I recommend watching Frost/Nixon, or the contemporary interviews. Nixon was a human and not devil incarnate. Its important we understand that potential for Nixon's evils lies within all of us. In the grand scheme of tyrants he wasn't even that bad - barely deserving of the label.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoWho said he was the devil incarnate? You seem to be making a logical fallacy here.
- slededit 8y agoI disagree with Hunter S. Thompson's portrayal. You'll have to forgive me for paraphrasing, "a political monster straight out of Grendel and a very dangerous enemy". Which I find extreme. But Thompson was great at grandiose phrasing which is also why I like his writing.
