Let’s have a cake! With candles! And stick our hands in the flames! YYYAAAAAYYY!
Post your tributes to this treacherous hack, burglar, ruthless political fixer, and media fuckup here!
Not to get too serious, in this of all Forums, the disturbing thing is that Mr. Liddy’s mindset seems to have permeated the agencies of the federal government that deal with public safety and national security.
Other wise how do you explain stuff like the legal, green card carrying Pakistani immigrant from up-state New York who was picked up for taking a landscape photo of a reservoir. When it was found out that he had guaranteed a lease and a car purchase for a couple of Pakistanis who had over stayed their visas he was listed for deportation and has been jailed for 18 months awaiting the big bird to Jakarta. Sorry no link. I suppose any Doper from Buffalo knows about this and might be able to link to it.
This level of hysteria and disregard for common sense is a direct link to a White House that thought having a goofy, menacing, lose cannon like Liddy on staff was a good idea. Lieutenant colonel North was his direct descendant. It the old idea that the means is justified by the objective that seems to have become the government’s policy. Apparently we can do any thing, no matter how abhorrent and irrational, if it can be claimed, no matter how tenuously, to serve to protect the public safety.
Type what you want about the man. I know one thing for sure, I for one wouldn’t dare call him a putz to his face - he’d tear my larynx from my throat with his bare hands before I could get the “tz” out.
