Broder's Bizarre Non Sequitur
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/03/2008 11:44:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Wha-h-h-h? This has to go down as one of the stranger non sequiturs from a pundit of national standing. Responding to a study that concludes that burgeoning multiculturalism threatens national unity, David Broder takes solace in the fact that 34 years ago, the American body politic booted Richard Nixon from office.

In his column of today, One Nation No More?, Broder comments on the study, E Pluribus Unum, recently released by the The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

Reminds me of some of the stuff Grandpa Simpson says.

Lisa: How are you grandpa?
Abe Simpson: Well, when you ask that question, you're really asking two questions, aren't you? And to answer the first part of your question, I have to go back to 1922. Harding was president then, and he liked to wear an onion on his belt. It was the style at the time. Anyway ...

Sorry, Mark .. there IS no explanation.

Come to think of it ... it’s surprising his opening about Jefferson didn’t go on to say “and two centuries later, the Republic was saved by Ben Bradlee, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.” The WaPo really DOES think they saved the Republic for all time by exposing the Nixon Administration’s crimes.

I wonder what Nixon was sfter in the Watergate.. Looking at the democrat party today he must have known "something" then.. You know that the democrat party was a party of traitors.. Nixon surely knew the democrats were domestic poltical spies.. looking to change the republic into a democracy.. I'll bet he was after proof..

For there is too much evidence these days that the whole party is Anti-American and has an agenda to CHANGE America politically standing the Constitution on its head.. And it looks like the republican party has been penetrated and demolished by stealth democrats.. stealing the Grand OLd Partys False Teeth.. As John McLaim GUMMS his way toward the Presidency and whisles when he speaks....

Broder is beginning to resemble Jimmy Carter, physically and intellectually.

If we didn't have a complicit media trying like hell to prop them up, liberals railing on about their irrelevant 40-year-old agenda would be regarded as goofy old geezers like Abe there.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I began reading Broder's article and saying yes this is absoluely true, this study is right on target, when suddenly this non sequitur came out of nowhere and blind sided me.

It's like waking up in a parallel universe..."Hello, where did this come from? One minute I was reading about our failure to teach our children about the history of our government and suddenly Richard Nixon comes floating by."

Broder really is a Leftist Democrat (oh, but I repeat myself) political hack...and getting more and more senile by the moment.

Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that
One little table that you left us
And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor

I pulled the head off Elvis
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you

This is a favorite tactic of the contortionists on the left. They twist and turn to steer the conversation or written matter in a direction that allows them to take a swipe at a Republican. To their mind, it makes sense. The rest of the world is going, "Huh?"

Thanks for watching Bizzaro World, Mark. The pundits of national standing are more like stand up comedians every day.
