I just saw "Nixon" last night, on TCM, for the first time.
I was fairly young when he was president, about 14 or so.
Mostly what I remember about him was his ending the Viet
Nam War and how relieved I was that I wouldn't be drafted
when I turned 18. Also I remember the Watergate scandal
because it dominated not only the news but also all of
entertainment television (I think I even remember an
episode of 'I Dream of Jeanie' where the actors broke
out of character in order to give speeches against Nixon).

All I actually thought back then was that Nixon was a
bad man, but I didn't really know why. Everyone just
said he was, so he MUST have been.

Now that I've seen the movie, I realize how wrong I was.
President Nixon was a VERY GOOD man who tried very hard
to bring about peace. He made peace with Russia, ended
the Viet Nam War -- even though he had to admit that
America had lost that war, a first in American history,
and he was even able to sit down with Chairman Mao and
begin negotiations with China.

He came up poor, like most of us. He had a good heart
and in fact was just too honest for his own good. He
tried to lock horns with the likes of Hoover and the
powerful elite who were pulling the strings in government
behind the scenes. He would be no one's puppet. I think
his only real failing was that he was convinced that he
had to be the strongest man in the world, and that belief
made him incapable of admitting that he was wrong about
anything.

He was made out to be the worst villain since Hitler,
on television when I was just a kid, and I bought the
whole package without question.

If President Nixon was alive today I think I'd write
him a letter and apologize to him for how I felt back
then.

I'm sorry Mr. President; you were indeed a good man.
Thank you for all you did for our country and the
world.

Nixon was a Quaker and ate oatmeal and everything,
and because he was a Qauker, I want to think that he
was a good and peaceful man, but he was surrounded
by bad evil people maybe who liked to break into places
after hours and steal office supplies.

JFK, on the other hand, was perceived as a good and noble man
but was really very evil and had to be put to sleep for the good of
the American country and to insure a secure supply of Macanudos.

*GASP!*

Nixon admitted in his writings that, while on a political trip
in south america, he punched a little boy in the back of the
head when no one was looking, because the boy was making faces
at him earlier.

and he wrote that he enjoyed it.

let's also not forget the red-baiting and his role in HUAC.

the best you can say is that Nixon was a basically good man led
astray by his own obsessions with power, vengeance, and paranoia.
the watergate and "enemies list" incidents were born out of his
lust for vengence and paranoia that everyone was out to get him.

in other words, he's a perfect example of "power corrupts".

still, he managed to accomplish a few good things as president.
he was a better president than Reagan, and after four years of
our current president, I long for the days of a Nixon. Bob Dole
would have been very much like Nixon, in both the good and bad
ways.

Um, they got real communists who had infiltrated
the government with that one. Perhaps you're
thinking of the McCarthy Senate hearings. Two
very different things.

Here's the timeline:

http://history.sandiego.edu/gen/20th/coldwarspies.html

BTW, only one of the Hollywood "blacklist" ever
renounced his communist background. Several admitted
and maintained proudly that they had been communists
who had conspired against the US (thus confessing to
illegal acts), but that they had been *persecuted*,
because they didn't think that what they did should
have been illegal.

This argument rarely works in court for any crime.

You have managed to leap from "The HUAC got real spies" to implying
that everybody they went after was committing real illegal acts and
almost made it sound like it made sense.

There are some real leaps of logic in there. Do you really want to go

This argument is posited in a series of lies. The HUAC did little or
nothing. There political hard work acomplished nothing of value. Their
best efforts were to elect more Nixons.

As to the extremely odd view that believing in communism makes you a
criminal. I believe in "boB", that doesn't make me a criminal, just smart.
According to the constitution you can believe what you like its your actions
that lead to crime. Most spies for Russia did it for the money, ideolouge
had nothing to do with it.

Face it, communism in America was beaten by the liberals. It was liberals
that drove commies out of unions and liberals like Humphrey who drew a line
in the sand. You right wingers kept behind McCarthy's coat tails. Oh,

No, what you just wrote is the leap of logic.

There is a difference between those that HUAC
investigated, most of whom were worthy of
investigation, and those that were both
indicted and convicted. HUAC *didn't*
prosecute a bunch of people it *could* have
prosecuted under the law at that time. What
the Hollywood 19 did *was illegal* at the time.

It is important to remember that HUAC was not
a criminal court. If it uncovered evidence,
then that evidence was turned over to a grand
jury--if HUAC voted to do so. If someone was
tried and convicted and sentenced to prison,
like Alger Hiss, they were done so by a jury,
not congress.

