The difference between Watergate and the administration of today is that the establishment media is totally in bed with the Obama administration.

A whole lot of nothing, except the left hated Nixon with a burning passion, as much as they love Obama, that’s how much they hated Nixon, every man and woman jack of them!

Nixon was a crook...

Bill Clinton was simply charming...

Barack Obama has brought us change... mostly dimes and nickles, and pennies...

Folks, Richard Nixon deserves the nation’s apology. For him to be treated like that for what he did, and the other two louts to have been completely ignored for what they did?

Nixon was a saint compared to these two.

Obama will have our nation on it’s knees by the end of his presidency. All hail the best president eva...

God this is depressing.

Watergate was payback.

How much time do they spend teaching about how Nixon revealed the leftists’ spy idol.

But ask today’s students about the events of Watergate 40 years ago and odds are that many have never heard of the scandal

Who runs the schools and media? Leftists. Why are leftists surprised that dumbing down the schools for 40 years is actually working??

I remember the evening when Mr. Nixon addressed the nation on television and stated that he would “resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.” Wow, that was the biggest news story since I watched Neil Armstrong step foot onto the surface of the moon.

Time passes, long decades pass, and it’s interesting to see how the historical importance of Watergate diminishes from what it meant in the mid-1970’s to something much less weighty.

When I was in high school, we got as far as the 1930s. We didn't cover Watergate because it hadn't happened yet.

George Will had a column a few days ago arguing that what Nixon was really afraid of was that it would come out that he had contacts with the South Vietnamese government just before the 1968 election discouraging them from doing anything that would help Humphrey's chances of winning the election. That could be considered a violation of the Logan Act. That fear of discovery is what led to the creation of the so-called Plumbers.
