One of the losers in the weekend oratorical marathon was retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who repeatedly invoked the West Point motto of 'Duty, Honor, Country,' forgetting that few in this particular audience have much experience with, or sympathy for, the military.
That's just a boldfaced lie by Broder, no two ways about it. I happened to be in attendance at the speech in question, just a stone's throw away from General Clark when he gave it. What David Broder is saying here is an absolute lie. The crowd in attendance stood on their feet, clapped their hands loudly and strongly time and time again when speakers - including Gen. Clark - invoked the service and sacrifice of America's fighting men and women..."
Broder's comment makes me sputter. It is such an outrageous lie I don't even know exactly how to begin jumping on it. I'd like to compare family military pedigrees with this jackass but I don't won't to waste my time dissecting such nonsense. The rest of the post calls Broder out on a few items-- there are many to complain about. Read here.
