WASHINGTON - A top adviser to GOP star Sarah Palin was once dispatched by ex-President Richard Nixon to sweep Jews out of government service, newly released tapes show.
Nixon aide Fred Malek's role as what Democrats call a "Jew counter" for the disgraced President was already well known, and he has spent decades apologizing for activities that later cost him a Republican National Committee job in the 1980s. But he remains a prominent GOP powerbroker.
"The government is full of Jews," Nixon griped to chief aide H.R. Haldeman in a July 1971 Oval Office recording released by the University of Virginia's Miller Center on Thursday. "Most Jews are disloyal."
The Republican President, who resigned amid the Watergate scandal in 1974, said he wanted Malek in charge of cleaning Jews out of "any sensitive areas."
"We've got to get a man in charge who is not Jewish to control the Jewish - do you understand?" Nixon said.
"I sure do," Haldeman answered.
Ultimately, Malek turned over a list of more than a dozen Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, files show. Most were fired.
The Democratic Party fired off at least 13 e-mails to reporters blasting Malek - who ran George H.W. Bush's 1992 campaign - and forwarded unflattering stories about the new tape. Malek was recently named a budget adviser by Virginia's Republican governor, Robert McDonnell.

For what it's worth, which isn't much. Malek acknowledged his mistake a couple decades ago. Yes, the "following orders" excuse, but in the distand past. It's not clear to me he's a serious Plain advisor, but in todays climate Malek's problems with the SEC over fraud allegations would be a bigger problem.
No. But one of his greatest flaws, perhaps fatal, an amazing ability to speak “openly” when he was the only person in the room who knew the conversation was being recorded. He really should have burned the tapes.
You mean Nixon, the guy who wasn’t going to resupply Israel until Golda explicitly told him that they’d use their ‘Sampson’ option if there wasn’t a resupply...
ROTFL! Who pi$$ed in YOUR Wheaties this morning?
Well, from Loyalist’s first comment after the article, it certainly seems as though he/she understands what the intent of the author was, and doesn’t agree with is. I was just commenting that just because an article is negative about conservatives or Republicans, doesn’t mean that the person who posted the thread agrees with the article.
Yeah........this just ruins everything about Palin. I’m sure she’s an ‘in the closet’ jew hater by association. /s