The Hollywood 19 were never "blacklisted" by
HUAC, they were "blacklisted" by their peers
in Hollywood. So in a sense, they got away
scott free.

Last but not least, remember that this was a
bipartisan effort, the rousting of communists
from the government *and* from positions where
they tried to influence the public. Democrats
and Republicans, both Dick Nixon and Robert
Kennedy, were attorneys hired to hunt down and
squish Stalin's fifth column operating in the
US.

And they *were* operating in the US, and trying
to both subvert US foreign and domestic policy,
and gathering intelligence to send to Moscow,
and trying to influence the public against anti-
communist sentiments. None of this is in dispute.

So, why do you feel compelled to defend such utter
traitorous assholes as these people? Individuals
who stole atomic secrets, who threatened the
complete nuclear annihilation of your parents even
before you had a chance to be born. These were not
nice people, and it's a damn good thing that Ronald
Reagan defeated them.

Oh, c'mon. You aren't even trying to refute or

is bullshit, and you call me bullshit. When, in
fact, you have NOTHING to support your arguments.

That makes you the one who is full of bullshit.

liberal.

Jesus fucking Christ. Those assholes are responsible
for killing from 75-100 million people and you are
defending them? That's some fucked up shit.

And the sickest part about it is that they are still
doing it. Still killing people. Starving millions

This was what the media tried to get the public to believe about him,
and they did it very successfully. The fact was that everyone WAS out
to get him. What Nixon was was a naive uncompromising idealist. He just
didn't get that those who backed him had ulterior motives or an agenda
of their own. He didn't believe that just because someone financially
backed his campaign he owed them any favors. In his mind you backed a
candidate because you believed that he was the best man to do what a
president should do: lead the country with the best interests of the
people in mind, not because you wanted political favors.

With an attitude like that, and its inevitable repercussions, who WOULDN'T
be paranoid and defensive? Even just having to work with J. Edgar Hoover
would make ME paranoid. And given his attitude why wouldn't he want
vengeance on those who sought to destroy him because they couldn't make
him bend to their will? To him they were scum; a corrupting influence, and
a threat to the country.

I wonder what his most vocal detractors would have done in that
environment.

IT WAS A MOVIE. Suddenly you KNOW THE TRUTH which is THE EXACT OPPOSITE

You don't know that that movie was inaccurate. Given that it was made
long after the events it portrayed it was no doubt much less biased,
much more fair to those involved, than accounts that were given at
the time.

True, it was a movie, but we're not talking about "The Spy Who Loved Me"
or "Jaws" or "This Island Earth."

So when we look at this post and your other post together we see that
"Nixon" challenges the beliefs that YOU are predisposed to have about
events of the time. Tell me, how exactly did you gain your impression
of those times back then? Were you employed in the White House? Did
you have some other form of special access to those directly involved,
or are you going by what you were told by the news media, like the rest

No we don't see that at all. We see that the single statement of yours
which I quoted differs from the impressions I got from my own
experience. That's all.

I saw hippies who could see nothing right about Nixon and hardhats who
could see nothing wrong with Nixon, and I could tell they were
expressing their EMOTIONS and ignoring any facts which did not agree
with their preconceptions. I never felt any emotions about him myself
and could tell he was as complex an individual as anyone else, and a
damn sight more complex than most. I listened to what people said and
reserved judgment. If that makes me "brainwashed by the MEEEDIA," okay.


>

Nothing.

When people make a movie, they present the characters and situations in
a way which creates the story they want to tell. They try to make an
interesting and compelling entertainment. The entire life and career
and personality of a person cannot be crunched down into a few hours.
What you get from a movie is a fictional character, made up of tiny bits
of the real person's life. You do not get the truth, you get a fiction.
I can see you feel a connection of some kind with the fictional
character you watched for a few hours, but that was not Richard Nixon.
It was a character in a movie.

I have never said it was inaccurate. A movie which is a couple of hours
long, depicting events which took decades to occur in real life,
necessarily selects only a tiny percentage of the things which really
happened. The events which were depicted, even if every one of them
happened exactly as depicted, were selected by the filmmakers to present
the characters in a way which would tell the story they wanted to tell.
I DO doubt that the few hours of fiction you saw were "less biased" than
the hundreds of thousands of hours of factual reporting on the life and
activities of the real person throughout his career. Your impression
that only or mostly negative statements were made about the man during
his life may be the result of your admitted lack of attention the the
events as they occurred. It wasn't really that way.

