Ramsey Clark: Still crazy after all these years

Former Attorney General of the Unites States Ramsey Clark, who must be at least 806 years old, is still alive, and still a loon.

Clark served under Lyndon Johnson. After LBJ left office, Clark quickly undistinguished himself as a virulent anti-Vietnam war protester, then hooked up with the nuclear freeze movement, the anti-cruise missile crusade, and then firmly planted himself in the dirt by serving on the defense team of Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein.

From The Hindu:

The former U.S. Attorney-General, Ramsey Clark, on Saturday announced plans for the formation of a new organisation – the "International Anti-Imperialist and People’s Solidarity Co-ordinating Committee (IAPSCC)."

How do they fit that on a t-shirt?

More..

The new body will forge a combined worldwide struggle against imperialist aggression, occupation and the evils of globalization.

Addressing a press conference here on the conclusion of a two-day international anti-imperialist conference, he said that with the participation of 1,500 delegates from India and abroad the conference was a huge success. "It is unthinkable in the United States."

Really? What do you mean by that statement, counselor?

And in conclusion...

The conference also adopted several resolutions, including one opposing the India-U.S. nuclear deal. It called upon the Indian people to struggle not only against the U.S. imperialist machinations, but also against imperialist cravings and designs of the Indian state.

Besides the Kashmir dispute, I'm not--and I'm using the term very loosely here--aware of any "imperialist cravings" of India.

But just like the word "fascist," the word "imperialist" has been mangled into meaninglessness by the Left.
