Wingnuts Keeping Us off Balance, Framing It as Vietnam/& Re-habbing NIXON
So Campaign'04 was about THE WAR---but it was Vietnam, not Iraq. Now the frenzy on rehabilitating Tricky Dick in the guise of tearing down FELT.

Oh, Tweety just told Leslie STAHL (who herself just said she was dating WOODWARD back at the time) that WOODWARD is who inseminated Tweety with the book "Hardball" by grilling him on tape on the subject, then saying, "There's your book." So WOODWARD is the Great Inseminator.

1. The claim that Nixon would have prevented fall of South Vietnam is sick
Nixon had already order the first troop withdrawals and negotiated a large part of the peace accord before the Watergate investigation got going. Here is a time line that contradicts the claims of these nut cases. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam/timeline/tl3.html#a

2. Yep. If the people had shut up and done what the pres said, it would
have all worked out fine. That's the lesson they learned from Vietnam and Watergate: never allow anyone to discuss a quagmire or corrupt power grab again, and call it democracy and freedom while you do it. Proto-fascism.
