Richard Nixon’s Revenge
The American Conservative Magazine, by Pat Buchanan

http://www.amconmag.com/2005_02_14/buchanan.html

"The hired hands CBS picked to investigate its “60 Minutes” debacle may deny it till the cows come home. But liberal bias ruined the career of Dan Rather—and CBS News. The CBS of Walter Cronkite’s salad days is gone. And the beginning of the fall of network news can be traced to that era, right down to the day and month."

Great sentence at the end of the article about how the gun exploded in the face of Dan Rather as he tried to bring down GWB.

So, what was accomplished with their deceit. History will prove that President Nixon was a surperior man as is President Bush. Rather and et'all need to get over themselves.

I wish my parents were alive to see this day. It's their revenge also.

Nixon had that crazy war won if Cronkite hadn't put his opinion out there. I really think that the socialists took Nixon down for being too good at calling them out.

The alleged treasonous/treacherous remarks made by the Fifth Column, or the Enemy within the USA by kronk-not-wound-so-tite, and hanoi heinz kerry kept the war with Vietnam going on longer than needed, caused more lives to be lost, as the VC general wrote in his book, about the tet offensive, rather than let President Nixons ideas work. We had the War won, but kronktite couldn't let that happen, so he aided/abetted the enemy, as blather-memo-gate tried with his forged documents. Fortunately blather is too small a male, as is the other two above mentioned.

"Now, millions of Americans have favorite websites and blogs they read before even picking up the morning paper or tuning in to Katie Couric."

Nope, canceled my paper two years ago. Read Lucianne and Drudge instead. And it's not Katie. It's Fox and Friends with E.D. If I watch a blonde on the news, I want one with brains, not a bimette like Katie.

#7, I'm already snickering watching the long slow painful death process of the ancient beauty queen known as rather (with a small 'r'). Too bad the other ones didn't get a come- uppance as well (you listenin' Cronkite?).

The corruption, sleaze, indictments, perjury and treason, not to mention the periodic untimely deaths, of the Clinton Administration, the effects of which continue to this day, make the Nixon "scandals" seem quaint.

Note to liberal buffoons: Nixon didn't even know about, much less authorize, the Watergate break-in. Ask John Dean about that. Better yet, ask his wife about the notebook...

This is so much fun,makes up for all the years when I was the only guy my age who A. voted for Nixon and B. was NOT at Woodstock.

Gosh, how I love this! Pat, you made my day! I emailed this to a bunch of friends. I'm one of those who just cried when Nixon resigned....actually I became physically ill in 1960 when he lost (thanks to ghost voters) to JFK! This article is a keeper!

Dear Dan. Parting is such SWEET sorrow.

Hope you have a miserable retirement with your old friend Walter 'Commie Crankcase.'

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Superior to what?

[leesa]

12. Maybe they are referring to the Superman Nietzsche wrote about and

the Nazis co-opted

[WI_DEM]

2. Nixon was a superior president compared to Bush

but that isn't saying much. As human beings I think they are two peas in a pod.

[Vanje]

4. Nixon

Nixon was a scrotum-biting bastard son of a bitch motherfucker

But G.W. Bush is worst.

GW Bush makes me ashamed to be American.

[cliss]

6. History will show........

that George Bush was a pile of warm dog crap laying on the floor of the Oval Office. He will have NO redeeming qualities. None. His coterie of clowns will be flushed down the toilet of history where they belong.

He will be seen as an "aberration", a "colossal error" on the part of the American people, who will simultaneously be scrutinized along with this Court Jester.

Before the US economy crashes, that is, along with the world economy which is tied in with ours, like it or not.

He will have the honor of being the one who drove this country over the cliff. Yeah, we were doing a lot of things wrong. This guy finished it off quickly. No sense in trying to figure out solutions to all these problems; pollution, overpopulation, dependence on foreign oil, corporate greed and unethical behavior.

Why wait? This guy will finish us off.

He'll be named "The Terminator"

[gratuitous]

3. History seems to be taking its sweet time on Nixon

The mean-spirited tiny little drunkard of a man who aspired to a position that he wasn't qualified for and couldn't handle when he got there.

I have yet to see any historical evidence that would budge me off that verdict.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

5. Did any of these people graduate from school? It's

like being on a different planet listening to their distortion of reality. If they must hold onto their physical reality with such passion, they must realize that their spiritual reality may be less than they hoped for, and more than they bargained for.

I mean, what do they think if and when they read the truth? It's a mistake?

Cronkite wrote it so it must be a fabrication? WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE RIGHT AT ANY COST? How many must suffer so that their corporations can rule the world?? Anybody seen the keys to the beemer?? I can't find the keys to the beemer..... oh, they're in the jag, nevermind.

