Only needed to see Dick Cheney’s name in relatin to this to realize Who is responsible.
Cheney’s Crimes span 4 decades! No doubt Watergate was the least unlawful.
Reagan was Clearly an Alzheimers patient upon taking the oath after his first ‘win’. What’s better than having to manipualte a clinically paranoid to move your agenda forward, one who can’t remember the agenda. Next round, get a whimpy ass CIA Director in the Oval office.
Must have taken some effort to buy off the Clintons- endless sex surrogates, freeing Hillary from her wifely ‘duties’. Obviously owed her big for taking ‘One for the team’ all those years after her Goldwater assignment.
Then the finally ‘Kill shot’ get a Retard in Office. Not only intellectually stunted ,but emotionally deprave.
It must have pissed DickCo off when his perfect Manchurian was defeated by mass voter turn out. McCain is a perfect combination of All of the above-mentally unstable, senile,malable, ignorant, arrogant and blindly ambitious.
Cheney has been bedfellows with murderous dictators (Saddam), terroist Organizations (‘Afghani Freedom Fighters, aka AQ) and Corp Raiders and Robber Barons (Halliburton, KBR) for Decades.
In fact that recent Politco interview should be reviewed with a fine tooth comb to deterine if Subliminal messages were being conveyed to his proteges and minions.
DickCo has been covertly running this country for decades. His goal is to finally defeat US damned Unruly ‘Colonists’. DickCo may not operate for the ‘Family Crest’ but ceratinly proved he works for the Monarchy which bears a Logo.
Perfect analogy of the last 8 yrs- ‘Pinky & the Brain’- ‘What we gonna do today,Brain?’ ‘conquer the World, Pinky’

Shame on the NYT.

We realize subscriptions are down and no one is “buying what you’re selling”, but really…....

It does not take a genius to realize that CURRENTLY something hard-edged, gutsy and truthtelling would bring in “a buck or two”.

This is typical of the irrationality of conservative politics.

They worship, and reason is just a disguise that they hide behind.

For them, belief prevails in the end, and reason is only used to serve belief.

I’m sure right now, there are conservative writers somewhere working on books about how if Bush, hadn’t made a left turn somewhere, he would be remembered as a great president.

You just can’t talk someone out of their religion, or the insane out of their insanity.

I suspect this so called “historian” was inspired by Joe the Plumber. Yes, I bet he just woke up one morning and thought if Joe can do it, so can I. As for the NYT, I’m baffled.  It’s not like there is a shortage of news these days.

Americans have always had an unhealthy obsession with changing history. I don’t know how many times I have heard the comment that if Nixon had not got caught up in Watergate that he would have been considered a great president.

Bullshit

This was a beast that bombed cambodia, had countless thousands killed by his support of pro-american military juntas in central and south america, and had people killed to cover up his complicity in the watergate break in. But we forget that, all the while he was comitting attrocities on a world scale, he was representing us. Nixon was a shadowy reflection of us americans. Oh, we will look sad and send money and food overseas to poor nations, but we will never admit that is was our politcal meddling that has caused their poverty. Nixon was the perfect symbol of americana. A paranoid old codger, longing to go back to the good ol days that we never really had, all the while, cheating on our taxes and feeding chocolate to the neihbors dog.

Everything we are today we owe to Richard Nixon. And we freely elected this prick!

twice!

HUNTER THOMPSON - ON NIXON

Hunter Thompson said it first. And said it best.

“Richard Nixon was an evil man—evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him—except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship.”

“He (Nixon) had the fighting instinctsof a badger trapped by hounds. The badger will roll over on its back and emit a smell of death, which confuses the dogs and lures them in for the traditional ripping and tearing action. But it is usually the badger who does the ripping and tearing. It is a beast that fights best on its back: rolling under the throat of the enemy and seizing it by thehead with all four claws.”

“That was Nixon’s style—and if you forgot, he would kill you as a lesson to the others. Badgers don’t fight fair, bubba. That’s why God made dachshunds.”

NEOCONS

The Nixon White House was where the Neocons learned their skulduggery. Cheney, Rumsfeld etc. When you read Nixon, substitute Neocon, and it is as true today as when written.
