WOW! Clarke is Amazing! On MTP NOW

[ulTRAX]

Man this guy is leaving no place for the Bush Junta's character assassins to hide.

1. It is not a sure thing,,, the RW Radio Media Talking Points

Include accusations that Clarke donated to the Democratic Party.

That charge will stick. Why because the average American can't go out and prove it for themselves.

The RW media made the charge that Wes Clark donated to the Republicans. That charge stuck through out Clark's run here @ DU till the end.

Just know that we have along way to go. Though Clarke is doing well the RW media will eventually undermine him enough to render him useless. They have the RW media and especially the Radio Hosts to beat the drum to the masses everyday 24/7. Eventually their charges will stick.

Are you a soothsayer?

11. Is MTP available

online? My grandchildren are here and playing Playstation 2.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

8. Clarke can donate to whomever he wants...

...he's not running for office, and he's served under two GOP presidents, as well as one NeoCon dictator. He also has a large contingent of friends in high places that know him to be honest and dependable.

As long as the rightwingers attack Clarke, his book blowing the whistle on the NeoCons will continue to sell like hotcakes.

Bring it on.

[bahrbearian]

9. He also was a registered Repug in 2000.

28. Why get defensive just because a non-Dem

donated to the Democratic Party?
That like being defensive when someone call you a Liberal, as if that is a bad thing.
Just because the hate mongers define something in their terms does not mean that is the definition. (And it usually is not.)

[trapper914]

36. The whole story

Clarke donated to a couple of former co-workers in counter intelligence who decided to run for office. Sounds more like a guy helping out a friend than it does partisanship.

[Beloved Citizen]

2. Can't Wait!

I'm in LA and I'm going to have to wait.

But this is great news.

[Rowdyboy]

3. It just gets better

This is a killer interview

[bahrbearian]

4. Yes it was like Tim was talking to a Real Adult.

Saw it in Seattle at 6 a.m.

[Atman]

6. SLAM POW!

The handwritten love letter FROM Bush re: Clarke's resignation...wow. Right in the kisser!

[bahrbearian]

10. Looked Like pretty sloppy Penmanship too.

No wonder Timmy won't (couldn't) read it on T.V.

[joeprogressive]

7. Clarke is single handedly taking down the pres.

This is good stuff. The election could be decided on this info.

[Jawja]

12. Exactly.

* wanted to run on 9/11 and the "War on Terra."

Looks like he certainly will.

[berner59]

He is brilliant!!!

Thank god the media is still allowing him to be on everything... He's got Bush cold!!!

He can rebut everything!!! I just love that he says "declassify everything..." Trump you Frist!!!!

I love his explanation on why he didn't quit and decided to spin... Russert asked why his book shouldn't be considered spin...he said that he has no obligations now...pow!!!

What a hero!!!

[Blue_Tires]

13. this guy has been flawless!

he hasn't faltered at ANY of the toughest questions/smears directed at him

[seabeyond]

22. you can tell he isnt lieing

and that is why he doesnt have problems facing the supposed contraversies or telling the story. it is too easy, and there are no pauses and it is in ease. a person can feel lie, and this guy is tlaking too many things, switching to many areas with ease and speaks without effort. now i can absolutely see the arrogance in the man too, but that is ok, he sits in truth enough it doesnt hurt him like with bushco in their arrogance

[Kahuna]

14. I'm watching. It just came on at 10:30 est where I live...

So far. Sooooo good. :thumbsup:

[berner59]

15. His letter to Bush...

Tim: Were you just being polite???
Clarke: Yeah..my mother taught me to be polite...

When he shows Tim Bush's postcard...brilliant!!!

"Taxpayer paid character assassination..." gotta love him!!!

[buycitgo]

19. postcard?

please?

[emulatorloo]

29. handwritten "postcard" from GWB thanking him for his stellar service

to the country. Point being not boilerplate, handwritten praise.

