Even Nixon Supported Abortions. . .

[rah]

Yes continueing the previous hatred into current times. Classy.

[rah]

next BK will be saying his gay bashing is for shock value, and not how he really feels about gays.

Nixon was so paranoid, so prejudiced, so full of himself that the tapes often read like parody. I doubt anyone intends to defend his misogynist, racist, bitter, paranoid views in current times. He considered himself above the law, and beyond the reach of society's calls for conformity. However, he despised others who would not conform to those same calls.

Guess MrFun thought that a preaching opportunity couldn't be wasted.

I'm shocked!!

Nixon was a despicable president.

And despite this he was a great president.

[Japher]

I think Nixon was an abortion.

[rah]

I'm sure if we had recordings of private conversations between the Kennedy brothers when JFK was in office, they would also be full of equally bigoted comments.

[Blaupanzer]

Rah: Possibly.

Kuci: Nixon was so corrupt he was forced from office. The only President so condemned in US history. What makes you say he was a great President? Were you alive during his years in office? He was a genuine hypocrite and used Government agencies to serve his own ends on a scale never seen before or since.

No one here has taken offense at Nixon's racism in the OP.

black people are usually too cool to play TBSs and post on forums relating to such, so I cannot take offense to it. I can say that the guy was a ****.

Yes, I actually had the privledge to vote for him in my first presidential election.

His dealings with CHINA were considered historic at the time. He also had the Vietnam war to deal with. I don't think he was any more corrupt than his contempories. JFK was not the saint that he was portrayed as. It would have been interesting to see how history would think of him if he hadn't been shot. To this day I still believe that Nixon was a good president. He may have been a bigoted ass-hole but being an ass is almost a prerequisite of being a good president. Good men like carter, ford, bush I weren't reelected for a good reason.

Papa Joseph Kennedy was a robber baron and well-documented as a blatant anti-Semite. The family fortune was greatly enhanced by massive bootlegging during prohibition.

Hitler was good ruler in spite of his anti-Semitism.

[Kuciwalker]

Hitler was good ruler in spite of his anti-Semitism.

Not really, no. There was the whole "getting his country occupied and split in half for 50 years" thing.

For one, he opened up a trillion-dollar market to the global economy.
