"...in which Spiro Agnew referred to members of the media as 'an effete core of impudent snobs...'" No. Agnew was referring to protesters. Your text is misleading.
Very interesting comments. Were one not fully apprised of the situation that was actually occurring during the Nixon Administration, one might be tempted to believe that Agnew really knew what he was talking about. He was certainly correct to a degree, but being that while reaching incorrect conclusions does not make one correct in the final analysis. Even if well-meaning, Nixon was an avowed fascist who routinely trampled the rights of Americans. Spiro T. Agnew was a favored attack dog.
This Fucks predisposition to the use of drugs as a "loss of subtlety" and categorisation of its young Adult users as misled enough to have predetermined conclusion is drenched in irony! American propaganda as usual, too bad that a side effect of so called "overwhelming yourself with Drugs and artificial stimulants" was to think, normally without predispositions (unlike old Agnew)! Maybe outward thinking was a bad thing? With a war around the corner you didn't want anyone to ask questions about.
Agnew often spoke out against Jews, and yet his mother and wife were Jewish. I suspect he comes from the Greek Jewish community himself, who unlike their fellow American Jews, hide their identity. So, was he for real or just another Zionist shill? Jews give publicity to people who criticize them and have 'bad' names because this prevents honest people from criticizing them fearing being identified with these 'bad' men. Hitler, David Duke, Ahmadinejad etc, all are (or were) such Zionist shills.
I posted the video/speech not because I think Spiro Agnew was cool. I posted what I believe to be one of the greatest speeches ever made by a politician.
Impudent snob: many a college instructor.
