How Nixon's 'I'm not a crook' speech should have sounded

[wigganegg]

34 people are crooks.

[zerounique141]

dumb bitch he's the one who's costing the country billions with his bullshit "war on drugs"

a massive case of umaduim

[avien84]

One of the foremost statesmen of the 20th century.

[danasteve524]

But Reagan's "Trickle Down economics" were bound to fail. There's far too many people who will cheat the program.

[revbookburn]

The Dickster's first honest speech

[Seasass]

@revbookburn How? I said, "I am not a crook"--was that honest?

[AllHeilKitler]

Mr.Murray: "All Heil Kitler!"

[danasteve524]

The bottom line was he was, in fact, a crook. He knew the tapes were being recorded. The Republican Party has gone downhill since.

[MoarLolz]

Lol, all he did was lie about Watergate. All the good stuff he did is, these days, forgotten.

[Scouserrrr08]

Didnt land

[chrixchua]

this kind of video lands us in jail in my country. LOL

[danning1]

"I Never Thought I'd Ever Miss Nixon."

---Bumper sticker now popular among old-timers disgusted with the direction the Republican Party has taken since Reagan.

[lancetop]

He was NOT a crook. He was an alien. He was from Alpha Centari.

[crackajacka777]

@lancetop ???

[zip68]

@lancetop he s still a crook

[CoolGregandFred]

@lancetop Lol Star Trek?

[tailsfan13]

EPIC WIN!!!!!111one......I have obstructed justice....

I am a crook!!!!!

[JMMoosey]

Sounded eerily similar to President Obama.

[halogirlelite]

true!

[llvlladfuker]

Ha Ha

[finefilth]

I meet so many young people who are/were disgusted with Bush II, and they seem to think that he was the originator of the harsh, mean-spiritedness in American society. But it was Reagan who created it. Reagan was Bush's John the Baptist.

[halogirlelite]

no, Reagan was the birth of liberiaritan ideals in the gov't. he was hardly the incredibly christian conservative that damages america today. he cared about three things: 1. Less gov't power. 2. Free Marker. 3, and most important: GETTING RID OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS

[finefilth]

@halogirlelite

\ I really would like to believe that ...but that's a lie he was a warmonger who tripled the deficit and set up the firesale sell off off of American infrastructure under Bush1

Reagan's REX 84 authorized the construction of concentration camp gulags for the american people..how patriotic!

Reagan was also a union buster and i hope the devil himself is an unemployed air traffic controller Reagan was all about class warfare/ elitist looting and cruelty with a fine irish smile

[finefilth]

@halogirlelite

Here's the difference between Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush: Every thing Bush did to you, Reagan tried to do to you - and would have done to you - had he had control of both houses of congress.

What must be remembered is that Ronald Reagan was essentially a mask - with a twinkle in its eye and a fine, Irish smile. Remove that mask and what is revealed is the twisted, hideous smirk of George W. Bush.

That's the real face of the Reagan Revolution.

[finefilth]

@halogirlelite

Reagan ,Upset with anti-war protestors, he publicly said, "If they want blood in the streets, we'll give them blood in the streets."

He had anti-war protestors at U of C Berkley gassed in the streets with combat CS gas. It would have been a PR coup among hardliners, but winds carried the gas into the respiratory wing of the local hospital and nearly killed some critical patients.

[xtronicx]

LOL

[cardinalbaseballer5]

alright. i know this may sound irrelevant, but there are a lot of people dissing bush. no, he wasnt the best president, but its not like he was retarded. i hate the people on youtube are just brainwashed by so many people exaggerating bushs lack of intelligence and inability to speak in public so much that they act like they couldve done so much of a better job. he wasnt a fucking moron.

[localboyrlm]

the only difference between nixon and other presidents was not what he did, it's that he got caught. If you think for one minute that the other presidents before and after him didn't do the same thing then you are delusional, that goes for obama as well. he wasn't corrupt, he was sloppy.

[nickardoff]

he is one of my favorite presidents. he did nothing wrong

[lordoftimeguy1]

It is interesting you say that but he was clearly a very dodgy man. And yes, there have been, in my opinion worse presidents like Ronald Reagan and perhaps George W. Bush, but I don't understand what good he did.

[boynamedblue]

he did more to desegregate schools than any president before him. and yes he also used the infamous "southern strategy." he helped open up china but was also a communist baiter. he's an impossible president to define.

[Madmistretta2099]

ronald reagan and bush were bad?

You dont understand government, it much more complex than "good" or "bad".

