Wow. I thought I had run out of reasons to think Nixon was a vile excuse for a human being.

BUT NO! There are always new rocks to kick over and see what vile squirming thing is underneath, it seems.
LBJ's White House tapes reveal that they knew Nixon had sabotaged the 1968 Vietnam peace talks in an attempt to make LBJ and the Democrats look bad. 22000 US military and a whole bunch of civilians died between then and the 1973 talks that ended the hot war.

When they were released to the public I listen to hours of Nixon's tapes. I had already read books on them, but to hear him say that stuff directly (whether it was referring to Jews as "kikes", blacks as inferior, discussing the watergate break-in, and more, not how you want to think of a president) was quite an experience.
