It speaks volumes as regards mcluhans character that woody would stand in his defence.
The prosecution rests.

If I knew you were dropping by, your name would have been added to that BLOWHARD LIST I compiled a couple posts up in this thread!
Heaven knows how you like to 'toot' Dubya's flute!......![]()

Funny how you and your good-buddy bot (another fellow diver) 'check-in' here at TERB the SAME TIME TONNIGHT!!!!!
Too funny!!!!
Dam Laddie, stop on by my ranch

You seem as befuddled as a Limbaugh lemming!
EVERYONE knows the best 'Blowhards & Fools' populate the 'right' side of the political spectrum.....El Rushblowhard Limbaugh, Faux news, Dubya, Cheney, Jesse Helms, Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, et al., ad nauseum.......
Mac, a gentelman and a scholar, in no way shares the shortcomings of those listed above......![]()

You must be expert at shortcomings since you seem to back Dubya.......lookingforitallthetime said:I'm not surprised you rushed to his defence. You and he share a lot of the same shortcomings.
It must be a treat to live in your deluded world. A world where opinions and ideas are cast into 2 simple categories, pro or anti Bush. Because I have a difference of opinion than you on any topic, I must be pro Bush.WoodPeckr said:You must be expert at shortcomings since you seem to back Dubya.......
basketcase said:I think for woody, the "you support bush" insult is just an updated version of the good ol' schoolyard comeback of last resort. "My dad can beat up your dad!" (while at the same time he complains about the "with us or against us" mentality)
Ah but Don would that make his version more correct?DonQuixote said:Your teacher may have been right.
The books may not have been wrong,
but half truths are just as misleading.
5 historians = 5 versions.
I don't know DonDonQuixote said:He may have!
twas an important part of ours.DonQuixote said:What does self-determination have to do with history?
Or open minded and seek to understand the ideals from which the words came.DonQuixote said:Its been around for a while.
It has a very long history.
Now then, back to the faulty history books.
Self-determination allows for mistakes and
errors. You have the right to be narrow
minded. Its your constitutional right.
neither of which excuses Woody for being a bully and condescendingDonQuixote said:True. History is reading the original documents
and then trying to determine original intent of the
actors as well as the events through the observations
of impartial observers.
Havn't you heard Woody's assessment of the military escalation in Vietnam? According to Woody, it's all Eisenhower's fault. He even skips the 3 years of the Kennedy administration!DonQuixote said:He may have!
and less time reading Michael Moore propaganda.DonQuixote said:Sure it does. He may not be advancing through
the grade levels on schedule. Ever meet a bad
student.
If he said that about DDE I suggest he needs to
spend more time in the library and less time on
TERB.

I agree that 5 different historians can present 5 different versions, but Woody`s version of Vietnam history is unique in exluding events that occurred between 1961 - 1963.
Calling yourself a student of history does not make you one.

Nice try Skippy trying to twist and reinterpret what I`ve said in the MM thread.
Here`s some clarification on that issue on post #41 of that thread:

OH,
For the record it WAS Eisenhower that first got the US into VIET NAM....![]()
That's right he did, with a few hundred military advisors to assist the Diem government's fight against the communists.WoodPeckr said:For the record it WAS Eisenhower that first got the US into VIET NAM....![]()
