21. According to George McGovern, who ought to know, Nixon was

a moderate liberal, as was the elder Bush. If you haven't seen his new book The Essential America, Our Founders and the great Liberal Tradition, you should check it out when you get a chance. It is a very enlightening and informative history of our government.

2. HST was a drunk and an addict and made no sense most of the

time.

Who cares what he said or thought,he was nuts!

[CatWoman]

4. um, EXCUSE ME???!!!!!!!!

I happen to think he was a brilliant man, and "I" care very much what he thought!!!!

[RoyGBiv]

5. Ahem ...

I'm editing this post to take out what I originally said.

Suffice to say, your ignorant assault on HST is not appreciated. I suspect you're not at all familiar with anything he wrote or said and are basing this comment on nothing but your own prejudicial arrogance.

Hunter stomped terra.

The kind of Ranter we all hope to become when we grow up.

9. wow you obviously never read his writing!

and you are awfully puritanical and judgemental for somebody posting on a progressive discussion board. and MANY of us cared what he said or thought.

[Pepperbelly]

13. who cares what YOU think?

That was a totally bullshit remark. I know enough now to take everything you say with a dose of salt because we clearly are not on the same side. i expect he had far more to say drunk than you will in your very best state of mind.

And with far more relevance.

[CatWoman]

14. AH, Richard

see why I love you so much??? :hi:

[Pepperbelly]

26. HIYA!

:hi:

[Bridget Burke]

17. What HST did was--Write.

Any live appearances were strictly secondary to his great gift.

Have you ever read any of his works?

[ArtVandaley]

18. The same could be said about Van Gogh

Do you deny his brilliance?


Try reading some of Hunter's work. You should be impressed

[zulchzulu]

22. Wow...

I didn't see your response before I wrote mine...

[zulchzulu]

20. Van Gogh cut his ear off, so all his paintings must suck

Same logic...but hey...thanks for playing.

[zulchzulu]

23. Michelangelo was a gay guy who liked little boys, so he must be "bad"

Imagine scrutinizing all the geniuses we have been lucky to have and declare them irrelevant due to the humanness.

We'd be fucked.

29. When you're half as accomplished as him

I'll take you seriously. Until then, you're just one more random text generator.

[Sanity Claws]

3. That's right

Nixon actually did things that some businesses did not like. My recollection is that he put some kind of freeze on wages and prices because of inflation. I'm afraid I don't much else on that front.
He did not flaunt religion and believe that he should impose religion on anyone.
He opened up communication with China.

7. Lived thruogh Nixon

Yes, I agree. Bush isn't conservative. He is RADICAL. Even Goldwater, would be liberal compared to Bush.

[SharonAnn]

8. Environmental Laws and Equal Opportunity Laws under Nixon

[Lorien]

10. Sad thing is

most of us would take Nixon in a heartbeat over what's in office now!

[CatWoman]

11. your kitties are just too beautiful!!!

:hi:

[Lorien]

12. Thanks! Lol-

I love your kitties too, Catwoman!

:hi:

[jonnyblitz]

24. wow..i can't believe people get so bent out of shape

over kitty pics! I like looking at them too! that person must be on dial-up or something. geesh. :eyes:

[Lorien]

27. Heheh

I'm on dialup too. Some people just come here trying to find ANYTHING to get their knickers in a twist over. ;-)

15. Bush makes Reagan look FDR n/t

[tritsofme]

16. Its very true

Nixon instituted wage and price controls, set up the EPA.

Nixon was much more liberal than Bush.

[zulchzulu]

19. Crooksandliars needs a new server or some other way to serve video

I get nothing but time outs and broken downloads...it's too bad.

[Mz Pip]

28. I miss Nixon

Never thought I'd live to say that. But compared to Bush, Nixon was a flaming liberal. HE actually believed that government had a place as a safety net. HE actually cared about the environment.

He was paranoid and did his "dirty trick" but in the grand scheme of things he doesn't even come close to Bush on corruptness and sleaze. Bush wins that contest hands down.

30. Dennis Kucinich....

would have been considered a main stream Democrat in the early 70's. Those were the days.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. Chris Rock says: "even if there's tanks rolling down Flatbush Avenue.....

still ain't gonna fight!"

ever hear that....it's even funnier in context

[solinvictus]

32. Tim Russert

What a horse's ass!! All he did was parrot the "Saddam=9/11" line all through the interview.
