Congratulations to @davidhogg111 for successfully taking on Laura Ingraham, who has used her bully microphone for years without consequences. Her attacks on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were racist. Her attack on David Hogg was her natural viciousness & typical of Trump admirers.

1. This is Nixon's John Dean, Watergate felon, and if Laura Ingraham has lost

this guy, she's doomed.

[gratuitous]

2. John Dean got on the side of the angels a LONG time ago

He testified truthfully before Sen. Ervin's committee, took his lumps, served his time, and came out a far better man for the experience.

10. Thanks . I have a better understanding of him now.

9. John Dean is the only White House player who showed any integrity at all. I watched the

Watergate Hearings and he's the only one I didn't despise. You really have the wrong impression of him. Read his stuff--he was very critical of Bush/Cheney, too.

[procon]

11. He slammed Laura Ingraham, that's a good thing.

His redeeming qualities be damned, when Republicans attack their own, that's the only point that mattered, yeah?

[Demit]

27. John Dean is a registered Independent.

[yardwork]

13. John Dean has been calling out Republican criminality for decades.

He's good at it, too.

[Hassler]

15. You don't know history, troll.

[procon]

16. Check yourself.

Argue your point if you have one, read to TOS, but don't make snarky personal attacks, yeah? I'm all for Republicans eating their own, and having Dean smackdown Ingraham is icing on the cake, so don't omit that fact in your tirade.

[certainot]

19. you got him way wrong - he's been sounding the alarm on authoritarians for a long time

but like all political analysts they do it with a total ignorance of the dominating factor known as rw talk radio

[procon]

20. Why did you take that line of attack even when I pointed out his criticism

of Laura Ingraham, a fellow Republican, would doom her? As is surely has, yeah? That said, while I'll never support any Republican (regardless of any purported conversion), when they start attacking their own, I'll happily continue to cheer them on. You, not so much... which is just astounding.

[certainot]

22. if you were familiar with dean you'd know dean would never support laura ingraham

he's old republican, from before the GOP became the party of limbaugh

[procon]

25. Jeebus, stop defending the damned Republicans.

Ingraham lost face when Dean attacked her, and that's nice, but it's not like he's joining any protest march, or calling out his fellow Republicans and voters to condemn those who are shouting the same nastiness that she did.

Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?

[Demit]

28. Really, you should read up on John Dean.

He's been calling out Republicans for years. By name.

Jesus, do some research before spouting off, why don't you.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

29. Yeah, he never calls out republicans

[certainot]

30. what are you talking about? it's really easy - dean is a republican who thinks limbaugh is a

sack of shit

[Mr. Ected]

4. Come on Rush. Just Try It, Sean.

Or what, are you too cowardly to take on the Parkman kids?

[Raster]

5. Limpballs and Inseanity ARE COWARDS, plain and simple.

[certainot]

23. limbaugh has been - calls him "camera hogg"

"are they really natural?
mind numbed robots
they spund like hollywood actors
sound like shumer
armies of bots - ingraham boycott - so camera hog 17 yo has a announced a boycott, they’re all full of themselves -
tommyjohn underwear tommyjohn.com was one of the sponsors of that bit of limbaugh

skulls full of mush
there’s a reason 17 and 18 yo are not ceos
democrat party will use them up and spit them out
it won’t end well for some of these kids who are being made stars

kids manipulated, soros and dem party using them
their protests are just like all the other protests

1.00 skulls full of mush, clinton, mueller, taking away 2nd ammendment rights

7. John Dean is about the only White House official who showed any integrity at all during Watergate.

I remember his testimony with his wife, Mo, in the audience. He was the only one I ended up having any respect for when the dust settled. He knows corruption when he sees it, and he knows despicable people when he sees them.

[Marcuse]

12. Another was Deputy Chief of Staff Alexander Butterfield

He hoped not to be asked about the existence of the tapes, but when asked was truthful.

14. Blind Ambition.

An excellent choice for a book title.

[disndat]

17. John Dean

Hits it out of the ball park for Hogg.

[smirkymonkey]

18. David Hogg has more courage than all of these cowardly right-wing

reporters put together. They are pathetic.

[SweetieD]

21. So proud of all the Parkland students.

[Stuart G]

24. Dean has stated Hogg's success is a special way.

Dean did the same thing in 1973. He took on the someone who used the bully microphone and lied with impunity. That was 45 years ago this summer.

26. Here is a short clip of John Dean's testimony ..in 1973..anyone remember? I do.
