As if Clark couldn't try harder to be the anti-Dean son of the South, after saying he wouldn't but then again would sign the Iraq war resolution, cheering Bush when convenient, offering moderate to increasingly vehement criticism of the planning and lack of planning once the war-coverage was on. Now we learn he's perfectly fine with gays in the military because "when they ackowledge who they are, they leave. I'm very comfortable with that." Finally, we discover that Clark strongly favors a constitutional ammendment banning the burning of our flag.
Am I wrong or doesn't equation of symbol with meaning of symbol, or the taking of fantasy for reality, come into play here?
(Clark: ...there are who serve in the armed forces. And they do a very good job. But when they are -- when they acknowledge who they are and their sexual preference, they leave. SO I'VE GOT A VERY GOOD COMFORT LEVEL WITH THAT.")
I urge any supporter of Clark to demand a clarification on these inferences. So what happens when a fellow soldier "outs" his buddies? Or an officer outside his unit, on off-duty? Now here's an issue that requires stomach and balls. -jtanke.