[Gothic Sponge]

17. It's sad

The reason we like Clarke so much is because he speaks so honestly about our government. I'm not accustom to hearing such honesty from someone from Washington.....Especially when every word out of Bushes mouth is a lie.

[enough]

26. Yes, Gothic, I was thinking that during the 60 Minutes interview.

It seemed almost surreal to hear someone speaking honestly, with his mind and heart directly connected to what he was saying. You almost never hear anyone speak like that in the media any more.

[maggrwaggr]

37. I felt that way when he explained about the Bin Ladens plane leaving

I remember this overwhelming feeling of "finally somebody's actually answering some goddamn questions!"

What's so hard about that?

His explanation was simple, made 100% sense, and put the matter to rest for me.

[boobooday]

16. I'm watching him now

We were lucky to have him there for so long. He is deadly serious, and absolutely devastating to Bush.

To Dick Clarke:
:toast: :toast:

18. Did anyone just hear that.....

"I am certain that in the next few months we will find OBL alive or dead." Do you think he already knows?

[linazelle]

31. Clarke said OBL's being hunted by the same guys that hunted Saddam

when he appeared on Larry King. He said that the people hunting OBL are good at what they do, he said he knows some of them and he said OBL will be caught be he also said it's two years too late and irreparable harm has been done by concentrating on Iraq instead of OBL and the war on terror.

[seabeyond]

20. he voted al gore

hm...........i wouldnt have guessed

[Atman]

25. Who voted Gore?

He's said he was a registered Republican in 2000.

[Florida_Geek]

27. Clarke voted for Gore in 2000

:)

[emulatorloo]

30. makes sense - Gore continuity Clinton war on terror, GWB unknown w no

foreign policy experience.

[Ilsa]

21. I'm glad Russert is trying to ask rough questions.

I want everyone to feel like Clarke has been grilled and his motivations vetted.

Speaking of motivations, how can those repukes justify slamming Clarke for being motivated to sell a damn book when their motivation is to steal another election through lies and propaganda!

Go Clarke! Missed part of the interview, though. My kids walked into my front living room with fresh neighbor's dog doo-doo on their shoes and got it all over the carpet and stank up the house. Had to start the Bissell right away to get it up. Nasty.

[buycitgo]

23. got cable?

it's on again tonight on CNBC or MSNBC

not sure which

[RamboLiberal]

33. MTP repeats at 10PM and 1AM CNBC

That's when I usually catch it. I did get to see the last 45 minutes today - Clarke was so calm and great refuting every point Timmy threw at him. I thought Timmy was not in his usual attack dog mode - but then maybe even Timmy knew this guy is the Alpha Dog.

[joeprogressive]

24. It comes on twice here

I have the VCR rolling now that I know this will be the turning point in the election. I will pull this tape out once a year when we get the whitehouse back and have a Richard Clarke day. The man is my new hero.

[BabsSong]

32. Sounds like Clarke is using "Dem" talking points and I love it

I missed the show--can't figure out what happened.....anyway, if I understand he kept going at the theme of the repukes doing character assassination AND that is what Clinton brought up at Unity Dinner and Kerry brought up just yesterday. So take up arms folks: THE talking point for all from here through November whether it's Clarke or a lot of shit to come is that "repukes having nothing to run on; don't want people to look at the facts; and all they can do is character assassination". We have to repeat this daily on tv and in print. You go, Clarke.

[x-g.o.p.er]

34. Clark was devastatingly effective, I thought.

He makes the attacks by the right look all the more shallow. What a great performance!!

[BigBigBear]

35. Outstanding

Cleaned Russert's clock.

Happened to catch a moment or two of Fox, and just caught Brit Hume sniffing about Clarke's credibility as being "mortally wounded", without (predictably enough), being able to cite a single instance of action or leadership on the terrorism issue by Bush or Rice to counter Clarke's charges. What a has-been hack.
