Gandhi Bashing

Liberals and their lackeys, those jackals in the media, are pouncing over Henry Kissinger today after more trancripts from the massive audio tape archives of former president Richard Nixon were released.

The taped conversation between Nixon and Kissinger took place in 1971, when Kissinger was U.S. Secretary of State. Apparently the PC-obsessed leftwingers think old Henry's language was a bit strong. Snippets from the discussion, which focused on India's then president, Indira Gandhi, and that country's march to war over Bangladesh, follow below.

"We really slobbered over the old witch," says President Nixon said of Gandhi.

"The Indians are bastards anyway," says Mr Kissinger. "They are starting a war there."

He adds: "While she was a bitch, we got what we wanted too. She will not be able to go home and say that the United States didn't give her a warm reception and therefore in despair she's got to go to war."

This controversy is nothing more than a tempest in a teapot and an attempt by weak-willed liberals to bash the legacy of a truly great man. First of all, its Dr. Kissinger, dammit. The man was trying to accomplish amazing things, like stopping the insidious spread of Communism. If some Indian president lady had to get trashed in the process, so the heck what?

The below, also taken from the tapes, has further raised hackles.

Kissinger: They are the most aggressive goddamn people around there.
Nixon: The Indians?
Kissinger: Yeah.
Nixon: Sure.

OK, seriously, who can challenge the accuracy of this exchange? Indians are aggressive. Look at Indira Gandhi's predecessor, Mahatma Gandhi. Don't let Hollywood's liberal-tainted portrayal of that wildman fool you. Nonviolent my ass. Gandhi would punch you in the face as soon as look at you. Always tapping around with that cane, what a charade. The cane, as conservative bloggers have conclusively proven, contained a high-powered rifle and various torture devices. Now, Dr. Kissinger was a great thinker. But George W. is cut from a tougher metal. If he had been around to deal with Gandhi or his uppity successor, well, you can bet freedom would have been on the march in the Indian subcontinent.
