Hi Julia…

lol… The New Nixion! wtf!?!?

srry, OT so soon but digg US Court shuts down whistleblower site Wikileaks

Nixon’s the One - I still have a poster from that era (pregnant black woman with a campaign button stating Nixon’s the One). My dad & I fought constantly over that poster.

and spew
Goal: Stir Up Servings of RN Policy, Politics and Culture

I have an I like Ike pin, and a elephant pin from way back then-I come from a long line of republicans, then made an evolutionary leap to the sun.

Hey there.

I still have my McGovern-Shriver campaign buttons. And the thing is, in today’s GOP, Nixon would be way too liberal to get elected to any office.

Hi y’all.

Let’s all rally round the disgraced Richard Nixon. No one will remember Watergate, Kissinger in Chile or the protracted Viet Nam war. If we try, we can make him the new St. Ronnie. Whatever works.

US Court shuts down whistleblower site Wikileaks

In taking Wikileaks offline, the US joins China and Thailand in censoring the watchdog site.

Nice company.

I left you another note down stairs after yours.

GW Clusterfuck gives interview in Africa- says history will remember him as a peacemaker because of invading Iraq.

Well maybe if goopers write the history. Gooper historians have a lot of HARD WORK to do.

The pin is actually an elephant with glasses and says Barry…

You’re not kidding.

1969

* At the White House Conference on Hunger, President Richard Nixon said the time had come to end hunger in America. Established free and reduced-price lunches for needy children through sufficient funding in addition to regular reimbursement.

He supposedly felt strongly about it because his family couldn’t afford decent lunches for him when he was in school and he didn’t think a child should have to have ketchup for lunch.

Nice guy, Reagan was.

I hope that blog allows comments. Since it’s wingnut fare, it probably won’t.

But remember - Obama is a cult, but GW Bush is a peacemaker. Project much, Goopers?

The party of Nixion at work :/

I think I woulda starved to death in 5th grade if they didn’t have breakfast and lunch at school.

I liked the line Oliver Stone gave to Martha Mitchell.

On Nixon’s “problem”:

” . . . it’s because your smile and your face are never in the same place at the same time.”.

Nice guy, Reagan was, a real effing peach.

And I’ve replied as well.

He’s tan, rested and ready…

What a moldy old GOP corpse this election year is going to be. Uck.

Hey Maddy, my dad had one of those gold elephant pins with glasses. That made him “in” with the insurance execs in ‘64. That and willingness to pay for drinks.

That’s to Richmond @ 13.

“In today’s GOP, Nixon would be way too liberal to get elected to any office.”

Yep, way too liberal. I still have my Mother’s Adlai Stevenson buttonhole pin depicting the candidate’s hole in shoe leather campaign pin and will always cherish her enthusiasm for the gentle man from Illinois. sigh…

I think it’s saved a lot of kids.

Nixon would be proud…

The BBC reports:

However, the main site was taken offline after the court ordered that Dynadot, which controls the site’s domain name, should remove all traces of wikileaks from its servers. The court also ordered that Dynadot should “prevent the domain name from resolving to the wikileaks.org website or any other website or server other than a blank park page, until further order of this Court.” Other orders included that the domain name be locked “to prevent transfer of the domain name to a different domain registrar” to prevent changes being made to the site.

Nixon looked directly at me on January 20, 1969 and waved from his limo.

I was a Philly Bulletin carrier. Won a trip to the inaugural parade with new subscriptions.

Have photos of sharpshooters.

I still have my McGovern-Shriver campaign buttons. And the thing is, in today’s GOP, Nixon would be way too liberal to get elected to any office.

Wait, wait; it’s all coming to me now: Yes, Nixon was way too liberal for today’s GOP crowd. And he ran a vast, corrupt enterprise. One might call it fascist in its reach. This all proves that LIBERALS ARE INDEED FASCISTS!

Jonah Goldberg, where’s my sinecure?

God this all reminds me of how Nixon made his appeal to the “silent majority” — well-behaved middle Americans who’d never think of kicking up a fuss or holding up a placard, even as we were turning Southeast Asia into a charnel house. How offensive that phrase sounds to me now.

Aloha, Missie! How’s life as an Army Brat treating ya? 8-)

Yeah. I’ve always wondered if he picked ketchup as his signature shot at the school lunch program just to f*ck with Nixon.

Certainly after his wing of the party took over we never someone who would say this get near the White House.

Sadly, Nixon’s identification with children in need was coupled with a raging paranoia about, um, everybody else.

America now in the danger zone without the protection of bein spied on illegally…scared yet?

Good! And I like living on the base. And school is great and I am in a ton of activities. But I miss my friends.

And when I am on my computer I can’t comment on FDL. It keeps logging me out before I can even talk to people.

GW Clusterfuck claimed he’d stay home from Africa, hold his breath an turn blue if he didn’t get his amnesty bill. Whothoppened?

What, not “The New Dick”?

I guess these days people would think it’s about Cheney…

they like him better over there.

The fewer English speakers on a continent, the smarter Bush sounds.

But I miss my friends.