>

That is a specious or irrelevant comparison. A dramatic movie "based
on fact" is as much a movie as one which is entirely imaginary. It is a
drama, a fiction, not a documentary, NOT REALITY. You NEVER SAW Richard
Nixon. You saw an actor, a British actor at that, pretending to be
Nixon, reciting lines from a script written for the purpose of creating
a specific impression of that character. I'm glad you liked the movie,
but it wasn't reality.

Always happy when someone confirms that I am not a critic. My sole
presumption is that a couple of hours of drama differs significantly
from decades of real life.

And the story they wanted to tell could very well have been an
historically accurate account of what happened. A several hour
long movie can have the advantage of being able to summarize events
which spanned many years, allowing the viewer to keep disparate
events in mind more easily. Also, in the case of a movie that is
made about events of decades ago, those who were involved in those
events are more likely to be candid about them. Time heals all wounds,
etc.

I never meant to say that I lacked attention to the events as they took
place; they were thrust in our faces daily, not only by the news media,
but also by every entertainer on television back then. What I had meant
was that my deepest impression of Nixon was brought about by his ending
the war in Viet Nam, and the constant bombardment of Nixon jokes, taunts,
and tirades made by famous entertainers on television. My guess is that
they had to scramble for new material once they didn't have him to kick
around any more.

What makes you think that I liked the movie? In fact I disliked it
intensely. I especially disliked the psuedo-psychedelic overlays,
for instance in the scene where Nixon confronted the director of
the CIA, and they overlaid time-lapse shots of flowers blossoming.
It was very distracting and bizarre.

Of course it does. One difference is guaranteed to be the length of
time each takes. But that's the only difference that is guaranteed.

there's no such thing as historical accuracy, particularly in a MOVIE.

the reason why "history" and "story" resemble each other orthographically,
and in fact the french word "histoire" means "story" and not "history", is
because that's what a history is: a story. a retelling of selected events,
either documented or remembered. and there is *always* a bias.

I felt that way when I saw him on the evening news. Any American who
can make the CHINESE smile like he did was obviously quite capable and

Besides, anyone standing on the side of Order at all would have looked

No doubt a reference to Mao's 1957 "let a thousand flowers bloom"
speech, or possibly to the little flower girl in the 1964 Johnson vs
Goldwater race, or maybe they're opium poppies (CIA/Laos - get it?)

Oliver Stone is one of the most agenda-laden directors in cinematic
history. "Could very well have been" ain't IS and you know it. He
made you fall in love with the fantasy Nixon he created and THAT'S
GREAT. If you avoid learning any other viewpoints or facts about the
real guy you can preserve that love for a long time. Don't read any of
the Watergate Tape Transcripts especially. Those are mostly the
foulmouthed scheming old-time political machine operator Nixon, who
might dispel your "naive idealist" image of him.

So then none of us should make any judgments at all about anything that
we didn't personally witness. After all, what is the news but a story,
as in "news story?" Since you had an opinion about Nixon earlier I guess
you must've been a fly on the wall in the White House, eh?

You say that you read "his writings" and that in them he punched some kid
in the back of the head. From that one incident you've developed a
complete personality profile of the man. Didn't your parents ever smack
you for getting out of line? Hell I've had teachers that did that. Back
in those days corporal punishment of children, even ones not our own,
was considered acceptable.

Have you ever noticed that people LOVE to believe the worst about other
people? Just listen to some gossip at work some time, or people's
opinions of Micheal Jackson or O. J. Simpson, etc. They have no fucking
clue as to what *actually* happened, they just go by what they're told
and their imaginations (and those imaginings are usually based on what
they imagine themselves doing in the same situations).

I just didn't want to get the fuck into it.

I really can't stand these stupid political arguments, because they
always go the same way, and there is nothing that will change that.
As I think nenslo said recently, you can go on arguing back and forth
forever but when it comes to True Beliefs you aren't going to budge
the other person one inch.

You've already taken recourse to accusing me of being a liberal
fanatic before I've even argued ANYTHING. Godwinned before it even
began. It really tells you all you need to know, that is the thread
that is about to happen in a nutshell. Nothing further to see here
folks, move along now. It doesn't matter what I say, how clearly
presented it is, or whether I am nice, cuttingly sarcastic,
artillery-strike aggressive, or whatever approach I take. I am one of
THEM and I am WRONG and you really aren't going to see anything I say
any more than a pinball machine sees the ball bouncing around inside
it, but to bounce it back with a spin on it.

