General Wesley Clark and Sen. John McCain
June 30th, 2008 by Larry Bellinger Posted in PoliticsMcCain hires a SwiftBoat vet to defend him against… what?
Wes Clark was on “Face the Nation” yesterday and said the fact that McCain was shot down doesn’t qualify him to be Commander-in-Chief. Of course the inevitable “media firestorm” has followed. My question is: “What is the BFD?” Just because my boy McCain (Whom I happened to like and respect a lot until he handed his balls to GWB and Co. during the 2000 campaign) got shot down and captured doesn’t make him a “hero.” Where is the fallacy in Clark’s statement? Clark didn’t impugn McCain’s character or patriotism he just said getting shot down doesn’t qualify him to be president.
