Clark Praises 400 lb Unshaven, Unbathed Communist Michael Moore!
Eight days after his most prominent supporter falsely accused President
Bush of being a military "deserter," Gen. Wesley Clark again declined
an opportunity to condemn the bogus charge, maintaining, as he has
since Thursday, that he hasn't examined the allegation.
Asked Sunday whether he knew of "any evidence" to support the
accusation leveled by radical filmmaker Michael Moore, who called
President Bush "a deserter" last Saturday as Clark looked on, the
former NATO commander told "Meet the Press," "Well, I've never looked
into those ... those allegations."
Clark's protestations of ignorance come despite the fact that the
Boston Globe, the newspaper that originally reported that Bush had
missed a full year of National Guard service in the 1970s, said Friday:
"News reports, including some in the Globe, have questioned Bush's
constancy as a National Guard airman at the time, but he has not been
credibly accused of desertion, a serious charge. Clark should have
distanced himself from the remark."
Moore still cites the original May 2000 Globe report on his Web site to
defend his Bush "desertion" charge, though the New York Times
discovered later that year that the Globe missed evidence that proved
its original report was false.
Still, despite his key backer's disingenuousness, Gen. Clark told "Meet
the Press," "I will tell you this about Michael Moore. I think he's a
man of conscience. I think he's done a lot of great things for ordinary
people,
working people across America. And I'm very happy to have his support."
Ever since the Moore flap erupted after Thursday night's debate, Gen.
Clark's support in the New Hampshire primary has been dropping like a
rock, plummeting 9 points in just three days, according to a Gallup
survey released Saturday.
