From MoveOn.org, the organization belatedly criticized by Barack Obama yesterday:
On Sunday, General Wesley Clark spoke honestly and bluntly about what it takes to be Commander in Chief. He said that while Senator John McCain’s service made him a hero to millions, including Clark himself, McCain’s experience doesn’t trump the poor judgment that he’s shown on some of the most important issues in recent years.
What General Clark said was right, but the media has been in an uproar—twisting his words and accusing him of saying things he didn’t say. (You can read Clark’s actual words in the P.S. below). CNN even went so far as to accuse Clark of “swift boating” McCain.
When the media distorts the facts on important issues like this, it has serious consequences. Can you sign this petition supporting General Clark and tell the media to stop distorting his comments?
The petition reads:
The American people deserve the truth—not sensational reporting. The media has consistently twisted General Clark’s words. In fact, General Clark said he respects John McCain’s service, but that McCain’s experience doesn’t automatically give him the judgment to be Commander in Chief. The media must stop distorting Clark’s statement.
