1972: Nixon Now (Campaign Ad)

[PaulGreen11]

Ok, fellow Americans here's the question of the day;

Was Nixon a better President than George W. Bush?

Thumbs up or Thumbs down, vote now.

[ts53shea]

NIXON IS STILL AMERICA'S PRESIDENT AND DON'T EVER FORGET IT!

[vonerotateca]

The republican party hasn't changed much in 40 years, still full of crooks and liars. 

[ChrisK529]

WOW, I remember playing this in my high school band at a rally back in 1972.

[Willredd94]

Hurray for Richard Nixon. A great American and statesman.

[amateurextra58]

Nixon was actually a good President when it cam to wage and price controls. His downfall was his lust anc control for power at any cost to his opposition.

[artmunky]

Rot in hell you son of a bitch. Right next to Reagan. Rot you bastards.

[harvestave]

The most complex President that ever lived.

[superman93994]

Nixon must have inspired Obama to be the incredible liar that he is

[Jbroks86]

@superman93994 What an idiot. Nixon actually despite the media and the left's smears was the right man and a good POTUS. Obama can never be the man Nixon was or good a POTUS as Nixon was. Nixon would never have this country as fucked up as Obama is right now.

[shabeki]

@Jbroks86 Keep telling yourself that, dumbass. Nixon was a fraud and a liar, just like you. You'd have to be living in a bubble to compare the current guy to the level of corruption that Nixon was involved in. From wiretapping the opposing party's convention to expanding the war in Vietnam to making an "enemies list," the guy was a lunatic. Worse, he thought what he was doing was legal because he was President.

Only a moron would say that Nixon was a good President.

[stringbenderE2E]

@shabeki Compared to that little inept marxist communist clown we have in office now, Nixon was a good president.

[shabeki]

@stringbenderE2E Right, a guy who lies to the American people repeatedly, expands the Vietnam War and created an "enemies" list is better than someone who inherited one of the worst recessions in American history, brought our troops home from Iraq and brought about the death of Osama bin Laden.

Republican hacks are so dumb that they'll rewrite history to delude themselves any way they can.

[stringbenderE2E]

@shabeki Keep telling yourself that idiot. Inherited? How about made four times worse. You praise a guy who just topped Jimmy Carter for the ALL-TIME WORST president in U.S. history. Nice going. You can have that clown ... he's all yours. Enjoy him while ya can though ... he's G-O-N-E in less than a year.

[shabeki]

@stringbenderE2E Hey dumbass, if you think that Carter is the worst, then you don't know shit about American history. The consensus is that Harding was the worst.

It just shows that you're nothing more than a stupid right-wing hack who gets all his information from Faux News. Keep dreaming of next year. You'll be in for a shock, just like when you found out that there would be no Vice-President Palin!

[Fartman5166]

@stringbenderE2E Whoa! Parasprite alert, folks. Laugh him off, argue only on the facts, not on your opinions.

But yes, Nixon wasn't as bad as some say, but he wasn't excellent. In Vietnam, he could have done better, that's for sure. Watergate was a big mistake of his. But, on the other hand, he brought China in as a trade partner to the US and the rest of the West, and he helped guide the United States through the oil shortages. Not the best, but far from the worst.

[TheArtofWalking]

"... he showed us how ..."" well they got that right. Only "Now" they're better at lying to americans.

[zaiuswasright]

Notice, there are no negative swipes, clips or anything like that. Very positive! Why can 't today's politicians be like this!

[Yzsaakc]

Around the time of the last key change, I was ready to do something drastic, like re-elect Nixon.

[KishonaIsa]

This was so awkwardly funny it kind of hurt me. xD

[Bluesplayoffbound]

Those brunette chicks he's shacking hands with are really hot!

[owenbrough]

@Bluesplayoffbound

They are, no doubt, the only people Nixon didn't screw.

[dougzilla]

"He personified the enemy. He stood for everything that was wrong and rotten. We were lucky to get it all rolled up into one person. It was Nixon who drove a very serious spike into the American dream. Nixon was the first president to be so massively and publicly exposed as an evil bastard."

-- Hunter S Thompson (1996) on Richard Nixon

[Matstone48]

That coward Hunter S is in Hell! May John Dean join him. Nixon is a God!

[dougzilla]

If it's any comfort to you there Matstoned, he did not like G.W. Bush either, this is what HST has to say about the last Bush gang that infested the White House:

"I miss Nixon. Compared to these Nazis we have in the White House now, Richard Nixon was a flaming liberal."

— Hunter S. Thompson

[superman93994]

@dougzilla The nazis? Is he talking about the National Socialists AKA Obama and the Democrats or the radical muslims that Obama supports?

[dougzilla]

@superman93994

Wow, your comment is just plain stupid.

[dougzilla]

Hunter was a lot of things, but a coward he was not.