And Aunt Petunia, too? Moving always sucks…! ;-)

Yeah! I miss her a lot! I even miss my cousin.

Weird. Have you tried clearing the cookie from firedoglake.com? That might help. If you need advice on how to do it, let me know what browser you’re using.

Hmmm. Firedoglake is not on the blogroll.

We like him better over there, too. *g*

be gentle with yourself. Moving is a huge stressor.

I cleared all the cookies and all the internet history and all that staff. Can’t stay on FDL anywhere on the base or even at school.

Nuanced Nixon? Nixon was a crook, a liar and a thief. His pananoia had no bounds and he would have succeeded in hijacking democracy in America had he not been exposed. Thank god for bumbling minions. Sadly Bushco has his entire playbook and makes fascism seem tame.

I always thought is was just a measure of their humanities quotient, and firm grasp of the task at hand.

It must be too foul-mouthed or too liberal for their servers…! ;-)

But I am also kinda too busy to spend as much time on the internet as I used to. I am playing basketball and doing a recycling project and I am writing for the youth programs newsletter. And school and chores and my blog.

The Nixon school lunch program was about having future soldiers for a never ending war.

really??? No!

Hey

We’ve still got Dick Nixon to kick around after all!

Yeah, he was all of that, but back then voters still remembered the depression and they hadn’t been trained out of feeling bad when people starved.

I didn’t see a whole lot of compassion in Tricky Dick. Saw a lot of blood though.

And he really smells bad (sorry bad joke)

The jokes, they write themselves… Welcome to The Blogoshere. [snort. cackle. GUFFAW!!!]

Sounds like a well-rounded schedule…! An excellent edjamacation…! *g*

Interesting point. It would be natural for foreign translators to give Dubya wide latitude regarding his numerous grammatical errors, fifth grade vocabulary and overall butchery of the English language (a language, BTW, that contains a copious amount of words - so many that one may put a very fine point on one’s thoughts and ideas in either written or verbal communication). This being the case, many foreigners may not realize that Dubya is the ignoramous that he is. They may only believe him to be an insatiable warmongering prick and not a complete fool.

Yep.

It was hard to hate IKE- or JFK.

Since then- we’ve mostly had presidents that were pretty easy to hate.

Hers’ yet another part of the George W. Bush legacy: the rehabilitation of Richard M. Nixon. Heck of a job, Bushie!

Mushie sittin around waitin fer the early election results to see if he wins or is forced to do another coup….

A dictator’s life is not an easy one.

My mother and I appreciated free school lunches too. (But that was WAY before Tricky Dicky Nixon’s presidency. He was Veep then.)

< <<New>>>????? Nixon?

Did they do something with stem cells that would allow a dead person be remade? I mean, doesn’t someone’s history get locked in when they die?

Taking make-overs to a new level. Reality TV!!!!!!!!

need to stratergize, ‘n it’s hardwerk, I wish george were moving the f69k out, maybe move in with his buddy joe.

Or, spelling correctly, Here’s yet another…

Yeah

Tricky Dicky looks at least a LITTLE better after GW Clusterfuck.

Hey Snarky!

All in good time my Sweeties all in good time.

Georgie Porgie will be startin ta pack his bags before ya know it.

1,761 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Darkine01:

“…Nixon would be way too liberal to be elected to any office.”

Don’t you believe that for a moment…the only reason Nixon accepted or gave lip service to “liberal” institutions and policies is that there were solid REAL Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress and the majority of the votin’ public was of the generation of FDR and Truman. Nixon was a fascist protege of Murray Chautner (sic) and Joe McCarthy…he was a wholly owned subsidiary of the oligarchy that created the America First movement of which the Bushes are part. No dear, if alive today, Richard Nixon would lead the fascist parade…he was politically smarter and more accomplished than any of these krypto-Nazis today and as such would probably win.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, DON’T LET THE FUCKERS REWRITE THE HISTORY MANY DIED FOR!!

Georgie Porgie busy workin on his LEGACY nowadays- tryin ta balance the humans he killed in Iraq with those he saved in Africa. Claims it’s a net plus.

Well maybe, he still had to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink.
uh yea…retink, thinking……..you win.

Think Progress:

Christie to face ‘grilling’ over Ashcroft cronyism.

The House Judiciary Committee has “called for New Jersey’s U.S. attorney, Christopher Christie, to testify at a hearing next week about his appointment of former Attorney General John Ashcroft to a lucrative assignment as a corporate monitor.” The committee made the request by “e-mail and phone to the Justice Department’s Office of Legislative Affairs about two weeks ago but has not received a response.” It has also not received a response from Ashcroft to testify.

Somehow, I doubt that Bush has felt any remorse about the deaths he’s caused. He seems like a soul-collector.

I just think every once in a while they do a test to see how stupid their followers are. Reaffirmation of stuidity quotient.

Think of it as his last chance to see the world without being arrested for war crimes.

Hey SnarKassandra,

Did I ever tell you that you are one exceptional young woman? This Sixty Something grandmother wants you to know that just because….You are.

