Why the right wing and the media swiftboated General Wesley Clark

Because he's one of the best things the Democratic party has - a general who is on our side. A general who was the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. What the Republicans know, and we always manage to forget, is that they always go for our strengths. John Kerry is a war hero? Then attack his war record. George Soros is funding Democratic advocacy, then demonize Soros. MoveOn has become a major fundraiser and activist resource for Democrats, then make MoveOn a bad word in the Democratic party. The blogs have become a powerful left-wing noise machine, then demonize and marginalize the blogs.

They always target our strengths. And our problem? We always let them. It's time we stopped shoving our best assets to the side, and started using them. And here, without further ado, is the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, General Wesley Clark.