Its way to early to even say if bush was good or bad, you dont know, and no body else knows

[OMGCRABBATTLE]

lol, this reminds of the speeches edited to make Bush sound like a major terrorist

[SkillTool]

Well said Screammas :P

Also he sent men to the Moon aswell :P

[Reptilianmuseum]

lol

[viper5689]

Owned.

"The people should know whether or not their president is a crook, well I'm a crook."

Very well done, good job.

And to anyone that took this personally, grow up it's just a joke. >_>

[icyhearted01]

Not finding weapons of mass destruction and mushroom clouds were disappointing.

[xUberxHaxx]

Hey, at least he was smarter than bush...

[avien84]

@xUberxHaxx Yes, and did a helluva lot more than for example Kennedy.

[xUberxHaxx]

@avien84 That he did, unfortunately he was also sociopathic liar and thought of himself as more of a king than a president. Bush, on the other hand, just seemed generally oblivious. And Kennedy is kind of overrated, although I do respect him a lot more than Nixon.

[PoliticalJunke]

nixon was a good president excluding watergate reagen did worst things and he was a great president so people lay off

[Screammas]

I agree with you, PoliticalJunke.

Nixon had gotten us out of Vietnam, improved relationships with China, ended the entire "NUKE THE GOVERNMENT" rallies and reduced unemployment. So why is he considered to be so bad?

Oh yeah, he lied. Like all politicians don't do that.

[TheIncredibleSpazz]

they took over the nevers! ew! they changed it!

[trevster2905]

Fantastic.

[mtracy9]

Nixon (America's favorite Nazi) was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. Don't believe it? Look it up. The evidence can be found all over the Internet.

[CrimsonPhantom88]

Because EVERYTHING on the internet is true. Did you know that Jack Ruby faked the moonlanding and framed Lee Harvey Oswald for it by having sex with Marilyn Monroe on the grassy knoll? It's true, because I said so and everything on the internet is true!

[MidnightFondler]

while the black helicopters deployed special ops forces to plant bombs in the world trade center and the pentagon!!!

[Marxfan58]

Nixon isn't a nazi, you bastard

[videocritick]

seriously u need to shutup about this ok because he didnt help kiil Kennedy. Kennedy had frequent affairs with people and i wouldnt b surprised if jackie planned the whole thing. oh and p.s. ur the nazi

[lionsome]

HAHAHA!!!WELL i'M A CROOK!LOL!

[ibnfalahuddin1408]

Maybe if President Nixon actually said something like this, then he wouldn't need to resign. Also, if President Clinton said "I DID have sexual relations with that woman," then maybe we wouldn't need to go through those ludicrous precedings in the late 1990s which failed to remove him from office anyway. It takes a bigger man to appologise and accept the truth rather to conceal and deny it, especially if they happen to be the Presidents of the United States.

[kestasjk]

Not maybe; definitely. Clinton was impeached because he lied, not because of the affair. It used to be the norm for presidents to have affairs, read up on Kennedy

[sonicdeath10]

He was impeached because there was an agenda against him, not because he lied. His impeachment was the biggest joke I've ever seen.

[flamablesteve]

He wasn't impeached.

He resigned.

[emistrad]

@flamablesteve

He resigned to avoid his inevitable impeachment. That doesn't clear him of his crimes.

[flamablesteve]

@emistrad I am aware of that.

I never said it did.

I was simply correcting someone.

[ENINNALP]

@flamablesteve STFU troll

[IamNixon]

Nixon kicks ass. He was an awesome president whether or not he was a crook. Nixon lives forever!!!!!!

[GFB102]

but he's dead just like all the rest of the famous presiedents!!!

[Rhetoricmadness]

wow.

[lancetop]

Nixon was one of the biggest crooks that has ever lived. Lance in beautiful Bremerton, Washington

[kingdavid09]

LMFAO

[videocritick]

VOTE FOR NIXON

[venomdaffy]

i wish he was still alive, and truly, he was a good president, he just cared a little too much of what others thought of him, is that a crime?

[kraken589]

yes, yes it is

[Asinger93]

Lol. yea. better a dead guy than clinton

[GFB102]

NO, VOTE KENNEDY 2008!!!!

[videocritick]

[bouncer97]

tricky dick was a prescott bush stooge,bush sr. did nixon a favor while with the cia, by helping kill jfk.But when nixon made it into the WH it was payback time,so nixon gets him in the WH and the rest is history.

