Have THEY no shame. THEY who? The usual THEY: Liberal Democrats and the MSM.
Before there was the Bush-Lied Dem-Lib-MSM Party intent on destroying a re-elected President and emboldening our enemies while our troops are at war and in harm's way, there was Walter-That's the Way it Ain't in Vietnam-Cronkite and the 3 Major Networks and the Honorable former House colleagues of Ford-Lied about the pardon so let's humiliate him and make him swear under Oath that there was no quid pro quo for the Nixon pardon and force the abandonment of our South Vietnam allies Dem-Lib-McGovern-Frank Church Party.
Two million plus dead South Vietnamese and Cambodians later, the honorable colleagues and weather-beaten old Carl Bernsteins feign respect for a "different kind of Republican" that healed our wounds after Watergate and Vietnam.
Never once mentioning that they lied about the war in Vietnam thus tearing the nation apart that Ford was needed to knit back together.
They pine for the kind of non-Reagan/George W. Bush republican that was content with minority status in Congress in perpetuity and which they could force into losing wars at will due to their shared "realism" in foreign policy.
I wretch.
Former President Gerald Ford deserves all our admiration and respect for his dignity in the battered office.
The media and former democrat colleagues of this honorable man now re-writing out of history the shabby treatment they gave him and the South Vietnamese during that time deserve our utter contempt.
Ford and Kissinger pleaded with the Democrat majority not to cut-off funds to our allies in Vietnam, that were winning at the time by the way, predicting the bloodbath that followed.
All this taking place while the Democrats made Ford the only president ever to testify before Congress. Ford didn't have to agree to testify, but he should never have been asked.
All to the Democrat Party's and their sycophant press's shame.
And I have heard not one person in the press, one republican on the MSM or any reporter on Fox News even, mention what the Dems did in calling Ford a liar about the alleged with no evidence quid pro quo pardon and in cutting off funds against Ford's objection to the South Vietnamese.
Yes, President Ford was an honorable healer. His former democrat colleagues were the same dishonorable dividers then as they are now. And the press then no more told the whole truth then as they do today.
I loathe the MSM and the Dem Party and I despise the alternative media and spineless republicans that, even today, after endless Ford-lied, Reagan was an old fool and Bush-lied, refuse to call them out.
All while the dems, libs and MSM pine for the good ole days of Republicans like Ford, who had a different "tone" and for "different times" when things were "less divisive."
Times were not less divisive then. Its just that now we have:
