Wallace ’72

Posted on by

May 15, 1972, Laurel, Maryland.  Alabama Governor George Wallace was shot four times by failed assassin Arthur Bremer.  Gov. Wallace survived, but was left paralyzed from the waist down.  It is unknown as to what would have been the results of the campaign if Wallace had not been forced out of the race by his injuries.  While his campaign was cut short, he still managed to come in third place in the Democratic primaries against Sen. George McGovern and former VP Hubert Humphrey.

Gov. Wallace would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair until his death in 1998.

Gov. Wallace would run again in 1976, unsuccessfully.  He would serve four terms as Alabama governor.

1n 1974, Pres. Nixon requested support from Wallace as leader of the “Southern Dixiecrats” during Watergate.  Wallace turned him down.   When Arizona Gov. Barry Goldwater also refused to help Nixon, the former President decided to resign.

Arthur Bremer’s diary detailed plans to kill either then current Pres. Richard Nixon or leading Democratic candidate George Wallace.  Bremer gave up on the idea of killing Nixon when he saw that his Secret Service protection was extensive.  This assassination plot was partially used in the 1976 film “Taxi Driver”.

“Taxi Driver” (1976) partially based on the Bremer diary would inspire John Hinckley, Jr. to shoot Pres. Reagan in 1981.

Bremer served thirty-five years in prison was released in 2007.

Arthur Bremer reminds me of the current radical left

On May 12, 1972, would-be assassin Arthur Bremer opens fire on presidential candidate Gov. George Wallace, shooting him four times, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.  (Three others were also wounded.)

Back in the day, I and everyone else accepted the MSM’s version of the events – that Bremer was a lone nutcase, a loser seeking fame.

What most didn’t know was that Bremer really wanted to kill President Nixon.  After a few failed attempts, he gave up, concluding that the President was too heavily guarded.

Bremer picked Gov. Wallace because he was a segregationist.  (Sound familiar?)  The Alabama governor put forced school busing on the table as a major issue in ’72.  [Nixon stopped busing.]

It should be noted that Gov. Wallace was running for the Democratic nomination.  [The Dixiercrats.  And he was doing well.]

Arthur Bremer had his beliefs and preferences.  Why didn’t he try to kill Sen. George McGovern?  This is something the MSM chooses not to speak about.

Another question:  if Bremer sought fame, why has remained silent for all these years?  Most young people have never heard of him.  Why has the MSM swept this man under the rug?  (Arthur Bremer was sentenced to serve 63 years in prison, yet for whatever reason was paroled in 2007, after serving only 35.)

TODAY.  We have a President who many erroneously believe to be a racist.

In 2016, Dems firmly believed they had the presidency locked up – and when they lost – many became unhinged.  So I ask, are there any Arthur Bremers out there, pushed to the breaking point by the non-stop, anti-Trump coverage, 24/7?

How many of you heard about Hasher Jallal Taheb, a Muslim who plotted to blow a hole in the White House?  Maybe, he was listening to Madonna.

2020.  Dems scramble to find a candidate to run against the President.  A fool’s errand.  Anybody who knows anything about politics knows his re-election is a sure thing, unless-
