Excerpts from Dr Hunter S. Thompson's obituary for Richard Nixon

"Babylon the great is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird"

Revelation 18:2

... He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.

... He was scum. Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was a evil man -evil in every way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or moral or any bedrock sense of decency.

... He was a cheap crook and a merciless was criminal who bombed more people to death in Laos and Cambodia than the U.S. Army lost in all of World War II.

... a hubris-crazed monster from the bowels of the American Dream with a heart full of hate and an overweening lust to be President.

... He was not only a crook but a fool.

... You don't even have to know who Richard Nixon was to be a victim of his ugly, Nazi spirit.

... He has poisoned our water forever.

... By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.