I suspect there’s a certain amount of self-interest involved too - can’t be too useful to have “pretended the disgraced criminal President didn’t reek of booze and hid the football” on your resume. Works much better if you were a great help to an underappreciated genius.

Asscroft as corporate monitor is like putting a mouse in charge of the cheese. Ashcroft refuses to answer a request from the House Judiciary Committee? Where have we seen this before? Ashcroft, proponent of Republican smaller gubmint wants to suck gubmint high dollar teat? I can’t believe it.

Yes, good point.

Hmmm… Will Musharraf actually cede power to the victor…

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Early Pakistani election results show supporters of President Pervez Musharraf struggling, television stations reported on Tuesday.

Somehow, Mush will prevail when last minute Ohio and Florida tallies are counted.

HA! The heritage foundation fixed the spelling of extension on their FISA Overtime clock, but now the sucker doesn’t keep time!

Christie thought it was Corporate Mentor!

And don’t forget, Nixon had a “secret plan” to end the Viet Nam war. I’m sure we’ll soon be hearing that W’s got a secret plan to get the U.S. out of Iraq-that he’ll only share with McCain.

I told my kid’s the day Nixon died that I wanted to go to the funeral, lift the lid on the coffin and drive a stake through his heart so he couldn’t come back again.

Should have taken my own advice and brought a few hundred more stakes for the people who are behind this site.

A liar, a felon, and a warmonger. (I’m trying to keep it short here.)

[Mod Note; thanks for not taking that one any further.]

they must be *cough* whooping it up *cough* at the Nixon Foundation:

“I am not a croup!”

Interesting that the press release about this new blog didn’t include the URL (link address) of the new blog. Is that typical?

Let’s not forget Jimmy Carter - it was difficult for me to even disagree much less be infuriated by the man from Plains….course I was oh so much younger.

I find it interesting that local TV news are allowed to call it already…! Should be fascinating how it will play out… Hopefully, there’ll be no ‘crack downs’! 8-(

Oh, but he “opened” up China.

Uh, wait…

And don’t forget that Ronnie Reagan had a deal on the hostages that sunk Jimmy Carter. Although that analogy would presume a Democratic Cleanup Administration after 8 years of the urinary presidency.Darn spellcheck.

Carter was/is a Saint…! The best ex-Prez ever…! 8-)

when they tire of fabricating lies out of “respectable Republican [whole] cloth”, these Nixonian bloggers can pass the time at their monitors playing solitaire or, better yet, Checkers.

It’s linked up there, at “The New Nixon”

Interesting thing linked over there: Kristol is a McCain advisor, but since he’s not paid or “listed” it’s not a conflict.

On this program on Book-TV today:

Heroes Hacks & Fools: Memoirs from the Political Inside
Author: Ted Van Dyk

Van Dyk, who briefed & wrote speeches for almost every D prez & candidate since Stevenson, graded Carter as the worst. Said Carter knew nothing about economics & foreign policy.

Uhoh, Hill! This doesn’t bode well…

Texas poll shows dead heat among Dems

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITI.....index.html

or for that matter dominoes.

southeast Asian dominoes…

I wonder what John Dean thinks of this “new Nixon” site.

Samantha Power is now a senior advisor to Barack Obama.

We were supposed to meet for only an hour but ended up meeting for three or four hours at a steakhouse. Suddenly it was almost midnight and I heard myself saying to him, “Why don’t I just quit my job at Harvard and work in your office for a year or whatever?” I didn’t even know what I was proposing, but he said, “Great.”

I wish they’d stop doing likely voter polls. The big story about this primary season is how many highly unlikely voters are coming out.

Said Carter knew nothing about economics & foreign policy./blockquote>
Well, he had to deal with stagflation, and, I thought his ME efforts was the most admirable of many since ‘47… Begin-Sadat…

I don’t believe the polls are right. They don’t get young people who have only cell phones, or people who screen their calls. Also, I can’t believe McCain could be nearly as close as they say to either Hill or Barack.

Mount Rushmore needs a new Dick.

-Hugh Hugenips

Nixon will now have a blog run by right wingers to rewrite his own history, you know, instead of “I am not a crook” his blog will reflect, “I was never a crook”? Oh wow.

Wow. Just WOW Loo Hoo!

Maybe I can’t ever get the Zed here, but i got it at the new nixon site referred to in post #57

Well, it probably wouldn’t help them with their ongoing effort to rehabilitate Joe McCarthy if one of his closest allies goes down in history as a paranoid crook who used the issue of communism cynically to get votes.

Don’tcha just love ‘Revisionist’ histories…! ;-)

We may need to send Snarkassandra on undercover assignment.. See could visit the blog as a student looking for answers/facts on a homework assignment. Let’s see if the New Nixon blog-masters provide factually accurate representation..

…goes down in history as a paranoid crook who used the issue of communism terrorism cynically to get votes.

De Ja Vu all over again? ;-)

And of course, if they can rehab Joe McCarthy there’s the added bonus that it would somehow dis-credit Edward R. Murrow by extension.

You know, liberal media and all that…
