Hey BRINKLEY...
Hillary’s rhetoric is like Nixon’s when he said, “I am not a crook”...
Most of the publicity is beside the point. Wallace was a completely different man of a time gone by. Trump’s rhetoric is like the rhetoric of a child.
The twit making this statement knows nothing. 13th President Millard Fillmore was the most prominent member of this movement. Both Jewish and Catholic communities in his New York hometown honored him with generous donations to a hospital in his name.
Mormons in Territorial Utah loved him so much that they named a county (Millard) after him as well as the principal city there (Fillmore) which was briefly their capital.
He is arguably one of the most underrated presidents of the antebellum era. Among other things, his administration opened up Japan to international trade, prevented a Civil War (or at least delayed it for a decade), encouraged exploration and settlement of the territories acquired in the Mexican War and even tried to save the Whig Party from suicide. Not too shabby for just three years in office.
Thought Kerry only had 93 days in Vietnam. 4 months?
Kill the Latino vote for the republicans? Have they ever had the Latino vote?
CNN is going to find out the hard way that seriously insulting their viewers en masse won’t turn out well for them.
I think you mean Douglas, but please tell me this idiot isn’t related to David Brinkley.
I read a book of his years ago and he seemed pretty conservative.
I use terms like anchor baby, welfare queen, queens, queers, fags, dikes, negroes, blacks, wetbacks, WOPs, dagoes, pollocks, hunkies, micks, kites and others every day. It is effective speech.
End political correctness and won't be provoked to insult. And I will smile when you call a WASP.
The last 2 sentences were all I needed to know; Gibbering Jeb is the chosen candidate of the PROG/LIB/DEMOCOMMIE/PINKO/HOMO/LESBO loving leftist Press Corps.
And I mean that in the way of the press is a stinking, rotting corpse.
Wrong his skin is black that is what got him to where he is. Steel backbone my a**.
Ya left out Bohunk and Swamp Guinne
DEMOCRATIC Governor George Wallace ran for president in the DEMOCRATIC primary.
Once he was shot and incapacitated, George Wallace’s wife was elected Governor as a DEMOCRAT.
Oh; I forgot REDNECK-PECKERWOOD-CRACKER.
That would be me I guess.
:)
We went to the Orange Coast for a week three summers ago. The first wonderful things I noticed was that for an entire week I didn’t hear anyone speaking Spanish. The second thing I noticed that the people doing all the landscaping and yard work were Blacks. Don’t know if it’s changed in the meantime but it was a welcome relief from what we experience in our part of Texas.
I am so sick of the liberals claiming every conservative position is racist or offensive or whatever else in order to demand that they not even articulate their opinions. It is anti-American. Anti-First Amendment. Anti-Republic.
Back in the day I had a Mexican girlfriend who was legal, and working on becoming naturalized. She had -zero- respect for mojados and those who pandered to them.
FYI Brinkley—George wallace was a democrat
So was Forbus, Fulbright, sheet Byrd, and all the other Dixiecrats like Al Gore SR. It was republicans that passed civil rights, made MLK day a holiday. Just why is it that Dems get all the black votes? Dems did nothing but break up the black family with welfare, make Black Dads expendable
in the home and family structure. Dems defined deviancy Down to where drug dealers like Freddy Grey are heroes instead of criminals.
Stephen Edward Ambrose (January 10, 1936 – October 13, 2002) was an American historian and biographer of U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. He was a longtime professor of history at the University of New Orleans and the author of many best selling volumes of American popular history.
Beginning late in his life and continuing after his death, however, evidence and reports have continued to surface documenting longtime patterns of plagiarism and inaccuracies in many of his published writings and other work.
Plagiarism controversy
In 2002, Ambrose was accused of plagiarizing several passages in his book, The Wild Blue.[50][51] Fred Barnes reported in The Weekly Standard that Ambrose had taken passages from Wings of Morning: The Story of the Last American Bomber Shot Down over Germany in World War II, by Thomas Childers, a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania.[52] Ambrose had footnoted sources, but had not enclosed in quotation marks, numerous passages from Childers' book.[51][53]
Ambrose asserted that only a few sentences in all his numerous books were the work of other authors. He offered this defense:
I tell stories. I don't discuss my documents. I discuss the story. It almost gets to the point where, how much is the reader going to take? I am not writing a Ph.D. dissertation. I wish I had put the quotation marks in, but I didn't. I am not out there stealing other people's writings. If I am writing up a passage and it is a story I went to tell and this story fits and a part of it is from other people's writing, I just type it up that way and put it in a footnote. I just want to know where the hell it came from.[51]
A Forbes investigation of his work found cases of plagiarism involving passages in at least six books, with a similar pattern going all the way back to his doctoral dissertation.[54] The History News Network lists seven of Ambrose's more than 40 works—The Wild Blue, Undaunted Courage, Nothing Like It In the World, Nixon: Ruin and Recovery, Citizen Soldiers, The Supreme Commander, and Crazy Horse and Custer—contained content from twelve authors without appropriate attribution from Ambrose.[53]
Factual errors and disputed characterizations
Pacific Railroad
A front page article published in The Sacramento Bee on January 1, 2001, entitled "Area Historians Rail Against Inaccuracies in Book",[55] listed more than sixty instances identified as "significant errors, misstatements, and made-up quotes" in Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad, 1863–1869, Ambrose's non-academic popular history about the construction of the Pacific Railroad between Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska and the San Francisco Bay at Alameda/Oakland via Sacramento, California, which was published in August, 2000. The discrepancies were documented in a detailed "fact-checking" paper compiled in December, 2000 by three Western US railroad historians who are also experienced researchers, consultants, and collectors specializing in the Pacific Railroad and related topics.[53][56][57] On January 11, 2001, Washington Post columnist Lloyd Grove reported in his column, The Reliable Source, that a co-worker had found a "serious historical error" in the same book that "a chastened Ambrose" promised to correct in future editions.[58] A number of journal reviews also sharply criticized the research and fact checking in the book. Reviewer Walter Nugent observed that it contained "annoying slips" such as mislabeled maps, inaccurate dates, geographical errors, and misidentified word origins,[59] while Don L. Hofsommer agreed that the book "confuses facts" and that "The research might best be characterized as 'once over lightly'."[60]
