Pot eats kettle proclaims it black...and delicious

C&L lays the wood to Gordon Liddy, who FoxNews loves as only FoxNews can love convicted Republican Felons [are you watching Governor Taft -- you better step it up if you want that Roger Aisles love, misdemeanors, is that all you got?].

Here is Liddy proclaiming that Cindy Sheehan is an anti-semite (from an email not written by Sheehan, and now which cannot be found btw).

Here is Gordon Liddy on his hero...

The Fuhrer was G Gordon Liddy's first political hero. Liddy was a sickly, asthmatic child when he grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, in the 1930s. The town was full of ethnic Germans who idolized Hitler. Liddy was made to salute the Stars and Stripes Nazi-style by the nuns at his school; even now, he admits, "at assemblies where the national anthem is played, I must suppress the urge to snap out my right arm." His beloved German nanny taught him that Hitler had -- through sheer will-power -- "dragged Germany from weakness to strength."

This gave Liddy hope "for the first time in my life" that he too could overcome weakness. When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body." He describes seeing the Nazis' doomed technological marvel the Hindenberg flying over New Jersey as an almost religious experience. "Ecstatic, I drank in its colossal power and felt myself grow. Fear evaporated and in its place came a sense of personal might and power."


Here's how he picked his wife:

In his autobiography, Liddy admits that, after reading the writings of the notorious anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh, Liddy decided to pick his wife on eugenic grounds. He held out for "a tall, fair, powerfully built Teuton."


On child-rearing and the Cinema:

He has written, "If any one component of man ought to be exercised, cultivated and strengthened above all others, it is the will; and that must have one objective -- to win." He used to take his kids to see Leni Reifenstahl's Nazi propaganda movie 'The Triumph of the Will.'




Now, who is the anti-semite?
