NIXON TARGETED KERRY FOR ANTI-WAR VIEWS

MSNBC.com ^ | March 15, 2004 | Brian Williams

That was Helen G. Douglas that Nixon defeated, wasn't it?

[Poincare]

Bryan williams left out:

"He came back a hawk and became a dove when he saw the political opportunities," Colson says.

Kerry is unstable. He came back high on war. He filmed himself and pursued getting himself medals for stupid hot dog adventurism in Nam.

It was a setup, NBC could of shown Testimony from Kerry calling American Soldiers Monsters but used less politically damaging statement of his.

By showing Nixon as having Kerry on his enemies list they plan to discredit any bad actions by Kerry at that time as being made up by Nixon's goons and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

I might be wrong but this was a creation of the Kerry machine to make him look like a victim of smear politics.

Helen G. Douglas? Gehagen?

[Spotsy]

If the democrats hadn't run McGovern a hell of a lot of conservatives would have stayed home

Some of Nixon I liked, some I didn't. But a funny aside - Senator Moynihan, in his later years, called Nixon one of the most liberal presidents we had in the 20th century. Just take a look at Nixon's domestic agenda (i.e. EPA!!).

[Spotsy]

The thing that strikes me most is that Nixon could've fought the trial and probably won. His family and friends wanted him to fight. But Nixon didn't want to put the country through the agony of an impeachment trial.

I've read every book written about Watergate and the Nixon years - and I can't figure out how so many people from the Nixon WH went to jail while none from the Clinton WH ever served time - namely Hillary - seriously!

[Spotsy]

Thanks to thoughtless FREEPERS.If ONLY the REAL pictures had been the only ones posted here, or the funny doctored ones.

One phony picture (clearly phony to the undiscerning, unknowing eye) does not a blanket excuse make.

I'm so tired of the "he started it" kindergarten response from the Kerry camp.

[Spotsy]

While Nixon didn't always make the right choices in the Watergate aftermath - the real blame for instigating the shenanigans of Watergate and the subsequent cover-up goes to Mr. John Dean.

Dean's ambition triggered and perpetuated most of the mess. Sad part is, Dean is still out there profiting from his exploits.

[Spotsy]

The Nixon-Bush linkage is designed to damage Bush in the eyes of Middle America not to help Bush.

I agree - the media message in this story is that Bush is unfairly attacking Kerry, just like that ruthless, cunning, demonic Nixon did back in the '70s.

With any luck, this dog won't hunt.

[Eva]

Nixon was right and Kerry was a traitor. Wachovia sponsored the Chris Matthews show tonight, where this was the focus and I am calling my investment counselor and telling him that if Wachovia insists on sponsoring Democrat partisand tv shows, we will withdraw our investment portfolio.

[nopardons]

Spot on;exactly right! That and Dean's wanting to keep the fact that his wife was a high paid whore, out of the news.

[ntnychik]

Have you read Silent Coup by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin? Much information on Dean's shenanigans. G. Gordon Liddy said this book is the one to read if you want to know most of what happened surrounding Watergate. (Of course G. Gordon will never tell everything!)

[Spotsy]

Have you read Silent Coup by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin? Much information on Dean's shenanigans.

I'm reading it right now! And it is confirming everything I suspected about Dean from reading all other Watergate-related books.

Can you imagine how different things might have been if Dean had never been hired as WH counsel?

[Eva]

Waschovia sponsored the Chris Matthews show which focused on the Nixon tape.

The contact for Waschovia is
Media relations, Mary Eshart-704 374 2138

I conatacted the investment relations because we use this bank and told them that I resented the bank to which we entrust our life savings using our money against us by sponsoring a partisan campaign show for John F'n Kerry, and if they persisted we would be forced to withdraw our money. I finished by advising them to stay out of politics.

[Eva]

I just noticed the typo in my earlier post and thought that I would take this opportunity to correct the mistake and repeat my statement that Waschovi sponsored the PARTISAN, pro Kerry, Chris Matthew show tonight.

Call them tomorrow and complain:

Mary Eshet, media relations 704 374 2138

[Eva]

Darn, I'm tired and better go to bed, I spelled Wachovia wrong. The media relations number is still 704 374 2138.
Please help me our here and call them tomorrow.

[olde north church]

How DARE you have that attitude?
Patrician Senator John F. Kerry was in Vietnam.
Patrician Senator Kerry has 3 Purple Hearts.
To-the-Manor-Born Navy Captain John F. Kerry administered the coup de grace.

[Eva]

Help me out, make the call.

[olde north church]

You know I was only teasing you, right?
Senator John F. Kerry, 3 Purple Hearts, One Empty Head
