Ollie North sold missiles to Iran...

...and now he's a star on FOX News.


Reagan negotiated with terrorists and raised taxes, which made him the GOP poster boy (for 20 years) of never raising taxes, and never, under any circumstances, "negotiating with terrorists".


Go figure.

1. G.Gordon Liddy used to be on..
all the time too. I guess Randy "Duke" Cunningham, and Jack Abramoff have a bright future in cable news.

2. Looking on the bright side, you can always call Ollie a convicted felon.

9. And for Republicans the definition is fungible
depending on their domestic political requirements.

11. Ha, yes. They are quite projective. Listen to a screed about "the terrorists," and you'll hear...
...an accurate description of their own aims, and America's foreign policies.

5. Ollie North-foot soldier to the Ayatollah. He would have been in jail if Dems in Congress had not
gone for political grandstanding which allowed his conviction to be overturned.

Of course though, the video of him telling congress that he did not see anything wrong with taking the Ayatollah's money (for arms) --is priceless.

7. Maybe DU should dedicate an entire week to a Media Mantra. Media. MEDIA. MEDIA!
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 12:45 PM by Gregorian
It's so obvious what is happening. They strangled the media so they could do whatever they wanted.

This is sickening. To look back and see how it all fits together. It's like an orchestrated lynching of democracy. They killed America. And they are blaming us.



What I mean is if every post on this forum were about the media, for an entire week, it would make news. One huge chant. Wake up America.

8. I wish there was a post Hall of Fame because this belongs on it.
It says so much about the mentality of the neocon movement and the Reagan worshippers.

13. And he will always have his supporters
Just like Reagan, and Bush, and the other creeps. Why? Because he tells those that are bullies by nature what they want to hear, namely:

Might Makes Right, always;

Americans are better than everyone else;

The average Joe in the US should be sucked up to.
