Ramsey Clark Plans 'Emergency March' to Stop Israel
2006-07-31
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, alongside various anti-war and Muslim groups, announced plans this week for a "National Emergency March on Washington" to stop what he said was U.S. funding of the "Israeli war machine." Clark claimed that U.S. funding to Israel, which is battling Hizballah terrorists in southern Lebanon, is grounds for impeaching President Bush.
Isn't everything?
"If we'd acted on impeachment before now, Lebanon wouldn't be subjected to this misery," said Clark at the National Press Club Thursday. "If we fail to act now, who is next?"
Syria, I'd guess. Could be Iran or North Korea. I doubt if it'll be Sudan.
“If we'd acted on impeachment before now, Lebanon wouldn't be subjected to this misery...”
The National Council of Arab-Americans, Partnership for Civil Justice, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, and the ANSWER Coalition are partnering to show their dissent of U.S.-Israeli policy in a march planned near the White House on Aug. 12. "It is important to let the people of Lebanon and the people of Palestine know that even though the Bush administration speaks in our name -- spending our tax dollars to fund and finance these wars both in Iraq and in Lebanon -- it does so without the consent of the American people," said Brian Becker, national coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition.

#12  Clark is such a limp di*k. No spine either. He is always on the wrong side. He is among the hate America crowd.

#11  Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll march off a short pier.

#10  John, that is a great story for a couple of reasons. First, LBJ was a known ego tripper. he really thought he was great. He was legacy building when president as egomaniacs are want to do. Wouldn't his legacy look great with a black Supreme ? Wow, you go LBJ.
What a jerk. How do we remember this dog abuser ? He faked the start of the Vietnam war, then he sent millions of Americans to fight with one arm tied behind their backs.
LBJ's legacy: dirty politician who may have had something to do with the murder of JFK, started a war for his own uses, picked up his dog by it's ears, and held briefings with staff members while he was taking a dump to belittle his staff.
No lie, folks, this jerk was the turning point for the democrap party. Did Billy Clinton fall far from the tree ?
Second, the democraps still use the LBJ playbook.
They still have no use for honesty, honor, God, private property, our military, and dogs.

#9  Clark was AG in the mid-sixties when LBJ wanted a liberal to advance the Civil Rights legislation.

Actually (and the phone tapes of this were released recently - fascinating stuff - LBJ was a true political animal) what LBJ wanted was not Ramsey Clark.

He wanted a black Supreme Court Justice - Thurgood Marshall.
There were no upcoming vacancies but Ramsey's father, a former AG, was a justice.

LBJ schemed with his cronies, thinking of ways to get a supreme Court vacancy. Finally he saw a way - Ramsey.

He called Ramsey several times on the phone:

"Clark, you're a good man, I really want you in my administration"

"Clark, I've been thinking, you would make a good attorney General"

"Clark, one problem, if you're arguing cases before the supreme Court, folk are gonna attack your daddy, saying his little boy is before him and there is a conflict of interest and I appointed you because of that, trying to influence your daddy."

Clark Senior retired from the Bench to allow his son to take up the job of AG.

LBJ got his black supreme court justice

#5  Good democrat, good boy.
(what an asshole)
I wonder how many Jews will still be democrats after this march bullsheet ?
The left can't seem to read the signs of the times. As their cause looses momentum and the few good, well meaning lefties fall by the wayside, may we welcome them into the 21st century. It's great to shake off the yoke of stupid dogma in favor of facts and actions.

#3  Dear Ramsey:

Please dress like Rachel Corrie and stand in front of a D-9.

#2  Ouch! I meant Melvin Laird (capable Defense Security), and not Dean Rusk.

#1  Clark was AG in the mid-sixties when LBJ wanted a liberal to advance the Civil Rights legislation. Clark was a one-trick pony, whose public career was unimpressive. I recall his humiliation when Dean Rusk presented him with photos of NVA anti-aircraft placements, positioned by the irrigation dikes that Clark accused the USAF of bombing, to force starvation. Once a liar, always a liar.
