Gen McPeak calls out Pres Clinton

In addition to her dishonesty and resume-padding, which the media has given Hillary a free ride on, it's also time for them to get off their asses and call Hillary to account for her husband's un-American comments.

Enough is enough.  If Obama is required to answer for his pastor's comments over the past 30 years, then Hillary must answer for her husband's  inappropriate comments and behavior.  The Clintons are damaging the likely nominee of this party.  It's long past time for Hillary to get out of the race now.  Failing that, it's time to publicly shove the Clintons aside if needed, for the good of the party.

In brief remarks at the beginning of an Obama town hall meeting in Medford, Oregon, a little while ago, Gen Tony McPeak in no uncertain terms publicly called out the 42nd president of the US, Bill Clinton, for his remarks yesterday.

'These tactics have no place in American politics.'  It's time once and for all to stand up to the Clinton bullies.  The beginning of the town hall was carried live by Fox News, but not by CNN or MSNBC, although I'm sure they will broadcast the clip later today.

Gen McPeak read from a statement and said he was very disappointed in the former president for what he said.

I will post his full statement but for now here are a couple excerpts:

As one who for 37 years proudly wore the uniform of our country, I'm saddened to see a president employ these tactics. He of all people should know better because he was the target of exactly the same kind of tactics.

. . .

This has no place in American politics.  It had no place then  and it should have no place now.

I agree 110%.  I think - once again - Bill Clinton has crossed the line.  He and his wife are nothing more than an embarrassment to the Democratic Party now.  They are a two-headed walking punchline.

After McPeak's remarks, Obama observed that McPeak 'looks and sounds like Clint Eastwood' and that's what a general should look like, and if you misbehave you have to deal with him.

President Clinton today got a public rebuke from a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Really - How much more embarrassing can it get for the Clintons ?

P.S.  What about the inappropriateness of James Carville's comment today comparing Gov Richardson's endorsement of Obama to Judas' betrayal of Jesus ?  Will the Clintons be called on the carpet for such an inappopriate religious comment during Triduum, the 3 holiest days in the Christian world ?  Isn't Gov Richardson a Catholic, and how insulting this must be to him and his faith !  Imagine if Rev Wright had referred to the Clintons in such an insulting, inappropriate manner ! !
