Coast to Coast is full of shit and surprise, surprise they talk a lot of shit with shit heads 99.5 percent of the time. Topping the poll however is Waldron. Now this schlep is hawking his wares concerning Dick Nixon!!!! I'm not going to promote him or his shite but Charles since the sad demise of uncle Al. If you want some comedy Jim and I advise listening. His research is a comedy routine.

I listened to this for about 25 minutes.
I took down about 23 points which made no sense to me.
Waldron is perhaps the worst commentator or contemporary history in America.

I think this show gets a lot of very good guests. But I would never listen to what this shill has to say. I look forward to Jim D. tearing him a new one.

Seamus, have you a link to this garbage comedy? I could use a good laugh today.

who the hell will ever take seriously what Lamar has to say.

The thing is, Waldron works hard to get on these shows.
And unfortunately, they actually book him.
But the worst part is, no one challenges him.
When Lamar is challenged he gets tense, personal, and defensive. I know this since I have seen him up close in that situation. He also gets evasive and dishonest.
My personal opinion as to why he does this is that he doesn't even trust his own data. Which is why he inflates it and misrepresents it.
For instance, in Ultimate Sacrifice, he footnotes the Bolden stuff to, not Edwin Black, but to George Black. With no page numbers. When I asked him about this, he said it was the "footnote editor". I have never heard of a footnote editor. But we are supposed to believe that the footnote editor did not notice there were no page numbers next to a whole series of footnotes.
Or that when Lamar got back the galleys, he did not notice that either.
Sure.
Lamar then said that the Black article was on line. The reason it was on line is that I pointed out this trick in Waldron's book. And then people asked me for the article which I got from Jim Douglass. If left up to Waldron, no one would ever have known the proper source.

Well, I just talked to Bob Parry today.
He commissioned a review of Waldron's book from me for the web site Consortium newscom.
So I should start reading the book this weekend.
BTW, my review of Caro should be done this weekend.
The more I read of this book, the worse it got. I am very surprised that no one has really laid into this guy or this book.
