First the original version, then the new one. What’s different?
Gateway Pundit has a theory.

Maybe Vote Vets Action Fraud felt like too many parallels would be made between Josh and Kerry.

Josh Lansdale is a regular John Kerry in training!
When are these people going to realize that the days of being able to lie with impunity are over?

So now they are using frauds in their (exceptionally lame) ads … damn that foot must have a lot of bullet holes by now.
Good catch, hope this get around that McCaskill was giving a forum to this liar, as was the org. that paid for the Weasly Clark ad.
On a side note, how the f— did Clark ever rise to the rank of general?!?

Jesse MacBeth, is that you? You look much paler…..
We’ve been trying to out this assclown for a while now.

It lacks truthiness.
Seriously, is there anything with these people that isn’t fraudulent?
Tells you something when all they have is lies and deceit.
If they tell the truth, they cannot win.

Last weekend on CSPAN they had one of the founders of IVAW,(Iraqi Veterans Against the War) who was ex Army, supply type guy, General Discharge Conscientious Objector, on and a Marine who supported our actions in Irak. I tried real hard to call in but couldn’t get through. Anyway that asswipe would constantly refer to all of those debunked studies, and the Marine to his credit didn’t let him get by with it. The Marine never once disparaged the guy even given his checkered service record which makes him a bigger man then me.

They cant find any non-fraudulent military persons to back them, their top pick for President is mouth-duct tapped & in a closet somewhere, Pelosi is locked in some garage or in hiding (probably with duct tape) also, their past top choice for V.P. is , well they threw him out, and now he’s beating their new choice.
And these nitwits want to make big governmental decisions for our country? No -friggin way.

Wow! I’m speechless. Clark is a runt with a capitol “C”.

Because of Iraq, and halfbright, and Clinton, Iraq ALMOST HAD nuclear weapons. Because of Champaigne Mad, Korea might have nukes.
Because of Bush, Saddam will NEVER have Nuclear weapons, nor will his two wonderful boys.

Everytime I see Clark I think of Alexander Haig….’I am in charge here in the White House….’

The truth is, once you start playing around with stars on your collar, things start to get a lot more political, and a lot less of a meritocracy. Please don’t anyone hold this fact against the vast majority of us who properly did our duty. Wes Clark is a tool, and he was Clinton’s tool, kinda like that cigar.

We better nuke them before they nuke us…wonder what I would say if I ever see clarqdumn in an officers club somewhere…interesting…
areseaoh on November 3, 2006 at 4:15 PM
Yeah, that’s true, I saw similar things in the Navy. But dayum, Clark has that extra dose of idiocy that really makes you wonder, regardless of whether you’ve been in the military or not.

Gonna stick my neck out here for a moment: from what I’ve read, Gen. Clark wasn’t too bad of a guy while still in uniform. He IS a total assclown (love that term) as a politico, but he managed to win the respect of the late Col. David Hackworth, something not easily done by all accounts. Still, it’s pretty ameatureish that they didn’t even bother to check the credentials of the folks in the ad before running it. Still, they ARE political hacks. I don’t tend to have a lot of respect for the intelligence of THAT particular breed, whatever the affiliation. And the premise is, of course, just silly. It’s like saying because the USSR is gone, we now have Hugo Chavez and Kim Jong Il to contend with along with all the other second-rate tyrants who floated to the top of the bowl after the fall of communism. What a joke. Hussein is a monster, his sons WERE monsters, and the world will be a better place when his feet come to rest several inches above the ground. You want to blame the influx of terrorist into Iraq on someone? Blame Iran, Syria, Saudi and all the other usual suspects. THEY’RE the ones funding the whole deal, formally or otherwise, supplying bodies and weapons, and keeping the whole secterian hornets’ nest stirred up!
Okay, I’m done. Sorry if I bored anyone with the soapbox, it’s going back into it’s closet now.

Just another example of the dems exploiting “victims”. Grab Michael J. Fox and exploit him. Grab Cindy Sheehan and exploit her. Use Paul Wellstones funeral as a campaign rally. Now, let’s take vets, some wounded, and use them in an ad blaming a foreign policy decision for an idealogy of hate. The dems have also been proudly extolling the virtues of their foreign policy by pointing to the number of Iraq War vets running for office…..”see, we’re strong on defense”. Just one problem….all are opposed to the war in Iraq, which is the war on terror whether you like it or not. It’s true a dem never met a tax they didn’t “hike” and is equally true they’ve never met a victim they didn’t exploit…………

Not hardly ever done for that matter.
What matters is that both parties are basically using the attack ads and fear tactics instead of highlighting their true qualifications as to why we should actually waste a vote on them!
Or perhaps they are worried that if they were to try that we wouldn’t understand…
Talk about a bunch of condecendingly arrogant elitist twits!
For real change – Vote for Josh Jennings and….Rock the House (of Representatives)! :)
