"Clark is Done" said Joe Scarboring, Tucker Carlson,

[Jack_Dawson]

Bob Novak, Brit Hume, Jeff Greenfield, Howie Fineman, etc. before the final votes were tallied. "He won't make it past New Hampshire. New Hampshire will spell the end of the Clark campaign."

Did The General not get the memo? He's flying around today as if he came in 3rd place in New Hampshire. Did someone not tell The General that finishing 3rd place in New Hampshire, behind a couple of career politicians from neighboring states is a disaster?

Doesn't The General "get it"??? What the hell is wrong with this man?

:wtf:

[robsul82]

1. Apparently he didn't hear he tied Lieberman.

Not even four stars can slow Joementum!

(Only Hassadah can do that.)

Later.

[Dark Star]

6. Another gratuitous

bashing of the beaten Lieberman - please give it a rest.

[robsul82]

36. Oh, geez...

Grr.

Later.

RJS

[boxster]

39. By the way, it's Hadassah.

Thanks for playing.

[Jerseycoa]

40. Heh

Baghdad Joe. :D

[terrya]

Well, goodness, if Tucker Carlson said it's so....

Then I guess the good General just better pack it up right now.

God, Carlson is such a flaming asshole.

Terry

[JasonDeter]

29. BUT DON'T YOU LOVE IT!!!

that carlson can now be shown for the stupid asshole he really is? Lets hope that sissy Begalla and the Ragin Cajin will shove the absolutely pathetic judgement of carlson in his face. We'll see.

[Dark Star]

2. You start a thread about

what right-wing mainstream mediawhores said?

Jack, I'm beginning to worry about you!

:loveya:

[Jack_Dawson]

35. It's cathartic

It helps me deal with my anger. Well...that and :beer:

If I don't vent my mediawhore aggression in some way, my computer will be in jeopardy. :argh:

But thanks for your concern!!! :yourock:

[West Coast Democrat]

3. They were saying Kerry was "done" a short time ago

We'll see......

[boxster]

4. 2/3/04 is going to tell us a lot about Mr. Clark.

While I hoped he would do better in NH percentage-wise, finishing behind two Northeasterners in their own backyard is certainly nothing to feel bad about. He finished above Edwards when all indications were that he would not.

February 3rd is the day. If Clark can win at least a couple of states (and preferably, several!), this is a whole new ball game.

[BootinUp]

5. Thanks I needed a laugh

Whores I tell you, they are whores. Apparently, Clark is not going to get any good free television, this week, unless he does well at the debate which I suspect he will. Then he should get decent coverage following that.

Surely the media will feel he has passed their fucking test by then.

[Ilsa]

7. I wonder if they'll give a guarantee and promise on that.

I'd love to see the General present Tucker and Novak with a very large chocolate cake (stuffed with chimp turds) in the shape of a shoe, no, make that combat boot, after SC and a few other primaries. But maybe not as graciously as Hilary did.

[tnlefty]

8. I think that the General must be planning to stick around thru 2/10

He's been consistently running ads on 2 local stations between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m., when lots of us are tuning in to catch the weather updates, and none of the other candidates are running any ads.

edited for clarity

[Jack_Dawson]

9. What state are you in?

[tnlefty]

22. I'm in SE Tennessee and a couple of residents in N GA told me that they've

seen the same ads.

[Jack_Dawson]

25. Are the ads good? Compelling?

[underpants]

30. Ads running here in Va (2/10 state) and they are compelling

They run during the widely watched NBC affiliate morning show, all over the place.

The first one highlighted his military career (with B&W photos of him and stock Vietnam pics). The second one is just him "The people who started this unneeded war refuse to admit they were wrong...I have lead me into battle and I can lead us out of this....

The newest one tells the story of his father dying and his mother moving back to Little Rock and taking a job as a secretary which "allowed them to get by and stay together..." it is definitely geared towards women, mothers, and working women.

They are quite good actually.

[LeinesRed]

34. Lots of ads here in Wisconsin!

They started about three weeks ago...I think they are good, very compelling. Heavy on the leadership qualities...and one is specifically about Iraq.

[Jerseycoa]

44. If anybody wants to see the ads

http://clark04.com/ads/

The above link takes you to a page where all of the TV ads can be viewed.

I'm personally longing for a national ad with Max -- that kid kicks serious butt and I hope the campaign will take advantage of this special fan of the General. These videos are from the campaign video log. If you need a pick-me-up, no matter who your candidate, take the time to watch Max on America.

January 24, 2004: Day 8: Max on America
More video of Max, explaining why Wes Clark is the best candidate covering the domestic agenda issues.

[OKNancy]

46. That is too funny...and good

I watched the first one...takes a long time to download. He's a pip. Where was that done?

[tnlefty]

32. I like the ads, but please don't ask for too many specifics on the latest

one. I have a cold and my head isn't feeling too great in the early morning these days.

This morning was one I hadn't seen before and if IRC he has on a white shirt with a black-printed tie. I thinking that the message was different and good, but nothing specific.

The first one that aired roughly 3 wks. ago was the one that ends "he'll make a fine American president".

Edited to add: One big difference in the new one is that he's doing the speaking. (I hate when I do that)

[Lefta Dissenter]

13. In Wisconsin, our primary is on Feb 17th,

and we've been seeing his ads for a while now. We also have I think 3 new offices opening up. Not to mention the fact that our Lt. Gov. has been using all of her vacation time to campaign for Wes in NH.

