While many MSM'ers (sorry, most) are lionizing this guy as "a hero," someone who "did what he had to do," something big is being missed.
Our side has pointed out that he authorized/engineered illegal breakins himself...
And that he turned on the Whitehouse because he didn't get the top FBI job. Now think about that....
Felt became a snitch because he didn't get something he wanted! He was an opportunist, plain and simple (and it runs in the family, apparently, as they shamelessly say they urged the old man to do it so they could all get some money). Yeah, a real hero.
But here's what I haven't seen....
If they had made him the head of the FBI, he WOULD NOT have turned on the Whitehouse.
In fact, as head of the FBI....
HE WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM BURY WATERGATE!
"I live for this stuff, I have reams of info on the "Yellow Cake" story that Joe Wilson fabricated. It's addictive :-)"
It is beginning to look like a lot of the Watergate BS we have had shoveled at us for about 3 decades was fabricated also.
Obviously this thread is way over your head..
Or you nothing about Bill Clinton.. -OR- Jimmah Cartier.. -OR- LBJ.. not to speak of JFK and FDR...
That is about Bob Woodward ... before he become the ace reporter
After the Rosenbergs and Hiss and the dust settled from Watergate the Post has been full steam ahead with the Soviet agitprop. The blowback from Felt (while possibly a simple matter of greed) may prove to be the undoing of many a useful idiot. Of course it won't make any headlines but then again when you buy ink by the barrel...
LOL! It was a rhetorical question!!
What I meant was "Who the hell IS this guy??" :)
"I need a flow chart for all this new info and the cast of characters. Is it me, or do these people all seem related one way or the other?"
When you read some of replies and links that KCVL posted last night, you see the relationships loud and clear. They are the E Coast limo libs who controlled the media, the CIA, the State Department and probably part of the FBI.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
Are you talking about Woodward?
Oh come on. Don't put folks down you don't know. I know Crasher. He is very well informed, and smart, young man. If you disagree with him, fine. Just make your case. By the way, I think LBJ was the worst president in history going away, for reasons I have elucidated from time to time in other threads in other posts. But that is just my opinion.
OOps .. I didn't realize you meant the U.S. Senator George Smathers
Hey Howlin .. NOT that this has anything to do with this ... but check out who was suppose to work for Smathers
http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mary-Jo-Kopechne
Mary Jo Kopechne (July 26, 1940–July 18, 1969), born in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, was the only child of insurance salesman, Joseph Kopechne and his wife Gwen.
Upon graduation from Caldwell College for women, Kopechne moved to Washington D.C. initially to work as secretary to U.S. Senator George Smathers and subsequently as secretary to Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Kopechne died when a car driven by Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy went off a bridge and overturned into a pond. Mary Jo Kopechne File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...
This Felt guy should be tried and convicted for treason and espionage.
Can you explain why?
My recollection is that the house of cards was falling and that Dean was simply one who decided to stop trying to keep them from falling. What did he do that makes you despise him?
Before this old man hits the trail for my bed, I want to thank you for posting this thread with a great way of looking at Felt.
You all have done a wonderful job researching and enlightening dummies like me. Thanks so much! I now have reading material for the next week.
What would be poetic justice is.... Whatever money the Felt family gets from prostituting their father should be ordered to be donated to the Nixon Library :-)
Yes. Just wondering who the REAL Woodward is.
He lied about his involvement and got away with it
OOops .. I still misunderstood
That my cue to head off to bed .. plus my back is killing from sitting at this computer
Sweet Dreams y'all
Isn't that the truth! I have a headache from reading so much and trying to follow those cast of characters. lol!
"My recollection is that the house of cards was falling and that Dean was simply one who decided to stop trying to keep them from falling."
As I recollect, that is true.
If there is a true villain that I truly despise, it's this "Deep Throat" traitor. Did I ever tell that Pat Nixon was, and still, is my favorite First Lady. I admired Nixon back then in my younger days as I do now.
