That shows your ignorance.

You mean like racism makes someone a fascist?

They apparently didn't get away with it, moron. There was no wiretap. The
story says they were caught trying to do something to the phone system.

 RS> Liddy and crew were labeled like that.

Good grief, you haven't a clue.

Read the sentence again, idiot.

Huh?

There are no "my guys" involved here, moron. I don't have any guys.

Huh? Who are they?

Who am I letting off the hook here?

Huh?

It appears your knickers are in a knot here.

You really should get help, Otto.
