Can you please stop re-posting what every irrelevant retard has to say? You seem determined to turn FR into a fake news tabloid.
If we wanted to hear from these losers we would watch CNN and MSNBC - can’t FR be a place where we come for truth and sanity?
The purpose of Free Republic is to post whatever is in the news. So we can see what’s being said.
It’s not meant to be an echo chamber where you’re only allowed to post things we agree with. That’s called “ preaching to the choir”
Remember the old phrase “know your enemy”
I think it is very valuable to re-visit events in history and re-evaluate our knowledge of the event.
At the time of the break-in we were fed a media version. Watergate was actually the take-down of Nixon and we were all fooled. We have been fooled about many events over the years, e.g., Chappaquiddick, TWA800,Lee Harvey Oswald, on and on.
Hard as they try to scrub the net and the history after 50 years some truth does leak out. Yes, Mo Dean apparently was a roommate of that party girl. There were (and are) many attractive girls on the Hill. At that time they would party at the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City where Bobby Baker arranged weekends for lobbyists and power people to mingle with 'gals from the hill' and politicians. (For you young folks, Baker was LBJ's fixer and enforcer and arranger.) Mary Jo Kopechne was a long time Democratic gal who worked on the Hill and vacationed with others on weekends. I've heard there were connections between her and Mo Dean but the net has been scrubbed.
I've long suspected that Chappaquiddick was a deep state operation to make sure Ted never made it back into the White House. They had botched the earlier assassinations and didn't want to risk another one so they figured a scandal would do the job.
When we re-visit historic events like these it's valuable. It helps us realize all the fake news we have been fed over the years. The same goes for listening to people we have a low opinion of. It allows us to re-evaluate their comments after some of the actual facts have seeped out.
