J. Edgar Moyers (Moyers was J. Edgar Hoover's Toady)

One of the darker periods of modern American history was J. Edgar Hoover's long reign over the FBI, as we have learned since he died in 1972. So it is more than a historical footnote to discover new records showing that prominent public television broadcaster Bill Moyers participated in Hoover's exploits. ...

Wall Street Journal reveals that Bill Moyers wasn't the saint he wants everyone to think he is. He was actively involved in the LBJ administration and with J. Edgar Hoover in digging up dirt on political opponents and falsely trying to link them to homosexual behavior, proving what we already know: that Bill Moyers is a typical liberal dirtbag who willingly digs in the gutter trying to tarnish an opponent.

Go to the comments following the article and add some ratings for the good comments. Some liberals have rated the good comments very low.

Sounds like Bill has a bad case of homophobia...

Memories are short in Washington, and Mr. Moyers has gone on to promote himself as a political moralist, routinely sermonizing about what he claims are abuses of power by his ideological enemies. Since 9/11, he has been particularly intense in criticizing President Bush for his antiterror policies, such as warrantless wiretapping against al Qaeda.

Yet the historical record suggests that when Mr. Moyers was in a position of actual power, he was complicit in FBI dirt-digging against U.S. citizens solely for political purposes.

Liberal hypocracy, by a liberal journalist, working for the liberal media.

After wracking my mind for a long while, I still cannot think of anyone more execrable than Bill Moyers.

Amazing what low morals and great ambition will make one do.

Nobody has pointed out the obvious: That Bill Moyers is obviously “homophobic”. Actually, *more* than homophobic. He actively sought to destroy the careers, and even “the lives” of homosexuals, as they would say today.

So Bill Moyers needs to be asked, “Do you still ‘hate’ homosexuals?”

How forgiving is the homosexual community to an individual who, “as a youthful indiscretion”, as Bill Moyers might say, tried to have homosexuals investigated by the FBI, at a time when they might even be found guilty of criminal offenses “for their sexuality”?

Years have passed. Has Bill Moyers shown himself to be contrite for his actions? Has he apologized to the “homosexual community”, for being complicit in their “persecution”?

He is still in denial about it all. Still “in the closet”. Or has he been “outed”?

The past is prelude to the sanctimonious POS Moyers.

And as a further rebuttal Mr. (Saint) Moyers pointed out that he had never worn brown shoes with a blue suit thereby thoroughly discrediting all accusations against him.
He considers the matter closed.
