Clark states facts - the repugs are outraged!

Clark: McCain a hero, but lacks command experience

WASHINGTON - Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate now supporting Barack Obama, said Sunday John McCain's military service does not automatically qualify him to be commander in chief.

Underscoring during a national television appearance a position he has been expressing for several weeks, Clark said performing heroic military service is not a substitute for gaining command experience.

"If Barack Obama's campaign wants to question John McCain's military service, that's their right," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said after Clark's appearance Sunday. "But let's please drop the pretense that Barack Obama stands for a new type of politics. The reality is he's proving to be a typical politician who is willing to say anything to get elected, including allowing his campaign surrogates to demean and attack John McCain's military service record."

I find it beyond ironic that the repugs who supported the Swift Boat liars that fabricated wild, untrue stories about John Kerry's service are now "outraged" that Gen. Clark is calling McCain a hero! If calling someone a hero is a way to "demean and attack" someone, the repugs are even crazier than i thought!
