THE ASSASSINATION OF RICHARD NIXON

Little Green Stuff has a terrific link and post on Watergate that you may not have seen before. I'd only emphasize that the MSM hated Nixon because he caught their all time darling, Alger Hiss. And for those of you who weren't around, hated is the operative word. Pathological Hate. A consuming hate. Secondly, Nixon was not involved in Watergate at all. Nixon wanted to let the burglars hang but Halderman, Nixon's assistant, talked him out of telling the truth.

However, was he a good president? Yes for all the things mentioned in the post. No because of his stupid economic policies of wage and price controls--another Left program---that caused a recession so severe that it was nearly a depression. The other contibuting factor was taking us off the gold standard.

But Nixon was assassinated by the MSM, and make no mistake. Johnson links to a wonderful piece by Ben Stein in the Spectator.

He was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a lying, conniving seducer like Clinton -- a lying, conniving peacemaker. That is Nixon's kharma.
