G. Gordon Liddy: "The New Yorker finally got it right."
"I don't suppose you've, by any chance, have seen the cover of the latest issue of The New Yorker magazine, which is, you know, a huge thing. It's got Obama in his Muslim dress with a turban, and he's there with his wife. His wife has a "mad at the world" afro, circa 1968, she -- she's got bandoliers and an assault weapon, and there in their fireplace is burning the American flag. The New Yorker finally got it right," - G. Gordon Liddy.

9. I could not care less who he votes for. He's a 'personality'
people listen to; they are the ones I'm concerned about. Him spewing misinformation isn't helpful.

17. G,Gordon Libby is never going to say anything "helpful:"
He's not even speaking to his target audience when he proclaims "The New Yorker is right",his audience would never vote for Obama in this first place. He's speaking to people like you and other Dems who are pissed about the cover and hoping The New Yorker suffers greatly for mimicking the rabid right,he's offering up "see,I told you so" ammunition against a liberal magazine,People like Liddy and Rush are always "helpful" like that.

22. I understand what you're saying

BUT the fact is, he would be spewing misinformation regardless. He didn't need the NY'er cover for ammo. He would take anything in the News and spin it and those same people would be listening to it and it would have the same effect. There aren't 'more' people listening to him because of the cover. And the thing is THOSE people are lost anyways.

The benefit of the cover is though, because this IS all over the news, those undecideds that can go either way are getting a full dose of deprograming of the whisper campaign. The things the media was not addressing and now has to. Their news sources are telling them the rumors are lies ... repeatedly. I can't see that as a bad thing.

23. you are wrong. If every artistic and editorial decision was based on what assholes like Liddy
say or think, we would be the usual cowering, ineffective Democratic losers.

29. No, it's an excellent idea
We need to say to every point he makes that he is an idiot who doesn't know when people are making fun of him. We should call every talk show and make that point. We should send out mass emails and make that point. He shoved his foot in his mouth, and we can laugh at him for it.

8. Good to hear the perspective of criminals jailed for conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping
Edited on Wed Jul-16-08 10:35 AM by nam78_two
Good for Fox News that Carter commuted this creep's 20 year sentence-a criminal makes a good Faux news "analyst".

10. Since I was with a federal law enforcement agency, and since
GGL told his listeners to "fire center mass" on agents who came to their doors, I don't think too kindly of GGL. Later on he told them to forget firing center mass because ATF agents wear body armor, so go for a head shot.

I don't have any warm and fuzzy feelings about GGL. The man should have gone to jail for what he told his listeners to do. Okay, maybe not, but I still hate him.

11. I guess the snake oil business is in decline
G. Gordon Liddy needs press so he can spam more youth serum. Funny how his stuff hasn't helped him any.

19. His fans have no clue as to what The New Yorker is
Nor will they ever vote Democratic.

The net result is zero.
