Ramsey Clark Endorses John Kerry

One of the leading “America bashers” on the political scene today has endorsed John Kerry for president. Speaking to reporters after a February 27 Washington press conference to rally support for Haiti’s Marxist President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Ramsey Clark said he’s voting for Kerry because he would take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction.

This is certainly the case. Kerry told the New York Daily News editorial board that he would have intervened “unilaterally” with U.S. troops if necessary to save Aristide’s corrupt regime from a popular rebellion. Aristide, who developed a reputation for brutalizing and killing his political opponents, was encouraged by the Bush administration to leave the country.

“I think John Kerry is a great human being,” Clark told this reporter. “I knew him when he was—I call a youngster—in his 20s. I saw him as an extremely caring person, an extremely courageous person, and a person who was deeply concerned for peace and the well-being of other people.”

Clark has been labeled a “traitor” for his habit of showing up in countries hostile to the U.S. A lawyer, he has represented accused terrorists and war criminals.

Ramsey Clark is on the fringe this is bad news for Kerry .....it will cause all those stories of Clark/Fonda/Kerry protesting to surface once again.

Stage Deli? Why'd you have to bring that up now????

[Cap Huff]

In no way is Ramsey Clark fringe. He is WAAAAY over the edge.

A couple of years ago Dales [maybe it was when he posted under a different screen name which I've forgotten] did a lot of research into Ramsey Clark, and posted a number of threads that were fascinating, but more than scary about the work of that man, his connections, and the money that floats him.

Phew! Dodged a bullet there.

For a minute there, I was afraid he might endorse Bush.

This SHOULD be the kiss of death...
Kerry clearly unmasked as the champion of the Looniest Left.
The Carter/Castro/Chavez wing of the party....

Lord help us --- but I lack confidence in the voters I see today in the malls, on the TV and jumping the borders.....

The termites and cockroaches have done grave damage to the foundation..... This bastard Kerry could win...

Semper Fi

kerry is a disgrace to those of us who have worn the uniform and America on the whole. He should be on his knees grovelling and begging forgiveness of the true heroes of the Vietnam war.

Isn't this about as bad as being endorsed by Gore or Clinton? LOL!

[eddie willers]

He was counting on Ramsey's blessing to take him over the top.
