I had just turned 16 years old when the marathon interviews entered our living room. Nixon, I thought, would be the worst president in my lifetime. How could he not be? His list of offenses seemed endless: sending young men and women to their deaths in an useless war, justified by cooked claims of impending victory; getting the IRS to audit those on an enemies list of political opponents and uncooperative journalists; asserting executive privilege in order to cover his own lawbreaking; employing dirty tricks to gain and hold power. It all was so beyond the pale, I naively thought that no American president would ever again come close to such official depravity.

I'm remembering that Nixon was responsible for ending the Kennedy/Johnson war in Vietnam. I also remember that while Nixon had spoken and wished that he could audit his political enemies, he never did. Only the impeached former president clinton was so brazen to have accomplished that corrupting act.
Where’s the Mega-Barf alert?
Wonder what color the sky is in Robyn’s world.
I see that Robyn with a “y” has a government school education.
Somehow, Robyn seems to have missed the administrations of LBJ, Carter, and Clinton; smoking too much dope, I guess.
Maybe he’s going for the Walter Duranty Award for truth in journalism?
Here's a radical thought: If we stop obsessing on race, people may actually become colorblind
By Robyn Blumner
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- WHEN SCIENTISTS working on mapping the human genome were asked how they chose their human subject, they said it didn't matter who it was since genetically people are 99.9 percent alike.
Funny, with so much in common we do tend to harp on our differences, especially when it comes to race. President Bill Clinton may have tried to start a national dialogue on race to bridge this chasm, but, as is typical with this subject, the conversation quickly became a lecture and pretty soon no one was listening anyway.
Many people of good will think the racial divide in this country is something we have to talk about if we're going to come to any resolution. But I think the opposite might be true. Maybe by casting everything in racial terms we are just exacerbating the problem, creating a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe racial unity would come more easily if we stopped talking about race. And not only stopped talking about it, but stopped paying it any mind at all - stopped tracking it, studying it or categorizing people by it....
It would seem she's not a total idiot. Or, maybe she has succumbed to the media pressure.
From her paper’s website:”Blumner began her professional career as a legal associate in a New York law firm researching issues in corporate tax, bankruptcy, estate and labor law. She briefly worked as a ghostwriter for a labor arbitrator, and then joined the Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority as assistant director of labor relations. In 1987, Blumner became executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah. She took over the directorship of the ACLU of Florida in 1987. As a sideline, in 1992 she began writing a monthly column on current events, social trends and civil rights with XS Magazine, based in Fort Lauderdale.

Unattractive women are usually left wing radicals.
The words “stopped clock” come to mind.
Welcome to this issue of “Harper’s Advertiser”
In this weeks cover story, Ad Copy writer Robyn Blumner scores big for client DNC with a great negative association piece. Folks this puts marketing industries top award, the coveted Pulitzer, within reach. Full story on pg. 33.
The Reproductive Freedom Network? Boy, now there’s a euphemism for you.
Having graduated from law school Ms. Blummer has been taught that all truth is relative to the outcome desired. Her affiliation with ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project indicates her allegiance to the left. I usually try to avoid getting personal about people’s looks. But please note the vacant stare and the tight smile that many ignorent and deceptive people project. Ms. Blummer could not tell the truth if her life depended on it.
Some things never change.
We hold this barf-alert to be self evident...
The only bone of contention I had with Nixon was the Cambodian incursion. We finally had a president that would take off the gloves and let us finally go attack the enemy in his sanctuaries. Too bad he didn´t have the political balls to let us do it right.
His mistake was telling the world we were only going in 25 kms and staying for 30 days. That let the enemy know all he had to do was pull back 30 kms and wait us out. We lost the opportunity to win the war then.
Now we have the dem wits trying to do the same garbage in Iraq with talk of time tables and withdrawals. Other than that I liked Nixon and I don´t believe GW will be looked at as our worst president by future generations.
Leftwing lesbo whacky lib!
