The STINKING COMMIES And fellow travelers and pinkos, HATED Nixon because when he was running against Helen Gahagen Douglas,for the Senate seat from California, he had flyers about her printed on PINK PAPER. It was a "tricky" slap at Helen for her PINKO positions. And THAT is how the "TRICKY DICKIE" thing got started.
Mr. Nixon was a staunch anti-Commie ( GOD BLESS HIM ! ) and so the lefties HATED him for decades and WHY I am always upset to see people here use that SMEAR.
It’s entirely possible to be anti-communist and still be a dishonest creep. And like I said, he supported many liberal programs. He gave us affirmative action, the EPA and wage and price controls. Imagine if Obama mandated than no businesses could raise prices or wages without permission from the federal government, and set up a bureaucracy to enforce it, all buy executive order. What would the reaction be?
Not that he didn’t do some good things too, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t crooked as the day is long. He was.
