Naw I think NG has had a leftist streak since at least the sixties. My parents had hundred of issues of old NGs in the basement that I always enjoyed reading. There was a cover article from the late 60s. It was about the "Cultural Revolution" and "Great Leap Forward" in Communist China. Whoever wrote that article swallowed all the garbage the ChiComs fed him w/out ever questioning it.

However, I do not think they were nearly as leftist as they are today. My favorite ad from the sixties was a Delta Airlines ad with the caption,"We have the prettiest stewardesses." You'd never see that today.

Yes I think he would do a fine job, but I do not think he could do any better than what is being done at present.

Contrary to what Arnett thinks we are Winning Big.

He is a naturalized US citizen at prestent. Maybe not much longer.

If "Baghdad Jim" McDermott is safe and sound in Congress, what makes you think that Arnett will be affected?

Thinking back, I have to agree that some articles leaned left.

I found the old ads fascinating, as I grew up then... particularly the 8mm and Super-8 movie camera ads- good Lord, the progress since then is staggering.

Arnett graduated from the same military academy his cousin Beel Clintoon hailed from . .

Bill Clinton's Lies and Promises - Did He Cause 9/11/01?

QUESTION: If Arnett is so eager to report the truth, why hasn't he done so on Bill Clinton!?

The Military Legacy of B.J. Clinton

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be alive today.

I am digging around in Arnett's past. Guess what pivotal quote in Viet Nam was "heard" by Peter Arnett?

"It became necessary to destroy the town (BanTre) in order to save it."

This quote, which was alledgedly made by an Air Force Major Chester L. Brown to Peter Arnett was one of the most effective bits of anti war propaganda to come out of the Viet Nam conflict.

The problem is, "Major Brown" may not have said it at all, it was probably created out of whole cloth by Peter Arnett even back then!

Here is some source material, go about 80% down the link, it is partially in Vietnamese and partially in English.

We need to track down this "Major Brown" quote, if this was one of traitor Benedict Arnett's first "Big Lies", that will be important to know today. Has Arnett been an America hating mole since the 60s?

I read elsewhere his mentor was an Australian communist and virulent America hating reporter named ?Burchett?, this should also be tracked down.

As I have stated on another thread, it is interesting to revisit the Nixon impeachment in the full blush of knowledge of 'Rat tactics.

With Hillary Rodham leading the legal attack, the Washington Post and an anonymous source feed the Socialist media stream to the ignorant masses, how much of this was real, and how much was just a Democrat hatchet job?

In retrospect, the answer will surprise no one, but it is shocking nonetheless.

feed = feeding

And not to mention Hollywood 'Red' Robert Redford and the rest of the creeps chiming in with "All the President's Men".

It is so obvious, it hurts.

We were had. What a wake-up call!
