From the Nixon Files: The World According to Richard Nixon

(from the Nixon Tapes, recorded in the White House on May 13, 1971)

RICHARD NIXON: "You know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags. Neither in a public way. You know what happened to the popes? They were laying the nuns; that's been going on for years, centuries. But the Catholic Church went to hell three or four centuries ago. It was homosexual, and it had to be cleaned out. That's what's happened to Britain. It happened earlier to France.

"Let's look at the strong societies. The Russians. Goddamn, they root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all...

"The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time--it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco."
