"Can I assume you are one of the Hillary voters on here from your comments?" Not exactly sure how you came up with that. I have not and never will vote for Hillary. Or even consider voting for her. I despise her. It really doesn't matter which one is worse -- Nixon or LBJ. In fact, I'll agree LBJ was much, much worse because he was. What Nixon did was still illegal and if he hadn't quit he would have been impeached and convicted. Call it loyalty as somebody else did, but that doesn't make it right. I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the number of Freepers defending Nixon by pointing out Democrats who are worse.≥ That's a tactic I expect to see from liberals.

I don't think anyone is saying it was ok because the dems did it too.

There is some truth tho, that when your opponent is ignoring all the rules, that sometimes it is necessary to get dirty along with them, or lose.

I don't agree with that but it certainly is a mitigating factor.

And there really is no doubt that the dems were playing dirty first and were deeper in the dirt.

It's not defending Nixon to point out the selective nature of the press. IMO that's what this article is doing.

The press leads us around by the nose ring, deciding what is news and what isn't. For maybe 40 years, it appears, that decision has been guided by a liberal world-view (i.e. what's best for the Donkey-party). The American people have been too trusting.
