PBS: Gordin Liddy wanted to kill John Dean & Jeb Magruder
Edited on Mon Aug-11-03 02:29 PM by protect freedom impe
this is a couple weeks old, but never saw it before.

Never heard of the murder plot before, BUT seems to be what
the Repug thugs are capable of.

From break-in to murder: The Watergate plot thickens in 'Plus 30'

"Watergate Plus 30: Shadow of History," which airs tonight on PBS, has already made headlines by claiming Richard Nixon ordered the 1972 break-in of the Democrats' Washington headquarters, but the documentary makes at least one other allegation that surprises even those who were directly involved in the Nixon White House.

John Dean, who was Nixon's counsel, says it's news to him that G. Gordon Liddy allegedly wanted to kill both him and Jeb Magruder, another Nixon aide who revealed damaging facts in the 1973 Watergate hearings that ultimately helped bring down Nixon's presidency. Liddy was a loyal higher-up in the Nixon administration and one of the break-in's organizers.

"I had not heard that before," Dean, in a phone interview, said of the death threats. "I think Gordon Liddy is a psychopath."

2. Mr. Liddy has said
he woud have killed his own grandmother had he so been ordered. He is a certified loon and, of course, a repug hero.

6. That's WHY he is a Repug hero.
They love aurtomatons who would kill thjeir own grandmothers.

Under the right conditions, which are coming, the vast majority of the Dittoheads/Freepers/Brownshirts will do the same, not to their grandmothers, but us.

They will do it without question, thought, remorse, or conscience.

They will do what their Imperial Bushevik Masters tell them to do.

Be ready for the day, which probably won't come for a couple decades, but almost certainly WILL come.

History says so.

4. "I think Gordon Liddy is a psychopath"
Now THERE'S a classic example of redundancy. ;-)

5. Dean is absolutely correct -
Liddy is a psychopath and I'm sure wanted to kill many people. IMO, Liddy & Hunt flubbed the break-in on purpose.

8. Dean's confused
as I understand it, Bill Clinton is the psychopath. Liddy is just a colorful character.

9. At least he's an equal opportunity psychopath.
He also figured "they" might want to whack him, so he stepped forward and suggested it, saying something like "Just tell me which street corner to stand on and when."

Time for the meds.

10. It's well known that Liddy killed rats
in fact, he writes in his autobiography that he was so deathly afraid of them, that he killed and ate one!

12. Also burned the flesh of his hand w/candles at parties.
Hmmmm. Kills small animals needlessly. Plays with fire.

Any shrinks out there think this signifies a pathology?

15. Firestarting and cruelty to animals
If GGL pees the bed he has the classic "triad" of symptoms that a majority of serial killers have in common.

It's not too much of a stretch to believe he has yellow sheets, is it?
