wikiFor his role in Watergate, which he coordinated with Hunt, Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping, and received a 20-year sentence. He served a total of five and half years in prison, including over 100 days in solitary confinement, before his sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter and he was released on September 7, 1977.
[edit] Advice to listeners
Liddy is noted for controversial advice to his radio audience, including on one occasion in 1994, after the federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, Liddy advised his listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests. ... Kill the sons of bitches." [5]
In 1998 Liddy hosted a fundraiser at his house for John McCain's re-election campaign at which guests could have their pictures taken with McCain and Liddy.[6] Over the years, Liddy, who has referred to McCain as "an old friend," has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns -- including $1,000 in 2008. When David Letterman asked McCain about his relationship with Liddy, McCain said, "I know Gordon Liddy. He paid his debt. He went to prison and paid his debt, as people do. I'm not in any way embarrassed to know Gordon Liddy."[7]
Liddy is a planner of the Watergate break-in that cost Richard Nixon his Presidency. He was a member of the White House Plumbers who operated for Nixon to find the sources of damaging information leaks to the press (McCain sure likes plumbers, doesnt he?). Liddy tried to explain the Watergate break-in as a cover-up to hide a call girl ring that he claimed the Democratic National Committee headquarters was running.
As a youth, Liddy listened to Hitlers speeches and recounted that they made me feel a strength inside I had never known before. Liddy did eventually condemn Hitler as evil.
Liddy became one of the primary dirty tricks henchmen of Nixons Committee to Re-election the President, also known by its aptly named acronym (CREEP).
His never completed plans included the firebombing of the Brookings institute, kidnapping anti-war activists and transporting them to Mexico and arranging call girls to catch Democrats in compromising situations.
With a quarter of a million dollar budget from the Nixon campaign, Liddy did orchestrate numerous dirty tricks. These included spreading salacious sex and drug gossip about George McGovern. He doctored political literature about the Democratic Presidential candidates of 1992, making it appear that each of them accused the other of fathering illegitimate children or being homosexuals. One of his documents accused Vice-President Hubert Humphrey of being caught drunk in a car with a prostitute in 1967.
Liddy was sentenced to over 21 years in prison. He was the only Watergate defendant who refused to plea bargain or testify against his fellow conspirators. He served less than five years in prison, including 100 days in solitary, before President Carter reduced his sentence. Liddy claims that he was a prisoner of war during his time in federal prison.

KKK McCain - 23/6 Comedy News
You miss the point: Obama is dishonest. It begs the question what else is he being untruthful about?
And if McCain had launched his political career from the living room of a KKK member or praised the book of a know racist you'd be up in arms about it.
you continue to be a fucking idiot paperboy.
Yes, like Farrakhan.
You miss the point: Obama is dishonest. It begs the question what else is he being untruthful about?
I know, but sometimes stupidity still needs a reply.
What was he dishonest about?
And your follow up question about "what else" is the type of dishonest question that distortionists make. You are a shill, and not a very good one.
McCain has been dishonest. No problem there?
I will prey for you.
