Ann Coulter on Wesley Clark
Just thought I would share this...I was skipping around this website(Proud to be Canadian)...and I came accross this opinion piece written by Coulter...
Is she Canadian...?

anyway...here's a sample...

(snip)
The Democrats' Idea Of A General
DEMOCRATS are so delirious about finding a general who is a pacifist scaredy-cat that no one seems to have bothered to investigate whether Wesley Clark is sane.

On "Meet the Press" back in November, Clark described intelligence as "a sort of gray goo as you look at it. You can't see through it, exactly, and if you try to touch it, it gets real sticky and you might actually interfere with the information that you're getting back. So you have to draw inferences from it." No, wait. I'm sorry. I think that was Clark talking about Monica Lewinsky's dress, not national security intelligence.

Meanwhile, Clark recently said that the "two greatest lies that have been told in the last three years" are: "You couldn't have prevented 9/11 and there's another one that's bound to happen." If he were president, Clark says, there would be no more terrorist attacks.

The adversarial watchdog press did not ask Clark to explain how he could guarantee an end to terrorist attacks, but recited Clark's prior statements calling for better intelligence. Apparently, if we could just refine the gray goo of intelligence to a magical terrorist-prediction machine, Clark could put an end to this terrorism nonsense once and for all.

3. I guess when you're stepping up to bat
Everyone wants to take a swing.

Ann Coulter....sigh...would someone please hook her up with one of Rush's old doctors? She is in serious need of medication.

14. I didn't know she was Canadian, either.
It's hard to even consider her human. The woman is a vortex of dismissal. Whirling venom.

Karma takes its time sometimes, but it does make the rounds. The Emperess Coulter will face it on the flip side of her debasing and hate-drenched remarks about "liberals."

Also I hold accountable the men and women who pay her to speak and write. They are as much to blame for her extremely negative impact of public discourse.

21. What do I think of what she says about General Clark?
I think it's garbage, just like everything else she writes. Not worth the paper that it is written on.

10. The woman's insane
Only the most hardcore that will never vote for anyone less conservative than Richard Perle take her seriously.

Her's are only the rantings of someone with a serious chemical imbalance. She needs to be hospitalized. Forcibly if necessary as she'd likely resist.

12. This is all she's got???
Not bad, not bad at all. This didn't even get my heart rate up one point! There was a whole lot better reasons to stabilize the Balkans than there was to unstabilize the Middle East. And the rest of it you just kind of pshaw because he's a General after all, not Al Gore. I figured they wouldn't be able to hit him very hard. That's one of his best features.

Now if he could just explain to me what the hell he was thinking back in the 80's. Did he miss Comic Relief or what?

15. There is no greater complement
to ones candidate than to have Ann Coulter run a hit piece on him. I'm glad that Wes has the right wing loonies that freaked out.

20. Interesting view of the RW spin against Clark.
He's *insane*

He's a hypocrit

He was fired

etc....

Under Clark's command, the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy by mistake, killing three Chinese journalists. Other NATO air strikes under Clark mistakenly damaged the Swiss, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian and Hungarian ambassadors' residences. Despite the absence of ground troops, Yugoslavia took three American POWs, whose release was eventually brokered by Jesse Jackson. America was standing tall.

Clark's forces bombed a civilian convoy by mistake, killing more than 70 ethnic Albanians, and then Clark openly lied about it to the press. First he denied NATO had done it, and when forced to retract that, Clark pinned the blame on an innocent U.S. pilot. As New York Newsday reported on April 18, 1999: "American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the staff of Army Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO commander, pointed to an innocent F-16 Falcon pilot who was castigated by the media for blasting a refugee convoy." Eventually, even a model of probity like Bill Clinton was shocked by Clark's mendacity and fired him.

At the end of major combat operations led by NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark, arch-villain Slobodan Milosevic was still in power. (At least Clark won't have to worry about any embarrassing "mission accomplished" photo-ops coming back to haunt him.) Today, almost a decade and $15 billion later, U.S. troops are still bogged down in the Balkans. No quagmire there!

That's the Democrats' idea of a general.


The General is not free of baggage, that's for sure. The RW media will have a field day with Clark. Sad....

22. I think all candidates have some baggage, it's inevitable.
And I think all of them are up to the task of dealing with it.

I was waiting for Mann Coulter to call him 'unpatriotic'.

Boy, wouldn't that create a shitstorm?

27. Coulter's questioning Clark's sanity?....That's rich...ROTFL!
This woman has deluded herself into thinking that a secret cabal of Democrats has conspired to cause every national tragedy from Custer's Last Stand to 9/11... probably with the aid of Soros- funded cosmic radio neuro-transmitters.

And whats with the Oedipal attraction to Joe McCarthy?

Geeze...I get the willies just thinkin about her.

30. "Is Wesley Clark sane?"
It appears reminiscent of what they did to McCain in SC four years ago.

Now all they need to do is call him gay. These folks need a new act.

We play it different down here," one of Bush's top South Carolina advisors told Time magazine in February. "We're not dainty, if you get my drift. We're used to playin' rough."