Your brain has gone PINK, Dornobbo.

Not because it's right-wing bullshit, but because it's bullshit. You
can pigeonhole me as a liberal if you want, that's what pinks do, they
pigeonhole the world into neat tidy pigeonholes so they can go on
believing something dumb without having to think about whether it's
dumb or not. Whether you want to believe it or not I'm not a
knee-jerk liberal, certainly not in the way you seem to be implying.
I am a liberal in as much as I think the fundamental job of any
government is primarily to protect the freedom of the people in it,
and everything else is secondary to that.

But that's not really what you mean by liberal. I assume you mean
something which kind of vaguely implies people who are opposed to the
military and I guess Hillary Clinton fits in to your definition of
"liberal" somewhere and so I am somehow kinda ... part of HER KIND ...
or something ... and there was this guy once you argued with who was
in favor of gun control and he was SO STUPID and I am probably one of
HIS KIND somewhere in your definition of liberal ... your use of
"liberal" in general seems to cover a lot of ground from what I've
seen of it.

I know I'm critical of right wing stuff more often than left wing
stuff, but really I think right wing stuff is more completely
addle-nogginned more often then left wing stuff. There is certainly
left-wing stuff that I think is addle-nogginned.

In the fifties the words "liberal" and "egghead" were more or less
interchangeable, and that tells you something. The "right wing" has
always been characterized by a kind of automatic unquestioning
patriotism, and certainly in the fifties they had not noticed yet how
embarrassing it was to imply that "eggheads" ... i.e., people who
actually -think- about issues rather than automatically taking the
most patriotic stance ... are necessarily just wrong on general
principles.

The "right wing"' really -is-, then and now, characterized by a
willingness to act without thinking. So it doesn't strike me as
strange at all that I would more frequently find them to be comical
and insane. Neither does it strike me as evidence that I
automatically paint history in "good liberal" terms.

***

But none of that is to the point. I really didn't want to get into an
argument that I know will turn stupid and circular but oh well. You
argue this stuff without any humor, unless there is some subtle humor
you are seeing that is at some pitch that only hummingbirds can hear.
Fine, let's get in a long idiotic argument.

First let's recall that this started with somebody else mentioning
Nixon's involvement in HUAC as a negative point on Nixon.

Regardless of all the weird tangents you've flow off on, that is still
the context of this conversation.

One of the easiest ways to tell that a covnersation has flown off into
the irrational is how quickly the subject changes. When people are
arguing something they can't think clearly about they start throwing
things in that -feel- connected without any attempt to establish if it
is or isn't logically connected. If both sides have gone nuts then
the original topic is quickly forgotten. They run through their
emotional associations quickly until they get to the top of the
ladder, the most emotional association which connects to them in
whatever way with the original topic.

That's what Godwin's law is, really. It doesn't matter where you
start out; arguing about computers, politics, music, frop. YOu could
be arguing about what the best shampoo for dogs is. You always end up
at the same place.

My favorite example so far is when you jumped from a discussion of
Nixon's involvement in the HUAC to talking about how many people "the
communists" murdered.

Is there a -direct- connection between Nixon, HUAC, and blacklists;
adn those murders? No, of course not. Is there an -indirect-
connection? Definitely.

The difference though between rational and irrational is whether you
actually establish that connection. There are certainly ways you
could connect them, some more sensible and some less.

And if you had, you would still be involved in a discussion, rather
than a self-righteous tirade.

But you have worked yourself up beyond that point already. Not only
aren't you trying to establish a connection, your whole point is that
you don't need to; and that I shouldn't need to either. Anything
associated with communism is associated with the slaughters of Stalin,
Mao and Pol Pot (by six degrees of separation or less) so it is the
same whether it is connected in any logical way or not. Nice. You
should try fundamentalist xtianity next; you're almost there.

That was the most interesting one, but going back to the thread
chronologically.

The OP referred to Nixon's involvement in HUAC disparagingly. You
replied with a defence of HUAC, specifically of the blacklist.

In response I told you I could see leaps of logic in what you said,
and asked if you really wanted me to go into it. Because I really
didn't want to get into it but I just can't stand seeing a bunch of
leaps of logic presented as if it meant something.

You then posted six paragraphs in response to, I guess, what you
thought I was saying. I don't know, it was a complete non-sequiter.
Which, again, is why I hate getting into these emotionally-charged
political things. You get reams and reams of "kinda-related" stuff
that doesn't even connect but because the other person isn't thinking
anymore you have to reply to it.

