ABC News Poll: Was Mark Felt a Hero for What He did?
Absolutely not. If anything, he should be tried for treason.
Yes, it's a theory propounded in the book Silent Coup by Len Kolodny (a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat, BTW.) Mo Dean was apparently tied in to a call-girl ring that the FBI had tied to the DNC. The madam of the call-girl ring worked at the DNC and was Maureen Dean's roommate 9before she moved in with John.) She was also one of Mo Dean's bridesmaids. (See the wedding picture in Mrs. Dean's book.)
Dean had to get Maureen's picture out of the madam's files in the DNC.
Why did Nixon feel he had to cover it up?
Dean worked for the Nixon Administration and the involvement of his paramour in a DNC-tied call-girl ring would have been used by the liberal media to harm him.
But why did Alexander Butterworth have to tell the committee about the tapes, and why didn't Nixon burn them, tehn challenge the committee to come over and find them?
It's the other son-in-law, Ed Cox. David Eisenhower might have a better chance.

65.5 yes
35.4 no
The tide appears to be changing.
I too voted NO.
I just realized I posted the wrong son-in-law. I agree with you, however.

Nixon was *the* tragic figure of the 20th century.
And yet, and yet...twenty years after the resignation, when Newt's revolutionaries had taken over, and clinton had become irrelevant, where was President Nixon? The Statesman himself was in Moscow, tying up loose ends, saying goodbye to the old cold warriors he had helped to defeat.
> Have a pic of him hanging in my office.
I'm impressed.
Cool - I hope FReepers keep passing this thread along with the link. Getting ever closer to that 'more than 40% say not a hero' mark!
"And John Dean, whose operation it was, is a liberal hero, just like the Klintoons who illegally obtained almost 1,000 FBI files. Yet Chuck Colson looked at ONE and he had to be put in jail.
Liberal consistency! "
Check #86,...
Do you blame Nixon for that? Read post 62.
I have always wondered why Nixon did not destroy the tapes. I wondered that at the time.
Hmmmm.... If the Nixon administration would have had someone whacked, it would have been Jack Anderson.
And welcome to FRee Republic ...............................troll.
You have been blackjacked and dragged out back.
Bye, Dirty Tricks."He's dead, Jim!"
If he was privy to knowledge of a criminal offense his obligation was to report it. He didn't therefore HE broke the law. Probably a registered Democrat.
Hero my a__.

Yes, I agree totally.
Felt was a disgruntled employee who got passed over for a job. He then betrayed the POTUS because he could.
The liberal media then portrayed Nixon as the biggest criminal of the century.
Nixon had some flaws but overall he was one of the most effective presidents of that century, I'd say top 5 in my opinion. Now that we know who this snake is we can start to give Nixon his proper place in history.