[videocritick]

[CrimsonPhantom88]

I agree. Noxon was a great president. Nixon, however...

[mtg540]

jokes...

[Rane2000]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA !!!

[Kisinkona]

All I can say about what is going on is what has been said over and over....."Divide and Conquer" go on fighting amongst yourselves. Hate each other and think we are the enemy. That is exactly what the gov't and the politicians want us to do. If we are pitted against each other...not them...they WIN/We LOSE!

[jd24717]

Nixon was a good president.  He was just a corrupt politician and a bad person. But hell if he didn't get stuff done.

Read up on Nixon's policies. Love him or hate him, he didn't do too badly.

[Kisinkona]

What an idiotic comment Nixon was a corrupt bad person but a good president....he got stuff done???? Like what expanding the war lying and cheating and stealing....getting "stuff" done and do good stuff are two different things....He was an Awful president...the worse until Bush came along

[SpinningBirdKick1]

Haha Its a Bush hater. Theyre so mentally retarded. I dont love Bush or hate him but these ppl just are the ppl that join Myspace groups that just make PS pics of Bush. YOU DONT KNOW WHY YOU HATE HIM, SO JUST TAKE YOUR FOOT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND STICK IT UP UR ASS

[Dionysus135]

Yea i agree with you spinningbirdkick1.

[Sander198422]

How about for lying the world into a war that is unwinnable and screwing up the economy. Look I don't hate anybody; but he has been a terrible worldleader exploiting 9/11 and bullying everyone to do things his way. With his "you're with us or you are against us" bullshit.

[IntermittentSprocket]

"I'm not a crock"

[Kisinkona]

In all of my years of public life I have obstructed justice....oh yes ...he did profit from his public life and yes he was a crook....I think Bush and Nixon are two peas in a pod

[kingcobra101z]

If you look back at some of the things Nixon did he really wasn't that bad of a president, with the exception of watergate.

[Kisinkona]

LMAO.....like Bush isn't too bad...other than getting us into WW111, Evil is as Evil does! There is so much corruption in our gov't you would not believe it!

[thundertentronckh]

Your right, getting us out of Vietnam and starting better relations with the USSR was so horrible of him...

[Kisinkona]

I haven't forgotten Tricky Dickhead getting in bed with the Chinese...."big, bad, terrible Commies" that we so hated, like we do the big bad terrible terrorist now. China has taken all our jobs and given us a bunch of Cheap Wal Mart Crap to buy. Oh Thank YOU! Tricky DICKY and Bullshit Bush....Thank you for making our country the Un-United States of America it is today.....

[Kisinkona]

Oh and thank you Bush for taking oil prices from $30 a barrel to $100. What would this country be without the bastard politicians...fuxing it up>????? If you think Reagan, Nixon or Bush have done any good, except for their rich supporters...u r as sick as they are....

[kingcobra101z]

There is corruption in every gov. you would have to be niave to think it isn't the truth, but as bad as nixon was he wasn't really as bad as people say he is.

[thundertentronckh]

Kisinkona has a point, Reagan Nixon and Bush and all those other fascists are/were terrible people completely incapable of doing anything good at all... ever......

[Kisinkona]

You are totally right...those three stooges never did one single thing that benefited this country...it was all about greed and feeding the rich bastards that got them elected....

[jd24717]

Stop hating Republicans.

[Kisinkona]

My question, is why don't you hate Republicans...what have they done for you lately?????what have they done to this country, they are destroying it...with Big Brother Gov't.....LOOK LISTEN LEARN

[jd24717]

You just hate Republicans. If you knew anything about fascism, you'd know that calling them fascism is as stupid as calling Carter or Clinton a communist. You're just making hyperbole.

[Kisinkona]

Actually Dems are Socialist and Rep for Fascist....

[jd24717]

Hyperbole.

[Sander198422]

Actually calling Democrats socialists is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. We have socialist parties here in Europe, mainstream ones. Here the Dems would be a bit right of centre in most of their policies. I dont want to call republicans fascist, in principle they are even quite the opposite, however Bushs politics have some facism similarities.

[Kisinkona]

We are like sheep walking obediently to our own slaughter....hoping that by being "good little patriotic citizens, maybe we won't be eaten...but guess again...u tasty morsels...our gov't doesn't play nice.....

[FoxNewsRepublican]

I am not a crook! (Democrat)

[gilliamjf]

cheap-shot

[jediyassin]

This sounds a lot more truthful.

[F22GxL]

So THATS whats on the missing 18 minutes of tape
