Who was on Nixon's Political Enemies Hit List?
A recent Rachel Maddow show had me wondering who was on Richard Nixon's Political Enemies hit list, anyway. She reminded me that Nixon's Political Enemies list was intended to be used to investigate people who spoke out against him.
Apparently, Politicians, Celebrities Newspaper journalists, Businessmen and University Professors were included on Nixon's list which he sent to the director of the IRS instructing him to aggressively audit their tax returns.
Carol Channing, actress stated that inclusion on the list was her greatest accomplishment.
Other celebrities on the list were:
