McCain on Clark Comment: "That Kind of Thing is Unnecessary"

[JoHolland92]

spending millions on adds that take low blows on obama doesnt help anyone ether..

[WashMitt]

The only thing being a POW for 5 years in Vietnam prepares a person for is psychiatric counseling.

Gen. Wesley Clark is telling the truth and McCain is just trying to holdup his military experience on shaky grounds as the ONLY qualification for being president. It's not. Otherwise every vet that was a prisoner of war automatically becomes president.

[bryannforClark]

Sen.McCain I honor and deeply respect your sacrifice and courage to served in the Armed Forces and in the Vietnam War.

What Gen.Clark to whom I served under was and is trying to convey here is your judgment in supporting the very unnecessary WAR that is THE IRAQ WAR. PLS. all the keyboard commandos here don't overreact and feel that McCain is being swiftboated, if what Gen.Clark did was Swiftboating then it was a fucking lame one, as he Gen.Clark gave the most laudable praise to Sen.McCain.

THIS IS BS. clark didnt make the comment mccain is claiming he did. the old fart interviewing him said it and the media ran with it.

[hatsikidope]

mccain speaks so awkwardly.

[newmac]

I once totaled the car; does that make me qualified to be President?

[sguardian870]

ok I dont know if im missing some thing here but if obama not having war experience should be a problem in him being president. then what is the big fuss. because mccain was not part of the war he was just flying around and got shut down he didnt actually do anything apart from be torture which is a brave thing but he is not the first person to have that done so does that mean that every person who is tortured should be president. the ppl in iraq have done more than him should they be leaders

[chrisclub]

Bush and the Republicans have put this country into a nose dive, we need someone who can pull up, not someone who crashes planes.

[gundalowman]

It seems to me that most of the anger is expressed by those writing in with disparaging comments about Senator McCain. McCain is calm and fully understanding that Obama is using surrogates to do the dirty work for him.

[jamminjimmie]

Obama is so toast.

[washmytoes]

how so?

[asdffd]

crazy old angry man

[lamouchemorte]

Flag pins do not fix all of those problems he mentioned either.

[JimboTHC]

Look at him he is seething with rage. This man has anger issues.

[nyrangerfan1]

oddly enough, all of those things that wes clark's comment doesn't help, aren't helped by mccain's policies either...

[jastheswift2]

i like how you didn't address the content of my comment and how you assumed that i support obama-both mccain and obama are puppets. you don't know how to defend mccain, so instead you rail about muslims and islam, or bring up others' faults. you can do better than that.

[grazon]

Funny how so many skip what Schieffer said just before Clark's statement:

SCHIEFFER: I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. I mean --

CLARK: Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.

Clark was simply refuting what Schieffer said.

And frankly no being shot down is not a good thing.

[jastheswift2]

what you have written doesn't diminish the fact that mccain was an awful pilot who crashed several jets. what makes you think that mccain can pilot the country safely?

[jaekent]

McCain is a joke and an old loser. Any change offered by the Democrats is better then what McCain and the Republicans have in store for the people and the country.

[osiris33]

Clearly this is the media instigating this conflict of war heroes... c'mon TPMtv...

[osiris33]

Clark did not say that about McCain... Bob Scheiffer did.