By your next reply it had sunk in that I hadn't actually said anything
yet, which is true. You decided this was because I am a liberal
fanatic, despite that I told you exactly why I didn't respond already.

So getting back, again, to the original point; Nixon, the HUAC, and
the blacklists.

Yes, the HUAC and the FBI got real spies, as the article you linked to
points out.

The KGB were running spies and it is part of the spying game that one
finds them and deports or shoots them.

But then this paragraph:

>BTW, only one of the Hollywood "blacklist" ever
>renounced his communist background. Several admitted
>and maintained proudly that they had been communists
>who had conspired against the US (thus confessing to
>illegal acts), but that they had been *persecuted*,
>because they didn't think that what they did should
>have been illegal.

you have managed to make a number of wild leaps.

>only one of the Hollywood "blacklist" ever
>renounced his communist background

YOu seem to be implying by this that the rest were "unrepentant
communists", or something, I guess. It doesn't follow that the others
-were- communists but that is what you are implying.

In addition, you are implying that the spies; real, KBG spies; and
the 'communists' are interchangeable. That's nonsense. More on that
later.

>Several admitted
>and maintained proudly that they had been communists
>who had conspired against the US

In the previous sentence you are implying that the blacklistees were
all communists (otherwise, as a defence of HUAC, it makes no sense).
But now "several" "admitted" they were communists.

>(thus confessing to
>illegal acts)

Here and later you are using the fact that these acts "were illegal"
as a defence of HUAC.

Of course what HUAC did was legal at the time. What McCarthy did was
legal at the time he did it. What Eichmann did was legal at the time
he did it.

That's how governments work, they -can- make laws in support of what
they want to do. They -have to-.

It's absurd to defend HUAC on the grounds that what they did was
"legal at the time".

It's not even worth mentioning; if the government did it, it's a
tautology that it was legal at the time.


The primary thing that pisses me off about the whole thing, the way it
was done at the time and the defences of it now, is the way anybody
who "was a communist" is equated with real spies and KGB agents.

From the thirties through the sixties (mostly excluding the war years)
a lot of western Europeans and Americans were inpired by the ideal of
communism.

Much like the original ideal of a Republic/Democracy, what inspired
them was the idea of a world where there was no inequality, injustice
or oppression.

They really believed that the Soviets had attained this ideal. They
were wrong, but it wasn't an unrealistic belief, the Soviets presented
themselves that way.

Regardless of whether they were right or wrong though, it was a
perfectly valid political belief.

Supposedly, the whole idea of "liberty" (which, ironically, is always
the first word that those opposed to political freedom use in
defending their excesses) and the whole point of a democracy is that
people are free to form their own political ideas.

But in the HUAC years -being- a communist was a crime.

I agree totally that where people were performing illegal acts they
were rightly punished. But to say, ina democracy, that simply being
a member of a particular political party is a crime is madness and
completely opposed to the supposed idea of liberty.

And that's a part of what HUAC was.

Those ideals, whether people called them "communism" or not, have had
a large effect on the world today, and in many ways for the better.
The modern US government is very much influenced by socialist ideals.
the existence of unions and all forms of public support are part of
that.

I agree with a lot of the criticisms of that socialist side of our
government, but I don't doubt that if it hadn't been for those
influences we would live today in a world where the rich and the poor
were much more sharply and unjustly divided, a world much more like
the world which Marx decried.

I think the OP was right when he said that it was really the liberals
who brought down the Soviets.

Communism was always most popular where the oppression in a country
was worst; where the few ruled the many like medieval lords.

Without that injustice, communism loses much of it's momentum and
popular appeal.

It was -because- the west had selectively co-opted those aspects of
socialism that the voters felt most urgent, that there was no longer
the obvious line where you have oppressed, starving peasants on one
side and communist equality and justice on the other.

The western world was no longer evil enough to give the Soviets their
Emannuel Goldstein.


Which is not really meant to be a pro-communist view. I have never
really been in favor of communism, even when I was growing up and
being pro-communist was the hip thing to do. It was clear enough that
communist states were, in practice, totalitarian. Beyond that, the
collective, communal idea of communism is not appealing to me. It
doesn't inspire in anybody a sense of the grandiose. I disliked
communism on -aesthetic- grounds. for the record I guess.

Your arguments are weaker than hell, and vacillate
between insulting, ingratiating, creating false and
insipid axioms and paradoxes, mis-stating what has
been said, and general rambling.

