Sarah Palin aide Fred Malek helped former President Richard Nixon dump Jews from government

WASHINGTON - A top adviser to GOP star Sarah Palin was once dispatched by ex-President Richard Nixon to sweep Jews out of government service, newly released tapes show.

Nixon aide Fred Malek's role as what Democrats call a "Jew counter" for the disgraced President was already well known, and he has spent decades apologizing for activities that later cost him a Republican National Committee job in the 1980s. But he remains a prominent GOP powerbroker.

"The government is full of Jews," Nixon griped to chief aide H.R. Haldeman in a July 1971 Oval Office recording released by the University of Virginia's Miller Center on Thursday. "Most Jews are disloyal."

The Republican President, who resigned amid the Watergate scandal in 1974, said he wanted Malek in charge of cleaning Jews out of "any sensitive areas."

"We've got to get a man in charge who is not Jewish to control the Jewish - do you understand?" Nixon said.

"I sure do," Haldeman answered.

Ultimately, Malek turned over a list of more than a dozen Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, files show. Most were fired.

The Democratic Party fired off at least 13 e-mails to reporters blasting Malek - who ran George H.W. Bush's 1992 campaign - and forwarded unflattering stories about the new tape. Malek was recently named a budget adviser by Virginia's Republican governor, Robert McDonnell.

I wish he were there to take out Axlerod and Rahm (and grab Kagan on the way out).

Oh good grief! Senator Robert Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and he's celebrated by the Democrats as one of the greatest members of the Senate!

In other words, the Dems have NO room to talk on any matter like this!

Of all the hate Satan has cursed us with is antisemitism the ultimate?

I'm saying beyond the historical record which says nothing about the hearts of men today—what is the rational?

Most bigotries are stupid,ignorant or motivated by political opportunism which usually wither with time.

The hate for the Jews,however,is like peanut butter,always clinging to the roof of the mouths of the savage residing in the husk of the civilized.

I believe one has to be born NOT to hate the Jews—or else voluntarily embrace reason which is a whole lot more difficult than being born with such common sense..

“Author doesn’t understand the 50s/60s mindset. “Jews” meant neither Semitic nor Hebrew; it meant liberal & antiChristian, not to mention Pink.”

Has it changed that much? There are still far too few Goldwaters, Goldbergs, Savages, etc.

I hope you, the poster, aren’t buying into this BS.

Just because someone posts an article, doesn't mean he or she agrees with what the article says. Could be posting to make Freepers aware of what's being said out there, in case we missed it in the news. After all, many of us do not watch network news anymore, nor do we subscribe to big city newspapers. It's good to know what the 'other side' is saying, so we can counter it, when any of our family, friends, or acquaintances bring up the subject.

“recording released by the University of Virginia’s Miller Center on Thursday.”

is this the same University of Virginia that won’t release Dr Mann’s information about state-funded grants to AG Cuccinelli?

So, it actually does matter to the lamestream when a president dispatches an aide to do something wrong. This doesn't prove Malek an anti-Semite, only that he did the bidding of his boss. Let's see them hold the same view when Rahm Emanuel and Jim Messina finally disclose on whose orders they offered the bribes to Sestak and Romanoff.

Does anyone seriously doubt Sarah Palins’ love of Israel and the Jewish people? Really? Isn’t that what many of her detractors left or right have b*itched about?

I would trade Richard Nixon’s Jew Hatred for Obama’s any day.

I wonder if these Jews were actually secular Marxist Jews? Why else the concern about them being employed in “sensitive” jobs. Still very bad choice of words and makes it too easy to bash Palin with now.

I’m Jewish and Fed Malek is no big deal to me. This is just an attempt to harass Sarah Palin. Malek did this a few decades ago. Who cares?...some liberals who want to see the Gaza blockade stop so Hamas can get weapons

WOw some TOP advisor:

Aside from seeing her occasionally at fundraising events during the fall, Malek had little contact with Palin until McCain’s defeat last November. As the obituaries of the campaign began to be written — and Palin began to be savaged by former McCain aides — Malek found himself more and more annoyed. “It really torqued me,” he explained.
Malek proceeded to take Palin under his considerable Washington wing, inviting her to attend the exclusive Alfalfa Dinner in late January as his guest and hosting a foreign policy discussion attended by the likes of former secretary of defense Frank Carlucci and former deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott.

I thought it was cool to hate the Jews now.

I’m so confused.

Given obama's policies toward Israel, I thought so too.

GOP star Sarah Palin

How odd....

The political groupies that worship politicians like celebrities, even refer to them as "Stars".

I posted it because the media, having tried and failed to reduce Sarah Palin to a marginal figure, is going to throw whatever mud it can find between now and 2012, and hope enough of it sticks.

She will be attacked as a closet anti-Semitic mouthpiece for the Israel lobby. Contradictory? Yes. But smear campaigns do not need to be logical in their attacks, merely effective.

This Jew formally absolves Malek for any deeds done decades ago at the direction of a President. /sarc

I am SO looking forward to putting Palin in the White House...
