HAHA! I so hope Hilliary reads this.
Okay, so I would love to see a meme with Hillary at her press conference and Nixon or Nixon’s ghost looking in the background. Maybe even a huge black and white of Nixon’s face, the size of the background, looking over her shoulder? With the “I am not a CROOK!” text. Anyone?...
Before Bush 2, it was Bush 1. Before Bush 1 it was Nixon. Before Nixon it was Hoover. Every generation of leftists has to create a straw demon to vilify for the Low Info Voters to revile....................
Then there was the hostile Liberal new media, baying at his heels and the Democrats, whose main goal in life was to sabotage the Vietnam War effort. The Liberals also hated him because he was a staunch anti-Communist and was a key figure in exposing massive Communist espionage in the government during the Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers affair when Nixon was in Congress.
It is an entirely different situation today and hardly analogous at all. I think Bob Lonsberry (whom I usually admire) is too young to remember what really went on and is getting his facts from revisionist history. He is being far too kind to Hillary and far too critical of Nixon by equating what Nixon did compared to Her Heinous.
Hillary was, and still is, concealing the fact that she accomplished nothing positive and left the world in a far more dangerous position.
The Mossad might also have a copy of everything on the Clintons' server. The problem, of course, is that neither Israeli intelligence, nor China nor Russia, nor some freelance hackers in some third world backwater, have any reason to be interested in turning the files over to US investigators. They would be far more valuable as fodder for bribery if Hillary's career continues to advance toward the White House. Israel, for example, might well think the the files, to the extent that they reveal criminality (which I strongly suspect they do), would be invaluable in 2018 or so if a President Hillary is balking at selling Israel some critical military hardware, or threatening aid reductions if they don't curtail settlement activity. China, Russia, and other nations might similarly view the files as critical bargaining chips in future negotiations with a Hillary Clinton administration.
Gritty, I agree with your analysis. He was one of my favorite presidents. He was, however, kind of a social klutz who seemed uncomfortable with real day to day people. He wasn’t the guy you’d sit down with and have a beer. He was a very effective president who loved his country.
Nixon was an angel compared to the Clinton gang and the Obama thugs currently ruling us. At least Nixon loved the country, but when he exposed commies the MSM vowed to take him down.
Nixon was a choirboy compared to the she-devil.
