CALLING HEROES: George McGovern calls for a modern-day "Deep Throat"!

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within the administration of President George W. Bush to reveal how America was "misled" on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said.

"We need someone like that who is highly placed to tell us what's really going on. We know that we were misled on Iraq," McGovern told Fox News Radio....

"This war in Iraq, in my opinion is worse than anything Nixon did. I think Nixon deserved to be expelled from office in view of the cover-up that he carried on and the laws that he violated. But we have an administration in power now that led us to a war that is internationally illegal; it's a war that we are fighting with a country that has no threat to us that has nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks.

McGovern said Nixon was undoubtedly "tricky," but said of Bush: "This man claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have never been attached to."

1. What a wonderful patriot and REAL war hero!! Love him.

Thanks to him and bless his heart, for those smart words.

[FogerRox]

That man flew 38 missions in a B-24 Liberator bomber in WW2

38 missions is unheard of--most pilots rotated home after 20.

Not friggn George though--

[indepat]

2. McGovern is a wise veteran politician, but not one supporter/true-believer

will buy into his take on Iraq. EOS

[DeepModem Mom]

3. I think all the evidence is easily found -- the press is not interested...

in getting on the bad side of the Bush cabal, or in courage.

[Bluebear]

7. Every 'deep throat' so far has been dismissed.

Clarke et al. They would have to b e pretty spectacular to get Runaway Bride off the front page.

[Inland]

8. The truth gets told over and over. But the press and elites don't care.

That's the scandal. Not just what's being done, but that exposing it leads to nothing.

[whistle]

4. George McGovern has been very quiet for the last 30 years....

...I don't believe he has even come out on any issue since Bush II first stole the presidency. I'm glad he has found an issue that he feels he can speak out on now.

[FogerRox]

6. you missed Georges interview w/ AL Franken

[whistle]

11. Yes I did....

5. I'm almost getting goosebumps!

He so hit the nail on the head! Unfortunately, this administration will never have a Deep Throat, because The Moron has done such a brilliant job of placing loyalty to himself about what is best for the American people.

He doesn't allow dissent in his administration.

9. Thank you, Senator.

Thank you! :patriot:

10. Bravo! George McGovern is a truth-telling elder statesman who is STILL

working for the good of humanity. Stir things up, Senator McGovern!

[VOX]

12. Now *that* is an honorable man! And he's the son of a Methodist minister..

So when he blows the whistle on the phony-Christian stuff, he definitely knows whereof he speaks! :thumbsup:

[me b zola]

13. He was on MSNBC's Connected yesterday

He was there to discuss Watergate & Nixon, then he broke into warnings of the current corupt administration. He was fabulous.


:loveya:

14. Read McGovern's latest book

"The Essential America : Our Founders and the Liberal Tradition":
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743269276/qid=1117758653/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/103-2598121-1974264?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Very short, and very worthwhile indeed. I was inspired to buy it after hearing the Franken Show interview with him.

McGovern is a great patriot with loads of integrity, and I'm pleased to see him speaking the truth yet again.

15. Too bad the hero would need someone in the corporate media to listen

Otherwise they'd get too easily ignored/discredited. That's the problem with our media today.

[Daphne08]

16. I remember that campaign well.

McGovern was the polar opposite of these NeoCons in Washington today.

He wanted to end the Vietnam War (they used to call it the Vietnam Conflict since war was never officially declared), cut defense spending and help the American people. He advocated a Guaranteed Minimum Income. http://www.answers.com/topic/guaranteed-minimum-income

He was soundly defeated by Nixon.

17. RHT (real human tears),...

,...:cry:

Please, don't let these freaks destroy the dreams that made America a great nation.

The "freaks" are greedy corporacrats who hooked up with radical Christian crusaders. The "freaks" do NOT deserve to be given the attention to pull this country into oblivion, into anything less than the hope of "democracy".

Squash those who would destroy this country. Please. Please. Don't let the inventions of human potential be given a death sentence by this cabal of economic cannibals. Please!!!!

[unblock]

18. no, we DON'T need another "deep throat"

deep throat provided deep background. he told woodward and bernstein to follow the money, he told them that this stuff went all the way to nixon's inner circle.

THAT stuff we already know!

what we need are the PRIMARY sources to leak the hard evidence, not someone to give general background and confirmation.

come to think of it, we've got THOSE, TOO.

what we need is a media that will cover this administration objectively rather than as completely corrupted sycophants.

[elehhhhna]

20. We have the Downing Minutes already. Christ. Do we need video?

[unblock]

21. we need to catch bush in bed with a dead girl or a live boy

as edwin edwards once said. they make their politician colorful in louisiana, don't they?

[Jade Fox]

19. There are "deep throats" all over the place!

The media will not take them seriously, and give their stories prominence.

Its not for lack of evidence that Bush has not been impeached already.
