Woodward Confirms Felt is "Deep Throat"

[Pelham]

And those of you making a stink saying this guy's not a hero...okay, I don't think of him as a hero either, but f***... the allegations and investigations into Nixon's White House were pretty damn serious. Using the intelligence arm of the United States to pry in on and subvert the democratic process. Pretty big f'n deal in my book. Pretty much something that has to be reigned in.

JFK and LBJ did much the same. Kennedy had the FBI spying on Martin Luther King, and Bill Moyers was playing the tapes for anyone who wanted to listen. LBJ was notorious for strongarming his opponents and is said to have equalled J Edgar Hoover in having dirt on his rivals.

Who does his daughter look like to you ??

LOL! I've been thinking the exact same thing!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Woodward is lying.

To what end? If so, he could never retract for any (personal$$$) gain.

In encouraging her father to tell his own story, Mr. Felt's daughter, Joan, spoke of the money it might make to help pay tuition bills for her children.

Well well well.

I hope she doesn't insult us further by blathering about "for the good of the country" or some such rot.

I was thinking of someone else

[teenyelliott]

I agree with others who say he was no hero and his grinning family has repulsed me.

I'm with you on that one.

Watergate has caused Americans to have deep mistrust of their government...

This is in fact healthy.

She sorta reminded me of Nancy Reagan.

[onyx]

Yeah, they came by and reconnected their monitor. Everything is ok now.

I wouldn't doubt that this is all a red herring, in the sense that Felt (more likely his family) is more a willing shill than he ever was a true source of much vital info, in that the MSM/Rats will use this to get the public to make 'mental comparisons' to Nixon as dishonest and not to be trusted, a criminal, and the ongoing Vietnam war, (that he really inherited and wanted to escalate bombings to bring it to a quicker end) with President Bush, fill in the blanks, and the ongoing Iraq war...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

According to the 90+ year old guy smirking from around his daughter standing in their doorway, he doesn't even know who HE IS. lol! They could tell him he was Deep Throat and he would believe it!!!

Although it's not out of the realm of possibility, I can't imagine the family defaming their grandfather's legacy in the interest of perpetrating a hoax. I also can't imagine Bernstein substantiating this report, and then later reneging. His credibility would be destroyed. IMO, Occam's Razor is in play.

I truly detest the pig.He most certainly is a pig.

I'm a little unclear this evening...lol...not fuzzy headed, just silly.
