Saw the trailer - yet another Nixon-hater special.

I lived through that era and I only too well remember the mess that Nixon inherited from LBJ and Kennedy: a major war halfway around the world, a full-up multi-billion dollar space program, a huge home-grown enemy sympathizer network which included all of the media, the 1973 Arab-Iraeli War, the Arab Oil Embargo, massive inflation, and much more.

Out of all that, he stood by our allies, met with our enemies and started the downward turn of Communism.

I saw the David Frost interview and I didn't see arrogance at all; I saw a man who deeply loved and appreciated the presidency and this was his first time to speak publicly about what happened.

The same bozos that are in control of our politics now and who are controlling the media are the ones that "got" Nixon. He was an outstanding president and we will probably have to wait for decades before someone really gets the truth out on that period of our history.

Ron Howard should be ashamed - but the Academy will support him anytime they see something against Nixon (or the "witch hunt")

Nixon was a flaming liberal who used wage and price controls,created the EPA, and about a dozen ghastly agencies. I urge you to do some research.
He was poor on 7/10 issues.

I agree with much of what you said about Nixon, but when he said on tape he could get the hush money, the ball game was over. Ever how you want to sat it “They got him:” or whatever, he resigned in disgrace and that is the beginning of any Nixon legacy.

Yes. After eight years of solid-wall-of-sound Bush-hatred you'd think people would realize by now. If you believe what they say about Nixon, you may as well believe their version of Bush, Palin, and whoever is next on the horizon.

They tried to do the same to Reagan, they were trying to impeach him as well. Came within an inch.

It isn't Nixon, Reagan, Quayle, Bush, Palin they hate, its us. But they'll be happy to take us down one at a time.

Those are my sentiments as well.

I know we swim against the tide.

August 8, 1974, Nixon's enemies cheered.
The election of James Earl Carter was to be the wholesome catharsis.
1975-81 was spent encouraging the Soviet bear, betraying the Shah and empowering the Ayatollah, humiliating the leader of the Free World for 444 days, the inverse of Kennedy's Innaugural in which Carter "betrayed every friend, embraced every foe, to bury the survival of freedom in the world."
Carter and Turner chopped 820 CIA case officers Halloween 1977.
The Pol Pot regime (Durbin, hang your head) massacred two million as a direct legacy of the Democrat betrayal of South Vietnam and the 58,000 Americans who gave their lives to oppose Communist tyranny.
And what did Nixon do? A single file--compared to Hillary and Craig Livingstone's 1,000. . . .
The Communists hated Nixon then and hate him now because he outed Alger Hiss.
And what do we have now. . . .
