The alleged party greats, Jackson, O&#8217;Neill and Byrd, directed underlings in the destruction of Jimmy Carter &#8211; the first president elected solely by the people &#8211; and the sell-out to big business and to neoconservatives of the people who elected him.<\/p>\n<p>Liberty Under Siege makes it impossible to not laugh uproariously or wretch involuntarily whenever MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews declares he&#8217;s just a regular guy from Philly or gets misty-eyed over his days serving as Tip O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s aide, as if he and O&#8217;Neill are de rigeur champions of the people.