Is that what being a liberal means to you? I have
never equated liberals with "eggheads", and if they
had pretenses, calling themselves "intellectuals",
they were self-appointed, or called so by their
peers. In fact, that is where the derogatory term
of "pseudo-intellectual" came from, popular in the
1960s.

If anything, I think of liberals as being little
different from their forebears, who first supported
the keeping of slaves, which they themselves couldn't
afford, for the most part, but to insure that there
was a class of person lower than they to despise.

After slavery was ended, less by a "Republican" than
by a "classicalist", Lincoln, these ancestors of
liberals became the hate-filled segregationists and
anti-immigrant Klansmen.

Not restricted to the American South, however, in the
North they embraced Calvanism, and began to deplore
the behavior of the southerner, looking instead to
lord it over, and feel good ministering to the needs
of the black. Again seeking the feeling of superiority,
where none existed, they became closer to what the
modern liberal had become.

And yet no matter what minority they embraced as
backward and in need of being controlled and taken care
of, in exchange for fealty, these people eventually
demanded their own individual freedom and success,
which hurt the modern liberal to the bone. Like bad
children who curse their parents, for example, the
NAACP expelled all the white liberals from its ranks.

So once again, liberals have come full circle. Filled
with hate at those they despise as their lessers. And
convinced of their own superiority, even as their house
is burned down around them because of their incompetence.

What is left to them but hate? When their solution to
humiliating defeat is to embrace what caused their
downfall? To radicalize further? It is a path to
madness.

That's right Zapanaz, and remember they have not stopped the killing,
as nu-nazi keeps reminding us, I think "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"
at one point organized the ritual executions of hundreds of Fox TV
viewers at a tail-gate party, and that is not even a fraction of the
mortal toll collected by "Everybody Loves Raymond" -- thank Dobbs they
cancelled it before the slaughter got worse.

Anyway, Richard Nixon began the era of fiat money and US Dollar
Hegemony that sent the US on the road to its current trade deficit
crisis, under the weight of which your economy and is currently, and
spectacularly, collapsing, inspiring your ruling elite into desperate
acts of foreign adventurism and dangerous geostrategical games you can
not win in the long run.

Does someone smell something?

Has nu-nazi been around?

Anyone seen a creepy little guy with a little mustache sneaking around
here? The smell is unmistakable, like the breath of a slug that has
been living on chicken shit and toilet water. He is usually in a state
of hysteria shouting "commie commie kill kill kill."

If you see him, keep a good distance, and avoid his drool and ever
present urine puddle at all costs.

Should contact occur, immediately contact HellPopeHuey for scrubbing.

Deliberately erroneous conclusion intended to make the opponent's

Misdirection - the subject being discussed is a movie, not a news story.

Deliberate and false absurdity intended to make opponent's point seem ridiculous.
These are all examples of dishonest discourse, the type of "argument"
people put up when they have no valid basis for contention.

If this is intended to support your claim that it is possible to draw an
historically accurate image of a person's career and character (which
image as stated by you shows little resemblance to fact) from seeing an
actor portraying that person, it is INSANE.

This conflicts with your own apparent desire NOT to believe the worst
about a person, based on a movie you saw about him which led you to
completely reverse your previous views.

THEY HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, THEY JUST GO BY
WHAT THEY WERE TOLD. Which is different from seeing a movie about what happened.

No, what was being discussed was a STORY, as in HISTORY. Talisman
changed the focus of what was being discussed. I realize that you
want to argue with me more than nearly anything else in the world,
but there are more people than just you and I involved in this
discussion. This discussion does NOT revolve around you.

I was not misdirecting; I was making the point that the news
is a story just as much as a movie is. Unless you're trying to
say that "Nixon" was a complete LIE; that NONE of the events
depicted in it ever happened, then the comparison holds.

We were told "stories" by both newscasters and entertainers
about the wrongdoings of Nixon. If it is acceptable for
people to make judgments based on those stories, then it
should be equally acceptable for me to make judgments
based on a movie.

You yourself claim to have not made judgments about Nixon,
but then Talisman and I are not talking about you, as much
as you would LIKE us to.

You're stretching here. You know very well that "a fly on the wall"
is merely an expression which means "having special and secret access
to a conversation in which the candidness of the speakers can be assured,"
and is not generally intended to make one's point seem ridiculous.

The first sentence is not a false claim, and the second one is what I
inferred from the first. Again, you're being obtuse in order to support
your "point," which of course is dishonest discourse, the type of
"argument" that people put up when they have no valid basis for
contention.

