Of course, then it was a conservative president denouncing a liberal media

Since when was Richard ‘We are all Keynesian now’ Nixon, a conservative? ‘Wage and price controls’? Anyone?

The Stalinists forced him to recant. The "enemies list" and Nixon-style thuggery is good when Lefties practice it. Its all for the revolution and you can't make an omelet without bashing a few right-wing heads in.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus

"I apologize for a dumb comparison."

Apology UN accepted.

You were right the fist time, fool.

[plain talk]

He issued an apology to Nixon?

[FormerACLUmember]

"I confess to ThoughtCrime, and other offenses against the Party"

[DallasDeb]

Sounds like the NPR reporter is correct in his initial assessment since, obviously, he has now been forced to recant his opinion.

[Tallguy]

Well, unlike a lot of the so-called independent Media, NPR is beholden to the Feds. So when the Obama Administration barks, you can expect that the folks at NPR will cower and pee on the floor.

[BillyBonebrake]

With boneheaded comparisons like that maybe he should just give up being a journalist.

Back on the porch for you Rudin!

That was Nixon that did that...right?

The Obama commie/chicago thug tactics just keep on working against the timid. Thank GOD Roger Ailes has the backbone to rise above the Rahm Emmanuel/Axelrod/Obama slime and intimadation.

"Rudin was in backtrack mode. "I made a boneheaded mistake yesterday, Comparing the tactics of the Nixon administration -- which bugged and intimidated and harrassed journalists -- to that of the Obama administration was foolish, facile, ridiculous and, ultimately, embarrassing to me. I should have known better and, in fact, I do know better. I was around during the Nixon years. I am fully cognizant of what they did and attempted to do."

"I apologize for a dumb comparison."

"Ta-da! That's my boy!"

This guy ripped off Charles Krauthammer. Charles used “Nixonian” on Special Report with Brett Bair early this past week.

[CanaGuy]

You got that right JR. Nixon had a few problems, but he was basically a very effective and decisive president and a workaholic. Plus, his staff was composed of intelligent adults, not the crib full of crybabies we currently have.

Since when was Richard ‘We are all Keynesian now’ Nixon, a conservative? ‘Wage and price controls’? Anyone?

Was that the same Milhous that promoted and signed the Environmental Protection (of Marxist policy) Act?

Or was he the one who allowed the Peacenik US Congress to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for the South Vietnamese people by allowing the defunding of the critical war material support for the South Vietnamese government? That "conservative?"

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

His Borg implant must have malfunctioned.

Looking at what the dems have done to the presidency, Nixon was an amateur.
