Oliver North: Drug-Dealing Gun-Runner


Oliver North: Drug-Dealing Gun-Runner t-shirt (featuring original mug shot!)

Hey, that guy's on the radio too! Just like G. Gordon Liddy! And just like G. Gordon Liddy, he totally and incontrovertibly broke the law by selling guns to Iran (America's enemy, remember?) and secretly funneling the profits in to support for the Nicaraguan Contras, a right-wing guerrilla group which the United States congress had voted in 1982 to cease supporting.

North was convicted but his conviction was overturned due to some amazing legal slight-of-hand, so today he gets to tell people he isn't a felon even though he did commit all those felonies, and he gets to go on Radio America pretending that he doesn't oppose most of the stuff America originally stood for!

Unlike G. Gordon Liddy, however, Oliver North actually planned to suspend the constitution of the United States of America! See below.



(oh, and he NEVER warned Congress or anyone about Osama Bin Laden, in case you've heard that one. Conservatives made that up, naturally.