It was intended to discount HIS implicit claim that a person can be judged as
bad, based solely on one anecdote. Surely, if my judgment of a person,
based on a three hour long movie about him cannot be valid, then Talisman's
judgment cannot be as well. TEN FOLD.

Unlike you with your endless nonsense, I can justify why I call you a
Nazi.

Each one of these statements and many more Nazi traits of yours can be
proven by citing your own words.

Top 10 reasons why YOU ARE a Nazi.

10- you are motivated by hatred, not by any engagement with actual
arguments or people.

9- your arguments are based upon fallacy and personal
characterizations, unsubstantiated labels you place on others in order
to justify your hatred.

8- your are humourless.

7- you characterize any issue as "us" versus "them," including anyone
you hate in the "them" category and glorifying violence against "their
kind."

6- you question the legitimacy of the belonging of the target of your
hatred based upon your unsubstantiated labeling.

5- you glorify violence against people for expressing their opinions.

4- you ignore what the target of your hatred actually says, you never
cite their arguments, instead you mindlessly spew yet more hatefull
invective.

3- you are constantly trying create unsubstantiated connections
between who are you arguing with and some outside party, for the
purposes of justifying hatred and ignoring the actual arguments
presented.

2- you present a biased and ignorant view of history to justify your
hatred.

1- you endlessly repeat the same defeated arguments over and over
again, only adding more name calling and invective as if increasing
your hatred somehow makes a point.

> I've lots of relatives who fought the Nazis

How ironic then that you should be such a dedicated Nazi coward then,

A news story, or rather many hundreds of thousands of news stories in
the case of Richard Nixon, serves an entirely different purpose from
that served by a movie. They are two different TYPES of things. It is
an error to treat them as if they are the same. This is your
fundamental error in this entire discussion.

The reporting of facts in a news story is not the same as a story told
by an entertainer. It is perfectly acceptable for you to make judgments
on any basis whatsoever. A judgment based on facts is different from
one based on entertainment. It is your fundamental error throughout
this discussion to assert that your judgment, based on entertainment, is
as accurate as, or more accurate than, one based on fact.

Since you already knew that the answer to that question must necessarily
be "no," the question was asked for the sole purpose of raising a
spurious objection to the opponent's knowledge or qualifications.

There is no such thing as an "implicit claim." That is a false
attribution of an idea, which was your creation, to your opponent. Your
judgment was not of a person, but of an actor portraying that person,
reciting lines from a script written to portray the person in a specific
manner. You were not watching factual reporting, you were watching a movie.

And so, of course, you know of the SubGenius doctrine
that those who call others "pink" are clearly ID'ed
as "pink" themselves.

Which would make sense, you pinko.

Which, by the way, refers to a communist such as
yourself. A communist who really, truly needs to
experience life in a workers' paradise some day.

Your self reflection is admirable. However this is your most

Just writing "More Nazi spew from a sick individual" as a place holder
is not nearly as entertaining as when you demonstate what a sick

famous for. Don't worry about endlesssly repeating yourself with the

Good nu-nazi, no need for you to read them, since you are unlikely to

No nu-nazi, you are not expected to read any of my posts, so long as

This one has it all, complete detachment from anything external to your

I think its time we moved on in our experiment, while making nu-nazi
jump through hoops like a trained dog has been great fun and all, he's
such a stupid mutt, perhaps we may want to take a closer look, after
all, we don't see a specimen quite as demented as this everyday.

The is an opportunity to make a contribution to the great science of
idiotology.

So, my fellow great men and women of the arts and sciences, let us
investigate, I present to you nu-nazi.

We find him here, as usual, talking to himself since one of his
remarkable forms of dementia is the inability to understand than not
everybody around him shares his views. He is consumed with hatred, so
he assumes that all around him are too. He is dedicated to fascism, so
he assumes all around him are too.

First, I will engage him in some polite conversation, then ask him some
questions, in the interest of research.

nu-monet v7.0 wrote:

> Stop endorsing genocide.

Good nu-nu! Yes, endorsing genocide is wrong. Very good!

Now, relax, relieve yourself in your pants as you normally do, and
listen carefully: When you group people together in blanket
generalizations, and then glorify their exclusion, torture and murder,
what you are endorsing is genocide. This is a primary characteristic of
fascism. In fact the label, "communist," you seem to use in exactly the
same way that Hitler did, to mean anybody who criticizes the right of
the elite to subjugate an underclass.

> Admit the Holocaust.

