So let's cherry pick some unrelated, out of context quotes...
...and create a predictably facile, gotcha, time-worn, liberal hobby horse narrative that poses as hard hitting, documentary reporting. "It's not history, it's HBO."
shareI think deep down Nixon was a good man, and wanted the best for the American people, no matter the race, religion, or nationality.
However, he was very foul mouthed, and if people can't see past that, then they can't see the real him. However, being foul mouthed was just the way men were in those days. Nixon was a macho man, a football player type.

Nixon was a small, petty and vindictive little man who hated jews, muslims, women, journalists, catholics, etc. He wanted what was best for Richard Nixon but not what was best for the American people. My gosh learn about your history !!!! share

This piece is just another "nail in his coffin" so to speak - Nixon was simply hateful - I remember him during that time ...
What made Nixon so hateful to you anyway? Was it SALT? Are you one of those nuclear proliferation nuts? Or was it getting the troops out of Viet Nam? Are you really just a warmonger?
With just a couple of clicks, I see you seem to support Obama. This may or may not be true, but if it is then bear in mind that while RMN was in office, he had a tape recorder to record his live conversations in his office. As opposed to how many hundreds of millions of people whose communications of every type are now monitored and recorded? Wow, that's enough to make a person dizzy enough to fall over and split their head open! But that's okay, because of Obamacare. Remember when Nixon was working on something with a much less megalomaniacally pretentious moniker called the "Healthcare Reform Plan"? You know, the one where the President was working with both parties to try and make it happen?
As I said before, this program was a hatchet job based on 70 hand picked minutes of RMN's presidency. If I remember my ciphers and gazintas correctly, that's about .00236%. Can you honestly say that, if your life was an open book, somebody couldn't come up with .00236% that would have people lined up to hit you with a stick or void themselves on your remains?
You have yet to either refute any of my claims or provide anything other than personal opinions. All of which leads me to wonder whether you actually are remembering history or the ramblings of a muck raking guardian.

telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Listen you can think Nixon was a great man if you want to. I don't. He was a petty little hateful man.
