paratroopers to take it away from them. Thankfully, his order was disregarded by British Gen. Sir Mike Jackson, who told Clark: "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you."

It was Clark, once again, at the center of the Waco massacre. He was in charge at Fort Hood and was only too happy to cooperate with Attorney General Janet Reno in providing the armor and personnel needed for the military-style assault on the Branch Davidian church.

Clark attended Oxford as a Rhodes scholar with Bill Clinton. But the relationship hardly ended there. It was under Clinton's watch that Clark became a rising star in the military. And once his military career was over, he found a home working for the Stephens Group in Arkansas – the same business incubator that fostered the Clintons' rise to power.

Clark's nickname among those who served under him should give you an idea of the extent of his megalomania. He was referred to as "the Supreme Being." Col. David Hackworth called him the "Ultimate Perfumed Prince" and added "he's far more comfortable in a drawing room discussing political theories than hunkering down in the trenches where bullets fly and soldiers die."

If this isn't enough for you, there's plenty more. But, consider the distinct possibility that he is, in addition to being a serious candidate in his own right, potentially a stalking horse for the other Clinton – Hillary.

Can you not imagine Clark-Clinton or Clinton-Clark as the ultimate dream ticket for the Democrats in 2004?

It could happen. We could find our nation back where it was between 1992 and 2000. I have a feeling, because of his utter ruthlessness and predisposition to kill innocent civilians in Serbia and Kosovo, that Clark is potentially even more dangerous than Clinton.

As one of Clinton's enemies, victims and targets, that's a disturbing thought.

What can we do about this threat?

Clark has the ability to fool people. He's said to be charming. He's said to have charisma. He is undoubtedly the pick of the globalists like George Soros, currently raising $75 million to pick the next president. It's time to sound the alarm – to alert your friends, your neighbors and your co-workers to the real Wesley Clark.

Pshaw! As if Nikita Dean is going to make way for Ashley Clark? He'll go postal long before then. And no way no how Hillary is going to allow Clark to grab the Democratic nomination if she sees Bush can be beaten. Hillary will want to be #1. I can't see the Democrats going for any one else but Queen Bee.

Frankly, I didn't vote for Bush

Well then thanks for nothing, Joe Farah. You talk a good game, but when it really matters, you pouted and tried to shoot a hole in the lifeboat. In 2000 a vote for anyone other than Bush was a in effect a vote for Gore and 4 more years of efforts to further solidify and entrench corruption, to create a national 'machine' much more unlikely to ever be overthrown.

Some so called 'true conservatives' remind me of those deranged spurned lovers, who rejected by their love interest then decide to kill her and the children. Ya know, the 'If I can't have her, no one can' attitude.

Or perhaps the equally sick deranged logic, "My children are better off dead than living with her, she might lead them to hell".

Yes, I wonder if this means that he'll be voting for Bush this time, or if he'll be berating us with more articles about how we should have tried harder to stop President Clark from being elected.

Excuse me, but aren't you doing the exact thing when you attack Farah, who you probably agree with 90% of the time?

Is there nothing left of your hate you can spew for Hillary or Bill?

What is it about some conservatives that think they need to attack each other, ignoring the cause. They remind me of Christian denominational infighting.

Now that Farah is tarred and feathered, have you any energy left to comment on Farah's warning - would you mind if General Clark were elected?

By the way, IMO Joseph Farah just put up the first big red flag regarding General Clark. Everywhere else this is a non-story.

General Clark has as much chance as being elected as Capt. Crunch.

I think that there is little chance he makes it through his first debate, where when asked a question he'll have to pull out his cell phone and say "Hold on a minute, let me ask".

The man is an empty sack.

Go ahead and vote for the Republicrats/Demicans. As they pass unconstitutional laws, extort more tax dollars from your family, send your children off to die in Somalia and Bosnia,then take away your ability to defend yourself...you have the satisfaction of NOT putting a Marxist in the White House?

Time to WAKE UP!!!!

You're wrong, the time isn't right for Hillary, but she might take a shot at VP and push back her big hopes to 2012.

Clark also recently said, (paraphrased),

"Civilians don't need assault rifles! (sic) Anyone who wants an assault rifle should join the military!"

The fool does not see that this is a sure Rx for a CW.

"Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? -- fluoridation of water? . . . Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face? . . . Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water -- why, there are studies under way to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake! -- children's ice cream!

"Do you know when fluoridation first began? . . . Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh?

"It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual -- certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works."

No one is being asked to waste a single precious vote on Joe Farah, thus paving the way for a takeover by Michael Moore.

That's the difference.

Clark has the stink but not the substance of Alexander Haig.

Careful, Batsy. If Mr. Bush continues on his current path -- i.e. playing footsie with Fat Teddy on education, rolling over for the biggest farm subsidies EVER, NOT fighting like h*ll for good conservative judicial nominees, NOT taking any action whatever to protect our borders and defend them from invasion (and, yes, this IS an invasion), I know for a flat fact that I won't vote for him again...and I do not for a moment believe that I'm unique in that view.

Weaselly Clark, on his record, is a putz, a prissy-ass superduper micromanager ala Jimmuh, and widely disliked throughout the military, but the 'Rats only care about the 4 stars formerly on his shoulder as a diversion from the too-obvious and too-accurate perception of the public that their party doesn't give warm spit for the defense of the nation.

Besides, haven't you noticed that the media, who would collectively cream their jeans if Hitlery were to run, have JUST creamed their jeans when this bozo tossed his hat in? If you think that Weaselly is anything other than a stalking horse for PIAPS, think again.

I've said before, Clark s the favorite of the terminally hip Washington Press Corps, nothing more.

Howard the Dean has connected with his base - they aren't going anywhere.

Clark has a hard time connecting with anyone. Most of the USA sees him as a talking head on CNN, not the winner of a war most people lost attention of after the first week (those were a looong 80 days!).

Clark is all icing. Take him seriously, but no fear.
