It's true, Nixon had an enemies list.

making an enemies list

President Nixon had a list of 20 people that he considered enemies. Later, during Watergate, even more names was added to the list. Topping the list may have been George McGovern.

It was not Nixon's idea to make such a list, but he did not disprove it either.

Senator Sam Ervin, Judge Sirica, Archibald Cox and several congressmen were not on the list but would give Nixon the most trouble. So what is the use of such lists?

As president, Nixon would have officially considered the following as "enemies" of the U.S. : North Viet Nam, North Korea, Cuba, the USSR and all Eastern Block nations. Not to be confused with Nixon's famous "enemies list" that refers to people and organizations in the U.S. that he personally considered his political enemies.....such as prominent Democrats, members of the media that maligned him, as well as some prominent judges, and senior FBI executives who had worked under J. Edgar Hoover.
