Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Adam Schiff and Richard Milhous Nixon, our amoral 37th president of the United States?
Let’s start with that amorality. Both men showed a willingness to say or do anything in order to achieve their goals – step over any body, tell any lie — and their goals were also the same: to achieve personal political power at any cost.
More about that later, but we might take a moment to notice the more superficial similarities between the two politicians, and I’m not talking about their peculiar facial features — Nixon’s jowly face with its ski-slope nose or Schiff’s thin neck and bug eyes

Besmirching Nixon? He was nowhere near as corrupt as Schiff.

Nixon has no similarity whatsoever to Schiff. Nixon did nothing wrong, but there was no internet, or conservative media to counterbalance the leftwing media in the 1970's. Also, Nixon was surrounded with people that were crooked, pompous, and stupid, so did not help Nixon with the public.

Stupid article by a pretend conservative ignorant of real history. Nixon's only crime was in stupidly helping to cover-up the break-in at the Watergate Hotel.

Something got into the water that Miele is drinking. Nixon was right about Douglas and that nutcase Marcantonio. He did the Nation a service by blocking out those two, especially Douglas. Douglas, a former actress, was the wife of the actor Melvyn Douglas, both members of the Hollywood left. My problem with Nixon was that he had RINO tendencies, thus we got the EPA and OSHA among other things. Schiff if the corrupt one. Nixon doesn't even come close!

Nixon was far more preferable than George McGovern. He disappointed me with his rapprochement with Mao. Still, he was far better in character than Schiff.

I can think of a number of positive things that happened during the Nixon administration (ending the war in Vietnam, for one) and that Richard Nixon did.
I cannot, for the life of me, ever think of anything that Adam Schiff has done or will ever do that is positive for this country or the world we live in (with the possible exception of his removal from public life and banishment to a "no speak" monastery for the remainder of his days)..
End of discussion.

No, no, and NO. What has happened to Frank Miele?
Nixon on a bad day was never anywhere near the lowlife scum, the mendacious ugliness, that is Adam Schiff.

Like GWB, Millhouse wasn't really much of a Conservative. His crime was playing for the wrong team. Even Ronaldo Maximus got snookered into a 'one time' illegal immigrant pardon in '86.
He also cut tax RATES, generated great IRS totals and yet let the Dems spend until they could boast about 'his deficits'.
----'twas ever thus !

If one were to take the FBI lovebirds of the year at their word, Obama was being kept in the loop regarding illegal spying on his political opponent. He has also supported the cover up. Nixon participated ion the cover up but not the initial act. That makes Obama worse than Nixon. But the closest thing we have to Nixon part deux is Obama.

If there was an alternative media in the early 70s Nixon would have finished his term. The media was just as corrupt then, the Country just didn't know it.

Please do not connect President Nixon to Schiff.
Nixon was hounded out of office by the media---- an unchecked media in those days. It took them decades to do it, starting with his days in Congress, but they finally did it, which emboldened them. Now it doesn't take them as long to smear conserivatives. Quayle and Palin are a couple of examples.

What ad hominem attack are you not talking about? Oh the one about how Schiff can't help being ugly but could sure stay home? Okay. I get it now. As to Nixon. He is dead already.
