Thank you David Letterman!

1. LOL

There's a whole generation of 30-somethings and younger who know little or nothing about Liddy except that he is a talk show host. :rofl:

2. It's sad that the dems have to rely...

on Letterman to speak the truth but McCain can rely on the entire MSM to do his work for him....

3. Lol!

4. I love it. mcPOW decides to go back, tail between legs,

and Letterman hits him again.

5. Help me put this into context with McCain

I know all about Liddy and his history, but how does it tie into McCain?

I may be missing something and totally clueless, so feel free to point that out in your explanation! :)

7. McCain "palled around with Liddy".

:rofl:

Liddy is an "unrepentent" terrorist-wannabe.

8. Ah, ok - thanks for clearing that up.

I suspected it was something along those lines but wasn't sure if I had missed something major over the past couple weeks.

11. The whole "guilt-by-association" strategy by McKKKlan's advisors

continues to expose how epically incompetent they are. Any one who is a repuke in Congress dating back to the '70s/'80s would have run into or worked with the crooks of the Nixon administration. Many of Shrub's current staff (including Darth) were young staffers under Nixon and Ford (e.g. Rove).

10. From MediaMatters:

What does Liddy have to do with the presidential election? As Media Matters has noted:

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled, "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07," includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."

McCain even backed Liddy's son's congressional bid in 2000 -- a campaign that relied heavily on the elder Liddy's history.

To sum up: John McCain is "proud" of his "old friend" Gordon Liddy -- an old friend who plotted to kill one of the most respected journalists in American history, and who urged listeners to kill federal agents and advised them on how to do so. McCain campaigned for Liddy's son, and Liddy has even hosted a fundraiser for McCain at his home.

So McCain's relationship with Liddy is pretty much a direct parallel to Obama's relationship with Ayers. Except that McCain and Liddy have apparently spent time together more recently than Obama and Ayers. And Liddy's extremist activities continued well into the 1990s, at least. And Liddy says he and McCain are "old friends," while The New York Times says Obama and Ayers aren't close. And Obama has never said Ayers adheres to "the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." Other than all that, it's a direct parallel.

16. That's a big deal and not any different than the Ayer's non-story

If this was just about Ayers, the case could be made that he has turned his life around.

But Liddy is still at it on a daily basis, just doing it under the guise of the GOP stranglehold of "LIBERTY and FREEDOM!!". I don't see how this isn't getting some major exposure.

14. Liddy has given money to McCain and even held fundraisers for him I believe.

And yes, McCain considers him a friend.

[blue-kite]

6. Hey that doesn't count... I did ten of those searches for Liddy myself...

[AlCzervik]

9. maybe they want some of this?

To anyone that was eating breakfast, sorry.

13. Oh god

:puke:

I should have known better than to scroll down! :rofl:

12. What has been learned about G. Gordon Liddy? I hope these folks found

...and read this about Liddy:

<snip>
McCain’s Terror Connection: G. Gordon Liddy
Published October 5, 2008 in John McCain.
Here’s what the mainstream media won’t tell you when they’re busying parroting the Republican line on how what William Ayers did when Barack Obama was 8 actually having any relevance.

As Media Matters for America has noted, Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy’s radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled “John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07″ includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an “old friend.” During the segment, McCain praised Liddy’s “adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great,” said he was “proud” of Liddy, and said that “it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.”

Liddy called for the murder of federal agents, served time in jail, plotted murder - and after that, John McCain applauded him and took his money.

15. Hopefully a 527 will get this and run with it - forcing someone, anyone in the media to cover it

"Old Washed Up Terrorist" seems quite the fitting definition of this man.
