with this question that plagued nixon his whole career, who was the real nixon? nixon as some of you may recall was always being trotted out in a new version. there was always talk of the new nixon, the old hatchet man being left behind for the statesman, then it was nixon the man of the people. there was always a new image been brought out, sometimes by nixon but sometimes torched in fabricated by his audiences. this led me to think about image making in national politics generally, and this became a central critique of nixon certainly, were our politicians only, manufactured drugs politicians tony politics in the 20th century in our age of media where it seems so possible for politicians along with the consultants, spin doctors, handlers to present images and messages designed to give us what we want rather than perhaps what they really were, a concern with authenticity you might say. a theme we have been hearing a lot on the campaign trail the season. i began to realiz ....
buckley. [applause] thank you very much. thank you very much for being here. i m delighted to be in beautiful savannah. i have been asked to speak a little bit about myself, to say what role books have played in my life and how i first became interested in writing. i think the important thing to begin with is that i was born in 1937 and have, therefore, seen some pretty important changes in american life. i graduated from radcliffe college in 1959 which means i had a harvard education. i wish i d studied more and enjoyed myself less. [laughter] after college i had a terrific job as a reporter at life magazine, the job i loved even though i was paid less than a man doing the same work. life is probably where i first thought about writing as a career. but part of being born in 1937 meant that most young women with college degrees got interesting, if ill-paying jobs, and then quit to get married. i gave up life because my first husband wished me to. i did not work ....
my question is simple. looking back over the last 20 or 30 years, every time a group has come up to challenge the status quo and challenge the establishment, it appears to me that the establishment demonizes that group. recently the tea party even the republican establishment demonize the tea party and refer to them as racists and radicals, and they are the lower class, they are not educated. how do you see the similarity between what the establishment it to the tea party and now what they are doing to donald trump? host: before we let you go michael, tell tell us about your own political affiliation. caller: i wrote a very popular book and amazon called rules for conservatives. i am a conservative. as far as whom i am backing this particular race, originally it was rubio, and now i find myself more backing donald trump. simply because he has been so badly demonized by the establishment i think it is time to kick out the establishment. host: thank you sir. calle ....