Good nu-nu! That's right! It was people who held exactly the same
beliefs that you hold that perpetuated this great crime against
humanity we call "the holocaust," in which members of my family where
displaced and murdered.

The methods of the murderers where exactly the same as yours, using
hatefull rhetoric and criminalizing beliefs, justifying hatred of
people based on arbitrary characterizations, their favourite, like
yours, was "communist."

Hitler loved to portray his enemies as "communists," which he believed
was indistinguishable from jewishness, in fact he frequently used the
term "judeo-communists" in denouncing the targets of his Hatred.

But enough of this, we have already firmly established your devotion to
Fascism, and the fact that you are indistinguishable from Hitler, now
it's time to move on.

nu-nu, since like your idol Adolf Hitler, you image yourself a great
believer in (so-called) "freedom" and love to explain the superiority
of your nation,
I have two questions for you, regarding the state of freedom in
America.

Since America is the "land of the free," why does the USA have the
highest per-capita prison population in the world? One that is three
times higher than the so-called "axis of evil" countries.

And While there is no doubt that African-Americans have made great
contributions to the wealth of America, why is it that despite making
up only 13% of the Population, they represent over 65% of those
admitted to state prisons?

Do you see a problem here? A systemicly racist police state perhaps?

I'm not going to go into the "why" of it,

but commit some 60% of the murders. Thus, Blacks are 10x's

A couple of follow-up questions.

Why do you think it is, do you believe that Blacks have a racial
predisposition to murder? What percentage of the victims are Black? Why
is it that in 1926 Blacks only made up 21% of the prison population?

You are an econometricist, could you give me the statics correlated
against poverty, instead of Race, and see if it corresponds better with
historical and international regressions?

You've read some Proudhon, you should understand how private ownership
of land makes poverty hereditary.

One out of every 142 Americans is in prison - and this does not include
military prisons or INS jails.

Some "land of the free."

It is, as I said, a systematicly racist police state. Open your eyes.

You might call it the American holocaust, only that already happened

Could the lack of a genocide against them in those top five economies
have something to do with it?

Before WWII what percentage of Jews lived in poor countires like Poland
and the Ukraine?

I'm glad you acknowledge that the african-american culture is the most

So much that even the language of racists is influenced by it.

50 million schvartes a year are dying between famine, AIDS, and war,

Is this some fantasy you are sharing with us?

Thankfully nu-nazi has never touched me, if you want to wrestle with
him, joke and "glurpg," he's all yours.

If you go for the Nazi type, perhaps you may want include KönigPruß
too, since you seem to be bending over backwards to ingratiate yourself
with the hatefilled, violence loving and intolerant crowd.

After they agree on wether it is the Jews, The Blacks, or The
"Communists" they would kill first, you can help them blow off some
pent-up frustration with some quick, clumbsy, angry, cold, sex.

It would help them though, might dampen their murderous fever.

I'm a little surprised you'd be into it, but hey, I admire the mercy.

By the way, I guess you missed my comment regarding Richard Nixon and
the US Dollar. This really the key to understanding his legacy. Which
is, as of today, a US Dollar worth .77 Euros, and falling, with no end
in sight.

Sorry for the tangent, but since this thread has been crossposted to
sci.econ, I though I'd add some relevant content.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

What is it you are trying suggest here Artemia?

Mississippi Goddam
Nina Simone, 1963

The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam
And I mean every word of it

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Can't you see it
Can't you feel it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

This is a show tune
But the show hasn't been written for it, yet

Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last

Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here
I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer

Don't tell me
I tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there so I know
They keep on saying "Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble
"do it slow"
Washing the windows
"do it slow"
Picking the cotton
"do it slow"
You're just plain rotten
"do it slow"
You're too damn lazy
"do it slow"
The thinking's crazy
"do it slow"
Where am I going
What am I doing
I don't know
I don't know

Just try to do your very best
Stand up be counted with all the rest
For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

I made you thought I was kiddin'

Picket lines
School boy cots
They try to say it's a communist plot
All I want is equality
for my sister my brother my people and me

Yes you lied to me all these years
You told me to wash and clean my ears
And talk real fine just like a lady
And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie

Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you any more
You keep on saying "Go slow!"
"Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble
"do it slow"
Desegregation
"do it slow"
Mass participation
"do it slow"
Reunification
"do it slow"
Do things gradually
"do it slow"
But bring more tragedy
"do it slow"
Why don't you see it
Why don't you feel it
I don't know
I don't know

You don't have to live next to me
Just give me my equality
