Kissinger argued for indifference toward slaughter of Soviet Jews -- and Nixon agreed Saturday, December 11th, 2010 President Richard Nixon was, to put it bluntly, an avowed racist, according to audio recordings released recently by his presidential library. Nixon, talking with top aides in secret in the Oval Office, went into further details about his beliefs on Jews, blacks, Italian-Americans, and Irish-Americans. Nixon denied in a Feb. 13, 1973, recording with his senior advisor that he was prejudiced; however, he said, “I’ve just recognized that, you know, all people have certain traits.” The Irish, Nixon said, for example, "can't drink" and "get mean." "Virtually every Irish I’ve known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish,” he said. Nixon's descriptions captured in 265 hours of recordings were released last week by the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. The tapes, recorded during the last months of his Watergate scandal-ridden term, also reveal Nixon's complex views of Jews. Previous audio selections released by the library showed Nixon's intense dislike of Jews -- even those who worked in the White House, such as Henry A. Kissinger, his national security adviser. The latest audio shows Nixon differentiated between Israeli Jews and American Jews, the later drawing much more of Nixon's ire. The audio also illuminates a 1973 conversation between Kissinger and Nixon, in which they dismissed concerns of Soviets slaughtering Jews en masse. “The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy,” Kissinger said. “And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.” “I know,” Nixon replied. “We can’t blow up the world because of it.” The tapes were recorded in the Oval Office a little over a year before his resignation from the nation's highest political office. Timothy Naftali, the executive director of the Nixon Library, told The New York Times that the tapes would be released online at the library’s Web site by 2012.

Nothing more important on the Us vs Them front than dredging up Nixon hate articles? You lefties are pumping a dry well.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
I'm not Brian's biggest fan, and the feeling is mutual. But he's no lefty and far more intelligent than you are, retard. your failure to understand this, is why you're a retard.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
Nixon's descriptions captured in 265 hours of recordings were released last week by the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. Dredging? The public hasn't seen nor read transcripts of these lastest recordings so piss off. That said, I'm going to join continental op to lay flowers... ;)
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I've had no problems with your postings. Remember your screenname from quite awhile back but can't place what forum we were on at the time.

Not surprising that you two misfits gang together. You can tell a lot about people by their company. You two must be torching tonight now that it looks like your role model war won't be coming back. Him and all 50 of his IP's, that is. Oh, btw, piss off yourself.

Doing GREAT. Tomorrow marks the twelfth day of Christmas, doesn't it? Today is the eleventh... and the bots pick up for Christmas cheer.
Prior to Obama, Nixon was the second most big government President of the post WWII era. (junior was third) He greatly expanded Johnson's Great Society Programs. He created the EPA. He created OSHA. He severed the last link the dollar had to gold. He did many other nasty things that we are still living with today. He did one GREAT thing. He opened China to the western world, which broke up the communist alliance between China and Russia and enabled Chinese politicians to transform their society after Mao died. BRAVO to Nixon for this. To hell with Nixon at home. Johnson and Nixon created the government we live under now. It's a rotten government. Any attempt to portray Nixon as a "conservative" or on the "right" is grossly mistaken. Nixon was part of the post-WWII "consensus" that Goldwater, Reagan and others fought against.
