How would Nixon handle tea baggers?
If Nixon were President, and Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh were leftist critics making the same extreme statements against his administration they routinely make against Obama they’d be in jail. If Nixon was President facing the daily lies and slanders of Fox News they already would have been shut down. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin and god knows how many others would be under arrest for sedition if they were leftist extremists.
Anyone bringing a gun to a protest of President Nixon would be in some dark, dank cell in Guantanamo Bay being subjected to torture. That’s what Nixon would have done if faced with the same level of extreme level of dissent, thinly veiled calls for violent resistance to his rule and revolution, the rapid growth of extreme anti-government militias and the levels of actual violence and death threats that have been directed against liberals, President Obama and Democrats over the last year.</em>
