Frost Nixon Interview Clip 6 of 6 - I gave them a sword, and they stuck it in. Frost/Nixon

http://www.frostnixon.com -€“ Frost Nixon Interviews -€“ Clip 6 - "€œI don'€™t go with the idea that what brought me down was a coup, a conspiracy, etc... I brought myself down. " "€œI gave them a sword, and they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish." "I guess if I had been in their position, Id a done the same thing."

When discussing the legacy of a failed presidency, nothing could be more relevant, engaging or important than the series of interviews that David Frost conducted with Richard Nixon in 1977. Following a three-year political silence, the series drew the largest ever TV news audience and granted the American people a tacit admission of guilt from the former president.
With the Ron Howard film (adapted from the Tony Award® winning play) opening in theaters on December 5th, there will be unprecedented interest in the real thing. Frost/Nixon

I just watched the movie "Frost/Nixon", and Michael Sheen did a SUPERB job as David Frost!!! :o

[cbasallie]

CBS posted a Nixon tape where he's asked about ABORTION.

He says that ''IT'S NOT BLACK AND WHITE as with rape. ''

That was a common expression in his day.

CBS manipulates and garbles his words and ''RE-WRITES'' over his face that he said abortion is fine ''as with black and white or rape''....painting him as racist.

I posted a correction.

Then CBS re-posts the video and won't permit comments.

Still lying about Nixon

How pathetic

@cbasallie

I see.

[cbasallie]

@homiezrgr8 That's the point. Nixon's comment was NOT racist. CBS ''re-wrote'' and changed his words. CBS' 're-written'' statement made the President sound like a racist. It was a deliberate attempt at slander.

@cbasallie How does that make racist what he said makes sense it not as simple as rape.

If Nixon was anything like the Nixon in the movie "Frost/Nixon" he did have the balls to at least, after some pushing, acknowledge his wrong doings.

[marekerhardt]

I and many actually like Nixon.

@Cross3dPoisons Just finished the movie - great. I was very young during all this, 3 kids, a 10-room house, etc. so I just wished they would shut up about Watergate and put the cartoons back on. Now, I'm fascinated, especially after the movie. Now, David Frost, go after Clinton and MonicaGate. All of them are guilty of abuse of power.
