"Who would have guessed that just a few months into his second term, President Obama would be compared to Tricky Dick."

There's little comparison as Nixon would probably be the much smaller ethical-liberal fraction of comrade obama.

“... if we impeach him he will become a political martyr.”

If conservatives look at him/her cross-eyed, he’s a political martyr.

I don’t think we can impeach him/her...I think we should ramp up investigations into Valerie Jarrett-—take Bath-House Barry out of the spotlight and he’ll cry. He’s a pathological narcissist—I wanna see him/her throw a tantrum at the loss of the limelight for a time...and it won’t take long.

Then they came for the AP and members of the press, and there was no one left to speak for us.

What is that, sarcasm? Irony? When did the MSM ever speak for us?

Nixon said “I am not a crook” - he was...

Upon what facts do you base this assertion?

I do not recall any fact based charges of Nixon being a crook.
The charges leveled against him had to do with the Watergate cover up and various abuses of power but nothing about him being a crook.

It was an unfounded aspersion tossed around by his enemies, much like the canard about Sarah Palin saying she can see Russia from her house.

You can read the articles of impeachment here:

Articles of Impeachment against President Richard Nixon adopted by House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974.

It is difficult to believe that at one time, I was a technical writer.

Internet forums are always laced with typos.

"Obama said “I am not a dictator”"

No he is not.

Zer0 is just a Richard.

Tonight, he’s decided to go the other route. He’s “Shocked, I tell you, Shocked” to discover the IRS (whatever that is) has been targeting his political enemies.

Plan on the morning shows slobbering over our “wonderful leader” for his “committment to get to the bottom of this”.

Sadly, the LIV’s will buy it.

The initial explanation — that it was the handiwork of just a few rogue IRS workers — sounds about as plausible as blaming the Benghazi attacks on an anti-Muslim video.

Nice. That will leave a mark. BTT.

IIRC, and I lived through the Watergate scandal, it was never shown that the “enemies list” was drawn up by Nixon personally. It was Colson and John Dean that came up with it....but Nixon was held responsible for it because it was his administration.

"Profound graphic! Mind if I borrow it?"

I suppose EVERYBODY can borrow/use this graphic! Please do.

I don't have any sort of copyright on it, nor did I create it. I doubt the creator would complain if it spreads far and wide.
