Nixon couldn't have been too off the mark. He busted Alger Hiss, Soviet spy and martyr for the liberal cause.

"Publicly, we say one thing....Actually, we do another." (On his secret war in Cambodia even after it became public knowledge.)
"But, Bob, generally speaking, you can't trust the bastards. They turn on you. Am I wrong or right?"[20] (Speaking about Jews)
"Jewish families are close, but there's this strange malignancy that seems to creep among them - radicalism
"As long as I'm sitting in the chair, there's not going to be any Jew appointed to that court. [No Jew] can be right on the criminal-law issue."
"You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana are Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists." May 26, 1971
“What about the rich Jews? The IRS is full of Jews, Bob." September 14, 1971
"The Jews are irreligious, atheistic, immoral bunch of bastards." February 1, 1972, Nixon telling Bob Haldeman
“I have the greatest affection for them African-Americans, but I know they're not going to make it for 500 years. They aren't. You know it, too. The Mexicans are a different cup of tea. They have a heritage. At the present time they steal, they're dishonest, but they do have some concept of family life. They don't live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like.
# "I don't give a **** what happens. I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it'll save it, save this plan. That's the whole point. We're going to protect our people if we can." (to Haldeman, tapes ordered released for the trial of Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Mitchell)

When he lost the race for Governor of California he famously said that "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." And the enemies list was some telling evidence. Remember that he also felt that the 60 presidential election had be stolen from him by Kennedy's father and he probably ordered that break in to see if anything like that was afoot again but that is not likely seeing as how McGovern did not have as much money as Joseph Kennedy.

Have you heard the Nixon tapes after they were finally released last year? He was full of awful language that you wouldn't want children to hear, and he was very hateful.
He said "The downfall of America would be the ******* up in San Francisco."
If that doesn't sound paranoid, I don't know what would.

The rat interior the White house is greater paranoid than anybody ever to hold any place of work because of the fact the time of Hitler. whilst your are the chief of a unfastened usa and got down to smash it and "exchange" each and every thing approximately it for his inventive and prescient of the recent worldwide order. i think he could be paranoid because of the fact his enemies record is becoming larger and swifter than his supporter record ever has.

I think it might have been because he knew he didn't have any friends in the media. His distrust for the media was either interpreted by the media or portrayed by the media as a distrust and suspicion of everyone and everything, hence they made it appear he was paranoid.
Perhaps it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, but as it turns out, the media was, in fact, out to get him, and they did, in fact, get him.
