Nobody died from Watergate.

Benghazigate, on the other hand...

It has always puzzled me why the liberals hated Nixon and that almost everyone considered him a conservative.

Nixon created the EPA, OSHA, and gave 18-year olds the right to vote; thereby sowing the seeds of the future destruction of the United States.

Nixon helped take down Alger Hiss. This may be where the hatred came from.

Hillary worked to disallow Nixon the ability to engage legal representation during his impeachment trial.

We ought to return the favor during her Benghazigate trial.

Barack Obama’s criminality and open lawbreaking make Dick Nixon look like a later day Huck Finn caught pocketing a piece of penny candy.

[. . .Nixon ended the draft as he had promised, created the successful all-volunteer Army, and extended the vote to all 18-, 19- and 20-year-old Americans.]

This took a lot of steam out of the antiwar movement that depended on fear of military conscription to draw crowds of protesters.

Nixon also began the War on Drugs which actually cut the rate of heroin use in the U.S. for a generation. Nixon's program used a funding formula of roughly 75 cents of a dollar going to treatment and education with 25 cents spent on interdiction and enforcement. Over the years this formula was reversed until law enforcement got the lion's share of funds and treatment facilities closed.
