Liddy visits Israel - Hosts show from Jerusalem Post Radio studios.
The Army, the FBI, the Nixon Administration, the Watergate scandal, and Jail. He is a man of courage and honor to some, a disgrace to others, and fascinating to all. From his involvement in Watergate, to his controversial radio program, which reaches some 8-10 million Americans daily, he is a man who has cast himself in his own action adventure story.
Who is this? G. Gordon Liddy or the G-Man as he is known to his talk show listeners, a national political personality and host of the nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show, the G. Gordon Liddy Show. In addition to the radio program, Mr. Liddy is an author of three books, an actor, and a lecturer on political history, domestic and foreign policy, and politics today. He is widely respected by friends and foes for his intellect, convictions, outspoken style and humor.
Please join us in welcoming G. Gordon Liddy - a genuine American original - to Israel, and the radio studios of the Jerusalem Post.
Liddy, "delighted" to be working with The Jerusalem Post, will bring his daily, very conservative radio program "The G. Gordon Liddy Show" to the country for a week, starting October 22. During that period he will interview a host of Israeli leaders and talk to his listeners on some 200 radio stations around the US from the Post's building in Jerusalem.
Asked if he is afraid to come to Israel now, at a time of State Department travel advisories and a complete lack of tourism, Liddy emphatically replied "Nooo."
"I'm a life member of the American Special operations Association, a former war-time artillery officer in our army, and a former bureau supervisor of the FBI," he said, in signature staccato fashion.
"I don't like to say a lot of self serving things, but I once captured at gun-point one of only two people in history who had twice been on the FBI's 10 most wanted list, and I did it at gun-point by out-drawing him.
I'm not going to be afraid to go to Israel, for heaven's sake. If someone starts shooting at me, and there is a gun nearby, they are going to be damned sorry."
Although plans to do the show in Israel were hatched well before September 11, Liddy feels the attacks in the US make his coming here now more "pertinent and important."
"The US citizenry now understand to some degree what every Israeli citizens has been going through for so many years at the hands of the terrorists," Liddy said.
On one of his web-sites, Liddy describes what he views as his overall purpose in public life as follows: "to look through the night of nitwittery, cut through the political correctness, and blow away the bravo sierra [b.s.] to find the good, the true, the prudent and wise so you can act upon it to the benefit of your personal, family, working, community, and national life as an American citizen."
Asked how interested his listeners now are in what is happening in Israel, considering that US forces are involved in fighting taking place four large countries to Israel's east, Liddy said the US public is interested because of Osama bin Laden's attempts to link the attacks in New York and Washington to US support for Israel.
"The terrorists are saying there will be no peace in the US until they feel secure in - quote -- Palestine - end quote. That is code for the extinction of the Israeli state, and the driving out and killing of all Jews in what they claim as 'Palestine'," he said.
According to Liddy, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was dead on the mark when he said last week that Israel will not play the role of 1938 Czechoslovakia."
"Sharon was right," Liddy said. "The reason for the uproar [in the US over these statements] is because they struck home."
Liddy said that the US "has no business forcing the representatives of the legitimate democratic government of Israel to parley with a man who is a terrorist, who -- while he talks peace in English for CNN -- turns around and says in Arabic to his Arabic brethren, 'don't listen to that'."
"Yasser Arafat's plan is still the same, and that is the extinction of Israel," Liddy said. "He is a terrorist himself, he harbors terrorists, he gives them aid and succor, and that means he falls under the definition that President Bush has said of a regime that must be ended. Why, if it is a regime that must be ended, should Israel continue these fruitless discussions with him?"
Asked why Bush, who Liddy avidly supports, does not see this, the G-Man placed the problem squarely on Colin Powell's shoulders.
"The problem is that there is a split in the administration between President Bush and Defense Secretary Daniel Rumsfeld on the one hand, who want a hard line against not only the terrorists but also those who give them aid and succor, and his unfortunate choice of Secretary of State -- the dove Colin Powell. Powell counseled Bush's father against military action to eject Iraq from Kuwait, and then stopped the war when he had it won, snapping defeat from the jaws of victory. Now he is giving him [the younger Bush] the same advice."
Liddy, who was the only Watergate conspirator who refused to 'sing" and implicate his bosses at his Watergate trial on the 1970s, and perhaps as a result served more time - 52 months in jail - than anyone else involved in that scandal, is now willing to speak his mind freely on a variety of issues.
Asked what Israel should be doing now that the US has started its war on terror, Liddy said, "They should give all the superb intelligence assistance they can to the US, they should keep their guard up, continue their policy of killing those who mastermind killing in Israel, and resist US State department Arabists when they would have them engage in futile blabber with the likes of Yasser Arafat."
Israel must never fall to Barak or Peres or any of their ilk again, ever!
ZIONISM FOREVER!!!
A greater Israel equals greater peace!
Screw the bush/powell coalition!
. . . onward . . . !

LMAO! I can't believe he said that. I've always liked and respected Liddy but for some reason, I was under the impression that he was an anti-semite. I'm glad to see he's quite the opposite. I'd like to listen to his show, but I don't think we get it here.
"There are also those who believe that if we strike our enemies hard, we will prompt them to attack us again. News Flash! They don't need to be prompted. The only thing that will stop them is annihilation. The world gasped at the cruelty of the attack on the World Trade Center. The only proper response is to make the world gasp at the remorsely efficient visitation of death and destruction upon our enemies and those who have in any way assisted them, by a ferocious America."
"When the 7th Infantry Division went into battle against the Imperial Japanese forces on Okinawa, they did so with stakes lashed upright to the sides of their tanks. Upon those stakes were impaled the heads of dead Japanese soldiers. Old men, women, and children leapt to their deaths from cliffs at the approach of the 7th Infantry Division. That's how it is done. Let our enemies know fear-then let them know death!"
Message from G. Gordon Liddy
Thanks for the support G-Man. His autobiography is pretty good. Read it years ago. It's a quick read
You're on the wrong website, fool.
He's done his time and
G Gordon Liddy is a real patriotic American ...unlike you!
And the man R M Nixon, who Liddy did a few dirty things for, was a friggin' saint compared to your idol Bill Clinton. Who although he is a stone traitor has yet to spend one day in prison. Though one can always hope :)
Add Maha Rushie - the Great One - Rush Limbaugh - to the list of Israel's die-hard supporters.
