Moore a 'Man of Conscience'
On one hand it scares me that Clark was once on of our
highest military officers.
I think I despise Clark even more than I do
Dean... if that's possible.
On the other hand I think it is funny when
these dems get in trouble for the things
their wacko celeb supporters
say.
How about the liberal minded Peter Jennings taking Clark to task
for not denouncing
Moore's comments in the debate? Cudos for
him.

Clark: Michael Moore a 'Man of
Conscience'
Eight days after
his most prominent supporter falsely accused President Bush of being a
military "deserter," Gen. Wesley Clark again declined an opportunity to
condemn the bogus charge, maintaining, as he has since Thursday, that he
hasn't examined the allegation.
Asked Sunday whether he
knew of "any evidence" to support the accusation leveled by radical
filmmaker Michael Moore, who called President Bush "a deserter" last
Saturday as Clark looked on, the former NATO commander told "Meet the
Press," "Well, I've never looked into those . . . those
allegations."
Clark's protestations of ignorance come despite the
fact that the Boston Globe, the newspaper that originally reported that Bush
had missed a full year of National Guard service in the 1970s, said
Friday:
"News reports, including some in the Globe, have questioned
Bush's constancy as a National Guard airman at the time, but he has not been
credibly accused of desertion, a serious charge. Clark should have distanced
himself from the remark."
Moore still cites the original May 2000
Globe report on his Web site to defend his Bush "desertion" charge, though
the New York Times discovered later that
year that the Globe missed evidence that proved its original report was
false.
Still, despite his key backer's disingenuousness,
Gen. Clark told "Meet the Press," "I will tell you this about Michael Moore.
I think he's a man of conscience. I think he's done a lot of great things
for ordinary people, working people across America. And I'm very happy to
have is support."
Ever since the Moore flap erupted after Thursday
night's debate, Gen. Clark's support in the New Hampshire primary has been
dropping like a rock, plummeting nine points in just three days, according
to a Gallup survey released Saturday.
