My impression of FT at the time was that he came across as fair-minded. I still have that impression of him.

Wherein, you suggest that Nixon’s assessment of someone he didn’t even know, when surrounded by ‘yes’ men, is somehow valid when Nixon himself was the one to provide the evidence of his own demise. ( Now, THAT’S stupid!! )

To suggest Fred was “secretly” working for Nixon is actually very funny…Fred asked the question which made Nixon’s resignation possible!

Come on now Bash! You apparently have another candidate in mind and can’t find anything better to hold over the next Presidents head…don’t feel alone, no one else can find anything either.

We have a handful of words spoken and hearsay to contradict the very plain historical fact that he didn’t do those things they wanted. Nor has his record in the intervening years shown any similar pattern of behavior.

Oh wait…. I do have a newfound appreciation for the policy of assassinating dickhead dictators and installing other dictators more friendly to our cause.

“…why you think that your obvious heavy bias in your interpretation of those very small soundbites…”

My OBVIOUS bias in my INTERPRETATION…?

Chill out, dude, I posted a story, didn’t add anything, didn’t take anything away. Didn’t interpret anything, and have no biases. Where the hell did you gather that information from?

I personally haven’t decided who I will vote for yet, I’ll wait until I’ve made sure I understand where each candidate is coming from.

What’s obvious here, is you are a bit touchy. Relax…I don’t dislike Fred, as a matter of fact, he doesn’t have a line through his name on my list of candidates, which means he still has a great shot at getting my vote.

Chill…have a cigar.

and we don’t see him as a nuts here ; he stopped Vietnam war because of the numerous riots across the country ; he did not want a civil war but gather the different opinions people ;

he had respect for De Gaulle who did the same for France in 1945 (and de Gaulle had the same respect for him) to avoid a civil war too, he buried the warmonger hachet

it’s rare and though pertinent for de Gaulle to praise an american president

hey, Dan, stay out !

You really do not know much about history do you?

There are these things called ‘books’ which, if you haven’t actually lived through that period of history, you might find to be helpful. Perhaps more than one on a subject. And don’t just read what you already believe. K?

There… school’s out… run along and do your homework.

yeah, and you know what I feel right today of course, I wonder if I feel something anyway, I am just curious

He apparently has little or no record of great accomplishment as a Senator, voted against the impeachment of Billy Bob Clinton, and appears to like to spend great sums of our money with less than stellar results. I really hope somebody else is the candidate of choice.

Once again, you totally missed the point of the orginal discussion. Why don;t you try sticking to the points of the discussion instead of walking off on some idiotic tanhent, that has nothing to do with the posting. Are you ADD or something?

The posting is on Nixon’s view on Thompson. It is not on Nixon in general. Or his policies. I know you don’t read English very well, but maybe you’d be better off going over to the Daily Kos. They don’t know anything about history either.

WTF es ist mir Scheiz egal

Sailed right over your head didn’t it my little french poodle. ROFLOL
