of McCain's service record.

I don't buy any of it. Obama's retraction, Clark's retraction or any official apology given by Melatonin Inc.about the insult made to McCain's service record.

Clark is an anemic has been who should be ashamed of himself for taking that posture. He could have selected any one of a number of ways to voice his displeasure with McCain. The overly convenient fact that a high ranking NATO general was the one who made the comment tells me that this whole thing was set up and discussed ahead of time with logistics gambles in the mix.

Obama is scared shit-less of Mccain's Medals...he has nothing to compare with them except for a very questionable position on his loyalty to the country he wants to be the commander in chief of.

I smell fear and It smells good.

Phulla

yep. The 'bots' buy it though.

They fall for anything with Obama's name on it.

And Clark's remarks have his name all over them. He had to disavow it because it failed so utterly, as it should have and did.

But the bots don't care. That Kool aide is weird stuff, ya know?

Key word caution though Phulla..you have just entered bot country where you must check your reality at the gate and bow down a praise Alli Bama Obama..or suffer(they think,hahaha) the powerful click of a barrage of silly little down rates.<smile>

man on a stage with a genuine war hero.

It's like comparing a little boy to fully developed man, ahem if you get my meaning.

This of course gave Melatonin Inc. the excuse to get up and talk about his own patriotism, gotta admit it was a clever play but I think a lot of people are seeing right through it.

Oh, I know. Everyone sees right through it. Even the bots, (though they will never admit it). Instead,they are all desperately trying to spin it and justify it and lie about it as usual.

They learned fast how to lie and spin facts from their hero, the New fake Messiah, afterall.

Why should we expect better from them?

How ya figger?

Make the case. Explain just how this is all coming down to what you want it to be as a bottom line. Why would Obama be "scared shit-less of Mccain's Medals"? "Loyalty to the country" is a problem for Obama? How so?

Make it good because this entire string reads like a dreamer weaver gathering.

How very racist of you.

If you watched Face the Nation you would know that Clark was addressing the issue of judgement, not questioning McCain's service record. In fact, he rightly praised McCain's service record. It is pathetic than McCain or anybody else could read his statement as an attack on McCain's service record. The McCain surogates need to stop whining and start discussing the issues.

<link>

tell that to Obama ,NE. He totally denounced Clark's remarks ..that is AFTER he sent him out as his surrogate to first suggest that McCcain's service didn't mean he was presidential material.

Of course the basic statement Clark made was simple and true.

But, we all know if we are really honest what the inference was there. The inference was ..'big fuckin' deal, McCain was shot down in Nam, so friggin' what?" That was the intent of the statement. To demean his service to his country. And here he was a severely injured POW for 4 years. I found it quite shameful. Just as I did when The Swift Boat Vets went after Kerry.

That's low. No matter how you try and spin it. It's dasterdly.

And again..if it isn't WHY then did you guy disavow strongly Clark's remarks??

Does the guy, Obama stand for NOTHING his surrogates say? He sends them out then won't back them up when their talking points backfire?!

What is up with that?!

Furthermore if Clark was addressing the issue of judgment, that might be a losing idea,too. Because millions of Americans are still scratching their heads over the fact that Obama sat in that Church for twenty years and took his precious innocent children to listen to Wright rant and spin on about how the United States government methodically infects blacks with HIV and that the 'chickens are now coming home to roost on America for our sins'.

That's child abuse. And it shows Obama lacks completely in common sense and good judgment.

DragonTat2:

How very racist of you.

I agree that Phulla's 'melatonin' wording does indicate a racist bent. But the fact remains in my humble opinion that Clark's demeaning McCain's service was a low brow tactic.

Obama's association with Rev. Wright is a valid judgement issue as is McCain's association with Rev. Hagge - though they are not equilivant.

on General Wesley Clark's part. Frankly, I suspect envy & jealousy might be playing a part here, since he was unable to secure the Dem. Presidential nomination on his own four years ago.

It is disgusting, watching a military man turn on another such. I have lost any respect I ever had for General Clark with this latest ... "gaffe." I wonder if he has any clue about the huge amount of complex training that goes on in Naval Aviation -- somehow, I doubt it. Any pilot, no matter how skilled, can get shot down, of course. Clark's statement shows just how out of touch he IS with miitary realities. It will also, most likely, drive some on-the-fence voters TO Sen. McCain's side.

Mr. Obama better get a better handle on & control over his "surrogates" between now & Nov. 4th, that is for sure. This kind of crappy language is simply unacceptable, as are most efforts by BOTFers or other Ob/BO-Bots to "defend" what Gen. Clark said.

"Swiftboating" is WRONG and is an unethical campaign behavior, no matter what side is doing it.

That said, "thank you for your support" and always remember, I am NOT the "Real" Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, although I AM the REAL original poster, "SpeakerNancy."

a blatant attempt to smear or throw in doubt Sen. McCain's skills and talents, thus, his qualifications to be President.

It was a horrendous statement and I am horrified that you, my dear friend, who served in the military yourself just a few year before Sen. McCain was shot down -- would dare to defend it. Horrified. Is there no loyalty or honor at all anymore -- anywhere in cyberspace or the political world? Sen. Obama, who never once indicated any interest in serving his country beyond the Illinois statehouse, has got some damn nerve, prancing around the country trying to present hmself as some sort of "patriot" while he clearly CONDONES comments such as Gen. Wesley Clark made the other day.

Shameful, shameful behavior -- it is, simply, inexcusable.

I am shocked and surprised that you would post in this manner, DalNE. It is one thing to be a partisan for "your" candidate; it is quite another to stoop to such levels to defend the indefensible.

And there is nothing humble about you or your opinions.

Personally, I find ANY slams of McCain's record as a POW -- a horrendous role into which he was thrust, obviously involuntarily and which he carried out with great honor, courage & dignity -- far more regrettable.

Gen. Clark's statements are, simply, indefensible. Shameful, disgusting, disrespectful behavior. AND they may just move more undecideds and Independent voters INTO the McCain column.

Clark should resign as an advisor to Obama's campaign. Just another "Gate" for the clumsy Obama, hmmm? Lot of "-gates" going around.
