Here is what Wes Clark really meant on Chris Matthews about Gays!
Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 09:52 PM by Quixote1818
An earlier post called Wes Clark an idiot http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=2674491&mesg_id=2674491

and inferred he was going over to the Dark side. In reality he did not get to finish his answer on the Chris Matthews Show and had he, the answer would have looked like what you see below where he brings up the EXACT same statement he brought up on the Chris Matthews Show.


From the New York Times:

Earlier Monday, at a commemorative service at Zion Baptist Church in Columbia, the Rev. Dr. Sheila B. Koger delivered a fiery sermon about equal rights and Dr. King — and also took a shot at homosexuality. "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," Dr. Koger said to applause from some of the several hundred people attending.

General Clark, who sat through the sermon, later told reporters: "I don't support those views. I believe we have to have equal rights for every American regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation or any other discrimination."

The credit for this goes to Frenche Cat not me:

3. He's always taken that position
Equal rights under the law for everyone. It was his mantra on this issue during his entire campaign.

4. I'll grant you that Tweety cut Clark short

5. Coz you know that Democrats hate to win....
so of course, many will try to tear him down during the '08 primaries.....

My saying: Give a knife to a Republican and he will poke you with it...
Give that same knife to a Democrat and he will cut his own throat and ask "why am I bleeding"!