Iran / Contra Rehab
by David Corn
The Nation magazine, March 11, 2002
>>The Bush Administration is turning into one big rehab center for the Iran/contra schemers of the Reagan/Bush White House. The latest case involves retired Adm. John Poindexter, who's been hired by the Pentagon to head a new agency, the Information Awareness Office. Created after September I 1 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, it is developing high-tech systems to provide government officials immediate access to new surveillance and information-analysis systems. Its focus, of course, includes terrorist groups.
Poindexter certainly has extensive experience dealing with terrorists. As Ronald Reagan's National Security Adviser, he was a key mover in the Iran/contra scandal of the 1980s, when the Reagan White House tried to pull off a secret arms-for-hostages deal with the terrorist-supporting regime of Iran. Poindexter also was one of the few Reagan officials who, according to the available evidence, knew that proceeds from the arguably illicit arms sales to Iran were diverted to the Nicaraguan contras. He later testified that he had deliberately withheld information from Reagan on the diversion because "I wanted the President to have some deniability so that he would be protected."<<

[iwantmycountryback]

7. Superior man compared to who? Ayatollah Khomeini?

[nolabels]

22. Ayatollah Khomeini lost that round in the comparison

I wouldn't know if Ayatollah Khomeini intended to kill millions in his dictates, but was none the less unable to. Nixon was able to dictate that and mostly made it happen. I don't need to blinded by any propaganda or cultural precepts. When I compare apples to apples I get Nixon, Stalin and Hitler playing in the same ball park.

[SOS]

8. And remember

that the US disaster in Vietnam was the fault of Walter Cronkite.
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Kissinger, McNamara and Westmoreland had nothing to do with the outcome. They were helpless to act intelligently because Walter Cronkite was on the air.

[dflprincess]

9. Once again, the Freepers have it wrong.

"Reply 6 - Posted by: ChicagoWilson, 2/5/2005 9:46:02 AM

Cronkite came out against the war while Johnson was still president. LBJ has been quoted as saying that if he'd "lost" Cronkite, he'd lost America.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. All I know is republicans love

to re-write history and be seen as hero's. Nixon was such a bad President. The thing they have in common is both of them got into office after two democrats gave them the best and they ruined it.

[Wrinkle_In_Time]

10. Since Hunter S. Thompson made the statement...

Richard Nixon looks like a flaming liberal today, compared to a golem like George Bush. Indeed. Where is Richard Nixon now that we finally need him?

... in this Rolling Stone article, I think it is safe to consider Nixon as being superior to pResident Bush** (considering that HST really hated Nixon).

[Contrary1]

11. Geez...if they consider Shrub and Nixon to be "superior"...

how inferior must they be? Morans.

[kodi]

13. Idiot doesn't even know what the term "salad days" means

The CBS of Cronkite's "salad days" was the time of WWII and Edward R Murrow. If Buchanan believes that the "beginning of the fall of network news can be traced to that era, then he believes that the world class journalism of CBS and its concomitant commitment to quality, fairness, and the investigative journalism it carried out caused its demise. In other words, he believes journalistic integrity caused the ruin of CBS.

According to Buchanan, the journalistic integrity of CBS as seen by programs such as Murrow's "Harvest of Shame" are exhibits of "liberal bias.

What a maroon.

[zulchzulu]

14. Reading that was like staring at roadkill too long

To think revisionists would attempt to make Nixon anything less that a lying crook...although he is better than the Chimp. That's like saying pig shit is better than dog shit.

[NoFederales]

16. Uh, well, pig shit actually has redeeming

qualities as fertilizer and as methane gas producer whereas dog shit is, well, just dog shit--useless, just like * and his misanthropic minions.:thumbsup:

NoFederales

[cire4]

15. The blonde on Faux and Friends has brains?

Coulda fooled me...

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Love the "et'all" .......... n/t

[ClassWarrior]

18. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I wanna see them try...

...to ride that ass to the bank!!

<LOLOLOLOL>

NGU.

[Cha]

19. nixon is superior to bush but

then so is a slug.

[calimary]

21. I think there's a typo there.

Should be "History will prove that Nixon was a surperior man TO Pres. Bush"

And I actually agree on this one. bush makes Genghis Khan look like the Easter Bunny.

[LittleClarkie]

23. Nixon's Revenge my ass

History will prove Nixon a superior man TO Bush. Bush and Co. are worse than Watergate, according to John Dean. At at least Nixon understood foreign policy. Hell, at least Nixon had half a brain or more. Nixon actually understood diplomacy.

One of the staunchest Bush supporters I know thinks that Bush will turn out to have been the best prez ever, and that Nixon was "a pussy."

Nixon was actually to liberal for the conservatives in Congress. That's one of the reasons they turned on him.

I protest on behalf of Nixon's memory. I'd have voted for him over this mess. Hell, I'd have CAMPAIGNED for him over this mess. Bush is way out of Nixon's league.

[justiceischeap]

24. I think it's funny

They are comparing Bush to an impeached president and a president surrounded by the Contra scandals in his last days.

Is this their subconscience at work or are they really that dumb?
