The life lesson in all of this: It was not the fact that what happened at Watergate was the big issue, it was the fact that he tried to cover it up. Hence, when you do something wrong and you know it, own it and whole heartedly apologize. Don't try and downplay or twist it some other way (manipulate). As my late grandmother would say: The truth always settles better than the lie, even if it's in the long run.

Problem was, Nixon was deeply paranoid of the communists in the government and press (rather rightly so too) using any little thing they could to try to bring him down. He ended up playing right into their hands. Then the Democrats used Watergate as a way to avoid honoring America's commitment to resupply South Vietnam's military. The North Vietnamese also saw Watergate as an opportunity to invade the South. So in the end, "Deep Throat" is directly responsible for the massive loss of lives and freedom of the South Vietnamese people.

I was just talking to a man whose draft number was 63. He had his Army Induction Physical and never had to go to basic training because of Nixon policy that ended American Military involvement in the Vietnam war. He would have gone into the Infantry but instead he lived a long life and has grandchildren. He has nothing but good things to say about Richard Nixon.

It's pretty simplistic to merely say "such-and-such president lost the war". Presidents don't lose wars single-handedly. Entire bureacracies do, and sometimes they do it on a timescale of years - not in one stroke, but in a constant chain of tiny failures. One good, reasonably neutral point of view on why US was so inefficient at fighting Viet Cong is "The Best and the Brightest" by David Halberstam. If I'm to cut its version of why Vietnam was lost to one sentence, it's this: fanatical anti-communism, like any other fanatical form of a warlike ideology, can cripple a bureaucracy's ability to make reasonable, pragmatic choices. It's one thing to be pro-capitalism and pro-freedom, another to be anti-communist. The first has a clear positive agenda, the second is intrinsically negative and poorly-defined, so it easily turns into a witch-hunt for anyone who is less fanatically anti-communist than you are. So even if a functionary has good reasons to believe that the best course of action is establishing a ceasefire with communists and instead solving the economical problems that perpetuate the war, the threat of a witch-hunt causes him to censor himself. It's kind of like the difference between being pro-diversity and being anti-white.

Lyndon Johnson bugged Goldwater's plane and campaign office, and it was an open secret in Washington that he'd stolen his senate election in 1948, google "box 13 scandal." It was also an open secret that Kennedy had stolen 1960 from Nixon, he's been quoted as saying that his father asked him how many votes he would need because he wasn't going to pay for any more. The Watergate break in was mild compared to these charges, and was only important because the media made it important. True, Nixon covered it up, but it's puppy shit compared to what other presidents have done before and since that, and Nixon doesn't deserve to be labeled as the "crook" president.

Fun Fact: My birthday is August 9th, 1974. Didn't realize that my DOB was the same day that Nixon resigned until I watched this video. Weird.

Looking back, if America should fall someday, it started around that era, the era of television. Nixon had more political ingenuity than most of his contemporary peers, but was dragged out of office by these lousy media and power seeking political opponents. Anti war movement was also a result of such, where a leverage of the Cold War and a national security issue was treated as a playground for protestors who couldn’t understand the brutal nature of war to demonstrate their moral superiority. Even back when Kennedy and Nixon ran against each other, it was the television and the media that made a huge impact on the outcome. The more media corporations control public opinions, the less serious politics becomes, and the easier it gets for business elites and politicians to manipulate. That is exactly how a masculine republic turns into a feminine democracy.

“I’m not a crook”

Of course he was a flawed man (who isn't?) but what strikes me was his profound analysis of politics and how articulate he was in expressing himself. I speak of the many interviews he did as a private citizen, easily found on KZread. I already was aware of this but he was not the demon the media and historians continue to describe him to be.

@hotwax9376

You're absolutely right. Nixon wasn't so much a villain IMO as he was a tragic hero. He did a lot of great things for the country, and in terms of his actual policy achievements (especially in his first term), he was actually one of our better presidents. I expect as the Baby Boomers and others who are old enough to remember Nixon's presidency die off, we will start to see younger historians (such as in my generation) start to reassess his legacy and perhaps give him the fair shake he was denied during his lifetime and in death continues to be denied by the current generation of historians and journalists. Perhaps a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy about his political career from the Hiss case to the resignation would be a good start. That said, I think this video seems to ignore the fact that while Nixon did not have any personal involvement in the break-in, he did participate in the coverup, so he wasn't entirely innocent.

@@Aeroldoth3 I also find it funny that you accuse PU of being propaganda while giving no sources that could prove the information given could be incorrect. Yet according to the history books taught in school, we only get one side of the story, which can be seen as propaganda

@@erictoncray966 You find it funny I didn't spend hours researching links and providing evidence for a complete stranger?? What if you're biased against the sources I cite and dismiss them out of hand, meaning all my time was wasted? What if you don't care at all, meaning again my time was wasted? That's why I suggested you do your own research, if you care, which you might not. I also suggest doing your own research on PU if you care to check the merit of this site. In addition to pushing propaganda, I find them morally repugnant for supporting slavery, among numerous other positions.

@@Aeroldoth3 and of the research I have done, the information in the video is valid. As is the information in most of not all PU videos.

"The most famous political scandal in American history." With the Maricopa audit, I expect this video isn't going to age well.

History is always more nuanced than we think.
