The Left hated Richard Nixon for essentially the same reason—Nixon was successful in nailing commie Alger Hiss.

I have always felt that the left was out to destroy Nixon after the dims lost in the ultra landslide election.

They couldn't beat Nixon so they just assassinated his character. Every time there is a media reference to Nixon, there is some modifier intended to assure we remember how they disgraced him.
