In reply to the discussion: Nixon's Vietnam Treason (George Will Confirms) [View all]Clint0n
(27 posts)82. i remember reading something on du
about old bush's whereabouts when JFK got assassinated. something about him warning it was going to happen, but the telex stated he was in another country when he sent it.. would explain his rise to 'stardom' and cia chief etc..
....yeah forgiving your predecessor is the first thing they do when they get elected, its the precedent that just keeps on giving! its like the police chief covering up the beating, we just saw Obama justify/excuse bush era torture.../no action ..im just now realizing how long its been going on.. how do older people deal with this shit? kuz its really pissing me off, im only 30 and apparently TPTB(learned that term here) have been fucking everyone for a long time!

He wasn't in government in 1968. "THIS is why Secret Government is undemocratic and evil."

The word Patriot is NOT something we use to describe a rethug. Traitor is more fitting.

And then there was the hostage crisis in 1980. Does this cause anyone to recalculate

This is standard operating procedure. President commits crimes and he dies before anyone knows