Somehow I think that he figures to be in it for the long haul! :)

[tabasco]

10. Damn, these talking heads are getting so predictable.

They are like programmed robots.

[underpants]

11. Oh God Mathews show last night was ghastly

This was only one of the things that Scarborough (notice his chair was higher than Fineman's) and Mathews were spewing last night. Campbell Brown (apparently now a political analysts) and Fineman couldn't get a word in edge wise.

This is complete BS. Clark is clearly one of the "Final Four " (He called the Dems the "Elite Eight"-nice b-ball reference that will surely be distorted by Tucker and Novak and such). He has had ONE primary to run in and he made mistakes (psst he is human) but he is definitely in it to stay, at least for a while. Wolf was badgering him about exactly how much money he had to run on yesterday. This is clearly a public display of how much they fear him. Go General GO!

[Jack_Dawson]

14. Hardball was a Disaster

I thought CNN's coverage was definitely the lesser of two evils - and actually gave election results (numbers).

[West Coast Democrat]

15. It's a good thing nobody watches MSNBC or Hardball

even on election nights.

[GiovanniC]

18. I Watched Tweety

Obviously because I hate myself.

MSNBC and Hardball: "When jamming a ball-point pen into your eye just isn't painful enough."

[henslee]

23. ha! I funny.... I love when anyone calls him tweety. He must hate it.

[mikehiggins]

42. I'm going to go to the store and find a Tweety card and send it to him.

Why don't the rest of you do the same.

Include a text like:

"Loved your coverage of the Clark campaign. Does Rove pay in cash or tax credits?"

Just a suggestion.

[dae]

12. It will be a whole new race after Feb 3rd. Let them rant and rave.

[bookman]

16. Tucker

I suspect Tucker is as good at predicting elections as he is in predicting book sales.

Get the other shoe ready!

[mikehiggins]

43. Tucker claimed to be Howard Powered.

As if Governor Dean didn't have enough to worry about.

[MoonRiver]

17. LOLOL!

I think they were just the 'get out the vote' push that Clark needed! Keep spinning Pukes! We Clark supporters love it!

[Jerseycoa]

41. In a weird way

I am starting to love it. Let them do their worst. It will make us stronger and maybe earn themselves a well-deserved backlash. On the other hand, pretty soon they will be tearing Kerry apart and go back to ignoring us again. It's all good. Wes gets to do local media and screw the nationals. We've got plenty of dough and can go through Super Tuesday with what we have on hand. No prob. :shrug:

[wryter2000]

19. Don't listen to those bozos

We're not going to let their ilk choose our candidate.

[Jack_Dawson]

21. The scary thing is lots of people DO listen

and are oblivious to the "mediawhore" concept. Like my Mom, a Clark supporter, who today said "too bad about Clark last night" because everyone was painting it as a disaster. Pukes. Isn't there a law that we're supposed to get "balanced" TV?

Hardball's panels are always a couple "journalists" and a couple RW shills (Noonan, Scarboring). But never any LW shills. Ever.

[incapsulated]

20. I don't get it, either?

I must be a nutjob like the General.

;)

[copithorne]

24. Tucker Carlson is a self acknowledged liar

In Blinded by the Right Tucker Carlson is exposed as someone who is quite open about lying for profit. He will write any article, containing any slander which he knows to be false because he can get paid for it.

I have no understanding of how these people get paid to think on television. They are total idiots. They have no integrity. They have no insight into politics. They are partisan hacks. Robert Novak not only betrayed his country and lied about it -- he's a moron.

Why would CNN feature a professional liar on their network? Why do so few people in this country value integrity and honor? I don't understand it.

[Jack_Dawson]

26. What's "Blinded by the Right"?

[bicentennial_baby]

28. A book that you MUST read!

It's written by David Brock

[robsul82]

37. That's must-have literature, mister!

Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative was written by David Brock, who worked as a professional mudslinger for the Republicans during the late 80s through the Clinton years. In the book, he basically confirms the vast right-wing conspiracy and tells us all about it.

Later.

RJS

[Jack_Dawson]

38. Is Brock still alive?

Is he still with us? How many times has the IRS audited him?

[BootinUp]

27. Reading your post was a nice experience

through the twilight zone :)

Really I like the way you think, but the fact is that it has been this way for a long time. Having a candidate like the General succeed in getting elected could have an effect on their boldness though.

[teevee99]

31. killer joe scarborough, why did you murder

your intern?

I wouldn't listen to anything the man says, unless he's threatening to kill me.....which I would find a fairly credible threat given his history.

[LeinesRed]

33. In their dreams...

they fear the Kerry/Clark ticket...gotta write Clark off in a hurry.

[genius]

45. Are you talking about Joe Scarboro, the guy with the dead intern in his

office. Who cares what he says? He belongs in jail.

[yellowcanine]

47. If Joe "What body?" Scarface said it, that's good enough for me.

Isn't it great how much these weasals "Know" after they see a few tracking polls and talk to a couple of "highly placed sources within the _____________campaign?" Actually, NoFacts is the main practicioner of this fine "art".

[yellowcanine]

48. Does anyone think that Brit Hume looks as if he's sitting on a steel rod?

Of all of the media whores, I think he annoys me the most. At least NoFacts is amusing in a perverted sort of way.
