The Typical RW'er? G. Gordon Liddy
"Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." ... "They've got a big target on there, ATF. Don't shoot at that, because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shots, head shots..." - Liddy

"If the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms insists upon a firefight, give them a firefight. Just remember, they're wearing flak jackets and you're better off shooting for the head." - Liddy

Liddy is noted for certain unusual events in his childhood. For example: catching, cooking and eating a rat (in order to overcome a phobia to rats) and climbing a tree during a thunderstorm (in order to overcome a phobia to lightning).

One of Liddy's most famous feats of endurance would have to be where he would hold his hand on a candle flame until the flesh on his hand was burnt. According to the book "All The President's Men", he did this once at a dinner party and afterwards somebody asked, "What's the trick?" He replied, "The trick is not minding."

1. hell, no.
Liddy is not your typical rwer. No way. He is a far harder man than any of those perumed and fragile cowards who currently sit in the WH, thirsting for the blood of our children.

4. Liddy may suck, but he's not typical.
Sometimes I like him. I like his acting. He always plays a thug. I wonder why.:shrug:

5. Liddy actually has military experience.
That automatically disqualifies most RWers.
