The Watergate Scandal wasn't President Nixon's only example of poor
judgement. A newly released batch of tapes from the Nixon libraries
reveal disparaging remarks President Nixon
made in reference to Blacks, Jews, Irish-Americans, and
Italian-Americans. The tapes were made in February and March 1973, and
recorded conversations between Nixon and his top aides and personal
secretary.
Nixon's rants stooped to the lowest of ethnic stereotypes.
He took shots at the Irish as drinkers, Italians as hot tempered, and
Jews as obnoxious. Surprising is the disinterest on the plight of Soviet
Jews of not only Nixon, but also his German- Jewish National Security
Advisor Henry Kissinger.
