2. Henry Kissinger got Americans killed by advising Nixon...
...to keep the Vietnam War going until after the 1972 election to help win the election (already knowing that the war was lost.)

But in tonight's debate, Kissinger was treated like the ultimate authority on international relations.

4. My thoughts exactly!
But I guess it's "too controversial" to point out that Kissinger is a war criminal. Sucks.

7. My sentiments, exactly.
Since when do Americans kow-tow to mass murderers?



Oops. Almost forgot the ennoblements of St. Ronnie and Milhous the Crook.

10. I thought Barack threw Kissinger into the mix just to show that McAnus' own advisor was saying the
exact opposite of what McAnus was saying. I didn't get any validation of Kissinger from Obama. Did I miss that part? I mean, other than mentioning him as a campaign advisor?

12. He was just throwing it back at him.
Now it's up to the fact-checkers to score that one for Obama.

hint: McCain either lied, or was clueless about CBS' report.

13. Yes... we have to work within the "reality"
that most people have accepted.

The fact that they've been fed a distorted version of reality, I don't think one person could fix... especially not a candidate during an election.
