Have the radical ideas of machete-wielding Wes Junior infected his General father and should The Young Turks be implicated by association?  Was Wes Senior really in Austin, speaking to web-socialists at Netroots Nation?

He was

Here is the transcript of General Clark's speech yesterday at Netroots Nation (vids not out yet)

He mentions a young woman Democrat running for Congress in Washington state--Darcy Burner.  After a fire destroyed Darcy's home a few weeks ago, General Clark immediately put out an email asking for support for Darcy's family and campaign.  Darcy has been a strong opponent of telecom immunity and is very worthy of support from anyone in the Pacific Northwest.  I think it is awesome that General Clark has her back.

Darcy Burner (none / 0)
How ironic is that last name? I know, I'm a bad guy. Actually I saw her picture (with the "</war>" tshirt) on kos last week or so. I hope they raised a lot of money for her.

ActBlue's Darcy site (none / 0)

Shows her at almost $400k of donations, with a little over $90,000 from Orange to Blue (Daily Kos-related donations) alone.  Gives me the warm fuzzies to see people help like that.

It's crazy about her name, for sure.  I have a hard time imagining losing my house and everything I own in a fire, but imagine having to carry on a campaign as well. And be a mom to a five-year-old. 

I wonder where her connection with Wes Clark came from.  I can only guess he is one of the endorsers of the plan she presented called "A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq."

She's down in Austin too.  I just watched Gore's surprise appearance online.
