The Nixon Tapes: Evidence of a Racist, Anti-Semitic Richard Nixon, a Republican

[tinyflyonthewall]

@spityourrhymes Nixon SAVED Israel you dolt! It was Nixon who desegregated the schools. Pick up a history book and learn the facts. Who cares what he said in private so long as he did the right thing.

[blackmichael75]

This is not so much racism as just crass, stupid stereotyping. And as for the Jews in Soviet Russia thing, that's classic Kissinger-Nixon ruthless realpolitik. Nothing surprising there.

biggest inherent self inflicting cause of our worst problems. It's very serious for many, thanfully it's becoming less of a reality due to less causalities; Centuries of brutal occupation of Ireland by the British, slavery, ethnic cleansing, extremely harsh occupations, poverty and often hopeless existences. It's easy to forget the conditions in Ireland that existed until only recently. The last big genocide was the forced starvation and epidemics caused by politicians and government officials

[N1k1mon]

Yes, don't play all the friendly, mutually praise filled conversations with Golda Meir or the Kissinger tapes advising Nixon to make most of those "worst decisions". Nothing said was too far off the mark. A little harsh on the blacks but many of the "ones who've come along" ARE pissed off at the majority of their own and use the "N" word when speaking of self inflicted arrested development, how many act and conduct themselves and live their lives.

Btw, I'm Irish and drinking liquor IS our big

Why was Nixon's remark about Jews living in the Soviet Union so horrible? IMO, Nixon was just being realistic. Saddam Hussein killed Iraqi dissidents, did O'Donnell support the Iraq war? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

nothing he said was incorrect o donnell you plastic paddy cunt.

MSNBC > FOX

[scientific1982]

Fuck Nixon.

[FatTony726]

A white guy born in 1913... What did you Expect?

Also funny how O'Donald never goes into President Johnson Tapes

[cafe1984]

I think there is a misunderstanding of Kissinger here. His realism states that a state is a state and shouldn't concern itself with extra-power based interests. You can find this opinion in IR throughout the late 20th century. The first load of shit is horrible racism.

[ronoc9]

funny thing is, as much as I hate to admit it, Nixon had Irish blood in him.

[romanpr1nce]

i have a greater respect for nixon now.

[fefe74e]

I think George Bush was much worse than Nixon

[brojoshstone]

nixson is way better then obama

[politicalarticles]

@brojoshstone -- Can you elaborate? Or are you just wishing?

[MrEestimaa]

@politicalarticles he thinks econmys term I think ...

[TheBell65]

@brojoshstone obama is way better than george bush

[tinyflyonthewall]

It's always amusing when people presume to sit in judgment over others. AS IF this POC never said anything racist or derogatory about any group in his life. Yeah, right. Plenty of politicians who sanctimoniously condemned President Nixon, have themselves fallen into scandal. This POC shouldn't presume to tell ANYONE how to think about ANYTHING. Media elite jackass!

[greentexian]

@tinyflyonthewall The truth is a hard pill to swallow, for a fly.......

[tinyflyonthewall]

@greentexian Truth is not captured by snapshots of mere moments in one's life, if that were so, I would expect your ultimate moral positon to be no better, if not, worse than Nixon's. Those of us who have made a study of the man know better.

[tinyflyonthewall]

@greentexian Having listened to hundreds of hours of the Nixon tapes, I can tell you that there are many, many moments when Nixon's decency, generosity and yes humanity shine through. However, don't look for those snippets to be highlighted in the media. You spoon fed drone of arrogant assumptions. If that "pill" of info doesn't fit into YOUR oral cavity, then you know where you can stick it.

[spityourrhymes]

@tinyflyonthewall are you stupid... these are three different tapes showing off his racism and antisemtism. Imagaine what things he said when he wasnt being taped

[rogmaxson]

I'm sure Jefferson, Adams, Washington, and most presidents prior to Nixon had much better things to say about blacks and Jews. Too bad we don't have audio of these men while they were in office. I'm no Nixon fan, but this video seems slightly biased, and some might be taken out of context.

[samfrydman]

Amazing how Lawrence mentions the 58,000 Americans that died in the Vietnam War and not the MILLIONS of innocent Vietnamese citizens that died from American saturation bombing, the burning of villages, My Lai style massacres, etc. It just goes to show you that the imperial attitude - our lives are more important than theirs - is still alive in this country, even among "liberals".

[richiesking]

@samfrydman o donnell is a complete cunt.

[usintelreport]

how do they record conversations?

[thurmas]

Nixon is far better than any gop canidate nowadays he created the EPA relations whith China for the first time, Detente with Russia and a real Helath Care program that Ted Kennedy regrets not passing in the senate. Worst ever bull shit! This is just how middle aged men talked in the 60's and 70's it was a different era. Also Nixon had the most jews in his cabinet and he adavnced desegreation in a far more rapid pace than Johnson or JFK.

[LOBBY222333]

So are Sara Palin, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, or the Bushes..the GOP!
