Rather because I still bear a grudge against those Europeans who supported the evil ones of Germany. I can't abide their Jew hatred.

Thanks for the clarification. Such a grudge is easy to understand, and is no doubt justified by any standard. It is my view, however, that Nixon did not hate Jews, but viewed most liberal Jews in the media as his implacable adversaries, which was no doubt true. This does not make him antisemitic. Interestingly, Nixon's most strenuous defenders against charges of antisemitisim are Jews who knew him well and worked with him, all of whom are fully cognizant of his comments on the White House tapes. In his autobiography, Leonard Garment, a Jew who knew and worked closely with Nixon over many years, and who succeeded John Dean as Nixon's counsel, wrote in his 1997 autobiography, Crazy Rhythm, that, among the people he had met in his own public life, Nixon rated better than most in this respect. Indeed, after the release of the Graham-Nixon conversation this past week, Garment was one of the first to leap to Nixon's defense.

Neither were slaveholders anti-Black ?

I could hear the bigotry on that tape
from both Nixon
and Graham.

You must be of a different race
or have your spiritual ear plugs on.
