is former gen. wesley clark a war criminal? if he is, are the folks at dkos smart enough to accept it? or, are the bad ole days of the dean vs. clark ratings flame wars returning to dkos?
well, it seems that like the bad ole days have returned.
a comment i made about clark being a suspected war criminal instantly disappeared last night. and then, a whole slew of comments i made were given zero ratings. someone is apparently too chicken to show their face. another person wrote that comments about clark being a potential war criminal was a bunch of rightwing propaganda. well, as mykel board used to say in maximum rock 'n roll - "you're wrong!"
here is the ever loving leftwing - hardly rightwing - counterspin boys reporting the facts about clark's potential war criminal status:
"meet the real gen. clark" - http://www.counterpunch.org/clark.html
if you do a google of "clark, war criminal," you will get a whole bunch of other stuff on clark's background.
and, it was also mentioned extensively in joshua frank's great new book, "left out," of which i promote in my signature.
one of the neat improvements at dkos is the fact that the ability to rate comments stops as comments and diaries age. this is great: it keeps some of these bozos from troll-rating in a carpet bomb format, which eventually leads to banned accounts, i am told.
but the bigger question is, when are the readers and diarists at dkos going to fucking grow up? one of the reasons my comments were troll-rated was because one guy cried like a baby 'people did it to me ...' like that is some reason?
personally, i don't like to hand out 1s. i think that 2s are fine. and, i don't want to get in a juvenile troll war with folks. but, i do have a few other messages:
steelman: grow up you fucking buffoon!
knowthings: grow up you fucking buffoon!
troll-rater: grow up you fucking buffoon!
nuff said. good night.
update:
thanks for all your comments. i'm not in the mood for getting troll-bombed out of existence so i won't comment beyond the diary for tonight.
armando: grow up. you're a front-pager. you should have better etiquette. you don't know a damn thing about me.
mblaxill: i love your band! :-) "pink sky" and "running past rosetta" are a couple of my fave songs by you guys. when is the new cd coming out?
however, you should do more reading: clark is a war criminal. he was praising bush and cheney and rumsfeld and rice and powell at a gop fundraiser in arkansas just a few months before deciding to run for president as the "michael moore" democrat. the guy is a hypocrite and a liar.
