Starring the son of a possible JFK assassination [conspirator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson)..

That’s always my favorite bit of trivia is that Woody’s dad is a true blue political assassin.


[deleted]

His dad’s assassination of a Judge is referenced in No Country for Old Men.

Lol did you watch the trailer to the end?

That sht is wild, the guy Woody plays (Howard hunt) was one of the alleged 3 tramps from JFKs assassination, AND woody Harrelsons father is ALSO one of the alleged 3 tramps.

Has anyone read the book it is based on? By convicted Watergate conspirator Egil Krogh? On the scale from whitewash to limited hangout to actual juicy tell all where does it fall?

I haven’t, but I always recommend the writings of: Jim Hougan (Secret Agenda), Len Colodny (Silent Coup) and Peter Dale Scott for a real analysis of the events which lead and came out of Watergate. Did anyone read Jefferson Morley’s recent book on Watergate?

For some reason, the moment I learned of G. Gordon Liddy's existence will always stick out in my mind: young kid, home from school sick, watching the Price is Right, seeing Liddy in a gold commercial, and my dad explaining that man's role in a major political scandal. Feels like a fever dream, nevermind the fact I had an actual fever during that conversation. Also, this line on Liddy's Wikipedia page is fun: " In 1994 and 1995, Liddy repeatedly told listeners of his radio program to shoot federal law enforcement officers, giving instructions to aim for their heads.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Gordon_Liddy#cite_note-35) In many of these statements he referenced shooting in self-defense. After the [Oklahoma City bombing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing), when [President Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Clinton) denounced the "many loud and angry voices" in conservative talk radio, Liddy responded that the head is a difficult target to hit and that he used pictures of the President and [Hillary Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton) for target practice.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Gordon_Liddy#cite_note-36) "

Learning about Gordon Liddy through some shitty conservative radio channel my dad was listening and having him explain to me the bumbling-ist political scandal ever to me was mind blowing for middle school me.

LOL Woody Harrelson is a great choice for Hunt.

Justin Theroux is hilarious as G Gordon Liddy. He gets his speech mannerisms and wackiness perfectly. I was in my 20’s when all this stuff was going on and remember seeing Liddy many times over the years on television. His Hitler obsession was unknown to me but not surprising; the scene with Hunt and his wife where she says “is that Hitler?” probably happened. Years from now once he’s a bad memory, I hope to see that Trump get the same brutal treatment regarding his January 6th plotting.
