G Gordon Liddy Speaking in Tunica, Mississippi - March 29th at The Grand Casino

[Illbay]

You cannot listen to him very often, then. I first gave him a listen about six years ago. I thought he was just kind of weird, and then I heard him argue on two different occasions, once with a woman and once with a man, who were complaining about his lack of morals.

He responded that he didn't have to make any excuses for his views on sexual freedom, that he is a virile man and has a taste for the ladies, etc. "Men are evolved to spread their seed," and that kind of immoral cr*p.

From that point on I have never listened to him if I could help it.

I listened to Liddy for 2 hours tonight. He was extremely respectful of his wife and their 45 years together. He also assumed responsibility for any of the small squabbles they may have ... if you don't like him fine.

I wasn't a great fan before nor after the speech. It is difficult to walk away not realizing what a worldly and well rounded base of knowledge he has attained.

Lastly, trying to form others opinions through untruths is really pretty pathetic.

[Bluntpoint]

What untruths? He said what he said. He is a womanizer and is proud of it. No matter how painful it is to his wife and family.

[dmcg_98]

Nice ...

no evidence
no link

pure accusation w/o backing ... tell Peter Jennings I said "hello" when you go back to work Monday.

[Bluntpoint]

What evidence do you require? I, like others on this thread heard Liddy on his radio program say this nonsense.

Should I have made a journal entry in my dairy three or four years ago when he made his comments?

Read his own book about his prison time, in it he bitchs about the warden taping phone calls to his mistress to embarrass him.

[Bluntpoint]

"And his views on many things, particularly his wife, may raise some eyebrows. They certainly raised mine. But he is also loyal, courageous, and intelligent. Read his book and decide for yourself what you think of Mr. Liddy. "

From a review of his book "Will."

Now claim he did not write his own autobiography.

[OldPossum]

OK, point granted. I have been listening to Mr. Liddy for only two years now. However, I can say that during those two years I have not heard him say anything that would indicate he is a womanizer. I will not argue with your personal experience. The only thing I would say is that he certainly has changed insofar as that he has never mentioned anything of this nature during the time I have been listening

As an aside, all the conservative talk show hosts have the same basic messages. What I like about G. Gordon is that he is polite with those with whom he does not agree. That is a rare thing among the species. He also seems to have an encyclopedia knowledge of history and the law.

[Bluntpoint]

Nobody was more depressed than I when I heard that side of Liddy. I agree with 99.9% of what he says.

However, his total disregard for his wedding vows made me sick.

On a number of his shows he commented about the length of his "you know." Telling how different ladies find him unconfortable. Recent different ladies.

This is on the radio. How do you think his wife felt?

On one occasion, when he was defending his "prowless" to a caller, he mentioned that his daughter was upset with him over this. He just said he respectfully disagreed with her and she should run her life not his.

I have no respect for him now.

[Illbay]

What I like about G. Gordon is that he is polite with those with whom he does not agree. That is a rare thing among the species.

Well, I'll agree with that insofar as it goes. I love Rush, but he is HORRIBLE as soon as he gets on the air with a detractor. He splutters, he stumbles, and he falls flat. I don't know what that is.

There is one local host here in Houston who also handles "the opposition" with grace, and I think it is effective.

He also seems to have an encyclopedia knowledge of history and the law.

Oh, I dunno. He talks a good game, but I can bluff my way through in situations like that as well.

As I say: To me, conservatism without a moral underpinning is just selfishness without the hypocrisy of the Left.

[dmcg_98]

D***it! I'll have to take you up on Bluntpoint. I'll drop you a private message when I finish up ... I picked it up this afternoon.
