DEEP THROAT

[Ironmajor]

Deep Throat is all over the news, and seems to be being celebrated on such channels as CNN and MSNBC. HIs grandchildren wanted it out because they wanted him to be celebrated as "heroic" for bringing down a presidency; his grand daughter indicated that maybe they could make some money off of the book. Mark Felt, as Associate Director of the FBI became the source of the leak because he was passed over by Nixon for the directorship of the FBI when J. Edgar Hoover died, Nixom naming Patrick Gray to the job instead. Felt was incensed, and betrayed the department and administration he served - breaking the law doing it. He also set the precedent for "unnamed sources" and set the blue print for the liberal media to bring down presidencies and other officials. Felt is a dishonest turncoat. If he disliked Nixon or the administration, he should have done his job and gone to a grand jury, not covertly give information to the Washington Post. He is not a patriot, he deserves to by buried next to Benedict Arnold. The FBI should be expunged of any reference to him, he has betrayed his oath of office to uphold the Constitution and has not set an admirable example of loyalty to that intitution.

Yep!

Your post, perhaps well intended ... sucks!

Other than being a vanity post?

Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, and the Ayatollah Khomeini all say:

"Thanks Mark, we couldn't have done it without you."

Ben Stein seems to agree.

I realize that he wrote his column long before I posted my comments. But over the years, many of us understood the ramifications of the treachery done by Deep Throat and the bastard treasonous Democrats and their media skanks like Woodward and Bernstein. Their actions came to fruition on 9/11/2001. Poor old Jerry Ford lost because of the Nixon disaster. Then Jimmuh Cahter's disastrous Mideast policy set in motion the murderous jihadists. American citizens and American troops are paying with their lives for the selfishness, cowardice, and plain stupidity of Mark Felt, and the rest of the aforementioned suspects.

Come on now, he is no more a traitor than Nixon IS. He was doing his job. It had the affect he desired, and he got to keep his life. (Job, family life, role in the FBI, etc.) What he did took guts, but he could have come out in public. However, if there were more people like him in the public office that "blow the whistle" the level of corruption might be significantly lower! Long live the old dude, and I wish there were more like him!!! G. Gordon, on the other hand, needs to just SHUT UP!!!

He was a Federal Law Enforcment agent who took an oath to uphold the law. Leaking a story to the press does not fall under "doing his job". If he new of illegal activity he should have done his duty and had them arrested to stand trial for their actions. If he didnt have the balls to do his duty he should have walked. What he did was spineless and self serving.

I cant believe the huge smile on his daughters (?) face when she is answering the door in the news clips. They are so proud of what and why he told them what he did.

Evidently Felt had a selective morality and he was pardoned by President Reagan.

"W. Mark Felt and Edward Miller (Reagan, 1981; clemency for authorizing FBI agents to break into Vietnam protestors' offices without warrants)"

She should hide in shame.

Yes, the paycheck at the end of the rainbow. They figured they'd beat W&B to the bank.

[tuffydoodle]

Unconventional? Avoided in marriage? Why didn't I know about this???

[tuffydoodle]

Damn, I miss all the good stuff!

>a tremendously unconventional show of affection? Commonly avoided in marriage

Here is a very excellent analysis written by Seth Swirsky, and sent to me via email by his mother, my close friend, Joan Swirsky, writer for NewsMax.com.

"Seriously, while no one *sees* it, Mark Felt coming forward to brag that he was deep throat, is symbolic of the "last gasp" of liberalism in this country -- the only thing thing that the left "accomplished" in the last 30 years. They "got" "Nixon. wow--aren't they proud. Felt was the disgruntled #2 man at the FBI who was passed over for the number one spot. some "patriot."

The left, with only 2 presidential victories in over 40 years (with the deeply weak Carter and irresponsible Clinton), has only Watergate to crow over. Thus, the last moment of glory is now being celebrated. It's a harmless end, thank god, to the failed experiment called liberalism, which has shown itself to be a mistake in history, begun by Franklin Roosevelt. That "mistake" only started getting corrected in 1994 with the "Contract with America."

Liberalism can only say it accomplsihed "civil rights", but that train had already left the station: Kennedy could never have pulled that off (it took a southernor to do it, LBJ). Today, Truman and JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. would be Republicans, caring as they did about personal responsibility and toughness (MLK was way more like Ward Connerly than Jesse Jackson -- he never would have wanted "affirmative action" and would have eschewed the "victim" card the Democrats play with blacks at every election.

So, I hope liberals save and read and re-read their Newsweeks and NY Times over and over RE: Mark Felt, feeling all warm inside -- it's the last moment of glory for an extraordinarily weak, phony and failed philosophy.

That's a great read on what's presently occurring. What is remarkable though is how happy they are, still, that they caused a sitting President to resign. Yet, the accomplishments of Nixon are far more important and enduring than the whole twelve years of Jimmuh and Bubbah. Yeah, it's something to be proud of I guess. The blood of millions, including American citizens, on their hands. They sort of remind me of maggots on rotting meat.
