Talk:Warren G. Harding

How could this marvellous article have omitted to include a family-friendly description of the zany, madcap antics engaged in by Nan Britton and "Mr. Harding" in the White House coat closet, amongst the galoshes? Note: irony. Dpbsmith 20:30, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

even wikipedia admits harding was innocent here: "Warren G. Harding was not, directly, personally or otherwise, aware of the scandal. At the time of his death in 1923 he was just beginning to learn of problems deriving from the actions of his appointee". I think you expose your Liberal bias. Richard 21:16, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Uh, Nan Britton was associated with a different scandal, not Teapot Dome. She was... how to say this... the Monica Lewinsky of the Roaring Twenties. Dpbsmith 21:34, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

says harding's critics and the MSM. There is no unbiased source to substantiate that Richard 21:37, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Ummm....Teapot Dome, anybody? Biggest scandal ever in an administration? --Dave3172 20:31, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

if you haven't noticed, the article is one big stupid joke... Splark 20:33, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

What makes you say this is a joke?--Aschlafly 20:39, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

"Mr. Harding's unassailable character was an exemplary example for all Americans" Keep in mind all of his scandals, extramarital affairs, and everything else that was omitted (including his admission to be not mentally up to the job). I think you're being tricked by a liberal smart-aleck. Splark 20:43, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

And do you have unbiased sources that actually substantiate those claims? This is just like McCarthy, who has been proven right by history. Richard 21:06, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Note that the article is referenced. If you feel other material that is sufficiently factual and ideologically compatible then please add it rather than engaging in ad hominem attacks against my character (calling me a liberal) Richard 21:09, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Splark, with all due respect, I think you've been duped by liberal history books. Harding was one of the most conservative presidents and was maligned by liberals because he was conservative. Do you buy everything the media says about other conservatives, such as Anita Bryant?--Aschlafly 21:47, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

With all due respect to you, Aschlafly, Warren Harding did say "I am not fit for this office and never should have been here." (http://www.trivia-library.com/b/u-s-president-warren-g-harding-quotes-from-and-about-harding.htm). Also, the article does not even include the Teapot Dome scandal, where Harding secretly leased naval oil-reserve lands to private companies. (http://ap.grolier.com/article?assetid=0380900-00). While the media is quite biased against Harding, the article should at least include the Teapot Dome scandal and his two extramarital affairs (http://americanhistory.about.com/od/warrengharding/p/pHarding.htm) I know this site is biased, but the facts remain. -Splark 22:01, 12 March 2007 (EDT)
