Nixon was a big government liberal.More tapes from Dick: Nixon's base was a no on abortion but others wanted so he said whatever. MLK wanted to be judged by the content of one's character and I like that way better.
Nixon: “A majority of people in Colorado voted for abortion, I think a majority of people in Michigan are for abortion, I think in both cases, well, certainly in Michigan they will vote for it because they think that what’s going to be aborted generally are the little black bastards.”
Nixon: ” … as I told you and we talked about it earlier, that a hell of a lot of people want to control all the Negro bastards.”
Nixon: “Isn’t that really true?”
Nixon: “You know what we are talking about – Population Control?”
Unidentified Staff: “Sure”
Nixon: “We’re talking really – and what John Rockefeller really realizes – look, the people in what we call the “our class” control their populations. Sometimes they’ll have a family of six, or seven, or eight, or nine, but it’s an exception.”
Unidentified Staff: Sure.
Nixon: “People who don’t control their families are people in- the people who shouldn’t have kids.”
President Nixon formed the Population Commission which was headed by eugenics members.
LBJ was an old school racist democrat.
