On Hardball, Lawrence O’Donnell handed Pat Buchanan his ass today as he pointed out that Nixon bought Soviet Union leader Brezhnev a new car after the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia in the 70′s. O’Donnell also pointed out Rumsfeld infamous handshake with Saddam Hussein.
Buchanan went on an on about all the great things America did for Central and South America but he conveniently forgot how the CIA assassinated the democratically elected President of Guatemala because he was going to take land back from the United Fruit Company and give it to the peasants.
America is in no way saints. We have used the CIA and our military to help our corporations steal the natural resources of other countries for decades. Yet Buchanan and other asshats are upset because Daniel Ortega ripped on the US and Obama didn’t defend our country. How the phuck do you defend some of the hideous actions our government have done over the years. Iran/Contra, death squads, CIA drug running, assisting in dictators controlling countries.
