Younger DUers, you ever wonder how big of a piece of SHIT Nixon was?

Read these quotes. It'll blow your fucking minds. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon

Nixon: I still think we ought to take the dikes out now. Will that drown people?
Kissinger: About two hundred thousand people.
Nixon: No, no, no, I'd rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that, Henry?
Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.
Nixon: The nuclear bomb, does that bother you?...I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christsakes.



The only place where you and I disagree ... is with regard to the bombing. You're so goddamned concerned about civilians and I don't give a damn. I don't care. - In conversation with Henry Kissinger regarding Vietnam.



Nixon: You can never put, John, any person who is a Jew on a civil rights kind of case, or freedom of the press kind of case, and get even a ten percent chance. . . . Basically, who the hell are these people that stole the papers? It's too bad. I'm sorry. I was hoping one of them would be a gentile. The three Jews - Gelb - the three suspects... All Jews."
Mitchell: Well, at least the Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the Jews couldn't get into a golf club.

Plenty more. Enjoy. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon

We just don't have any tapes. Yet.

My thoughts exactly. Although it's probably a good thing that we DON'T have The Bush Tapes...I'm disgusted enough with what I see in the public record.

what's on current tapes, if there are any.:scared:

There's a reason they don't allow him to be recorded, use a computer, or keep a diary.

them like tp.

NIXON: I have the greatest affection for them , but I know they're not going to make it for 500 years. They aren't. You know it, too. The Mexicans are a different cup of tea. They have a heritage. At the present time they steal, they're dishonest, but they do have some concept of family life. They don't live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like.

NIXON: "Archie's Guys." Archie is sitting here with his hippie son-in-law, married to the screwball daughter. The son-in-law apparently goes both ways. This guy. He's obviously queer--wears an ascot--but not offensively so. Very clever. Uses nice language. Shows pictures of his parents. And so Arch goes down to the bar. Sees his best friend, who used to play professional football. Virile, strong, this and that. Then the fairy comes into the bar.

I don't mind the homosexuality. I understand it. Nevertheless, goddamn, I don't think you glorify it on public television, homosexuality, even more than you glorify whores. We all know we have weaknesses. But, goddammit, what do you think that does to kids? You know what happened to the Greeks! Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo. We all know that. So was Socrates.

EHRLICHMAN: But he never had the influence television had.

NIXON: You know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags. Neither in a public way. You know what happened to the popes? They were layin' the nuns; that's been goin' on for years, centuries. But the Catholic Church went to hell three or four centuries ago. It was homosexual, and it had to be cleaned out. That's what's happened to Britain. It happened earlier to France.

Let's look at the strong societies. The Russians. Goddamn, they root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all. I don't know what they do with them. Look at this country. You think the Russians allow dope? Homosexuality, dope, immorality, are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and left-wingers are clinging to one another. They're trying to destroy us. I know Moynihan will disagree with this, Mitchell will, and Garment will. But, goddamn, we have to stand up to this.

EHRLICHMAN: It's fatal liberality.

"I'm not for women, frankly, in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the Cabinet."

"I don't think a woman should be in any government job whatever. I mean, I really don't. The reason why I do is mainly because they are erratic. And emotional."

I despise people like him, and yes I know a few cowards just like him. Chickenhawk wimps... evil is more like it.

"You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists."

I'm sure if he were around today he'd have one of his denomination's signs in his yard:

What a piece of shit.

I'm glad he's gone.

:mad:

without a doubt...all those things and more probably being said...it's just Rove or Cheney saying it...because bush doesn't even have the mind power to come up with even a sick thought process like Nixon's...he's a halfwit.

I never lived through the Nixon era but that doesn't matter since I'm not living in the Bush Inc era.

But then Nixon didn't have Rove in his pocket!

go figure :shrug:

I don't understand it, but, of course, Joe Lieberman and John McCain are Nixon Center Board members, too.

fwiw Gelb is, also, President of the Council on Foreign Relations.
