Nixon or Deep Throat: Who's Worse?
I am too young to remember Nixon, and frankly never cared. My only real knowledge of the Watergate fiasco comes from a scene in the movie "Forest Gump." I never even knew that the term Watergate came from a the name of a hotel. Again- I really didn't care. So, when this "big news" hit- I was yawning. All I knew about Nixon was SCANDAL. I had no knowledge on ANYTHING else about his Presidency. NONE.
Today I found this story. Yeah- Nixon is still a stain, but all in all- I don't think he is the WORST character in this entire story. I don't think Felt is the real "villian" either. Sadly, the REAL scum in this whole story seems to be the media- and even worse- Felt's family. SHAME ON THEM! As more unfolds in this story, it will become clear why I see it this way, but for today- enjoy this piece by Ben Stein.
Deep Throat and Genocide
Re: The "news" that former FBI agent Mark Felt broke the law, broke his code of ethics, broke his oath and was the main source for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's articles that helped depose Richard Nixon, a few thoughts.
Can anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POW's, ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel's life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does anyone remember what he did that was bad?
Oh, now I remember. He lied. He was a politician who lied. How remarkable. He lied to protect his subordinates who were covering up a ridiculous burglary that no one to this date has any clue about its purpose. He lied so he could stay in office and keep his agenda of peace going. That was his crime. He was a peacemaker and he wanted to make a world where there was a generation of peace. And he succeeded.
That is his legacy. He was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a lying, conniving seducer like Clinton -- a lying, conniving peacemaker. That is Nixon's kharma.
When his enemies brought him down, and they had been laying for him since he proved that Alger Hiss was a traitor, since Alger Hiss was their fair-haired boy, this is what they bought for themselves in the Kharma Supermarket that is life:
1.) The defeat of the South Vietnamese government with decades of death and hardship for the people of Vietnam.
2.) The assumption of power in Cambodia by the bloodiest government of all time, the Khmer Rouge, who killed a third of their own people, often by making children beat their own parents to death. No one doubts RN would never have let this happen.
So, this is the great boast of the enemies of Richard Nixon, including Mark Felt: they made the conditions necessary for the Cambodian genocide. If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is such a thing as justice in this life of the next, Mark Felt has bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth. And Bob Woodward is right behind him, with Ben Bradlee bringing up the rear. Out of their smug arrogance and contempt, they hatched the worst nightmare imaginable: genocide. I hope they are happy now -- because their future looks pretty bleak to me.

Really, here comes the answer all involved with Watergate have been waiting to hear. Who Cares?! The problem is that they never "allow" any of this information to come out until it is several decades later when the guilty parties would be so old, what would incarceration do? Also, if he is guilty of blowing the whistle on a corrupt Republican(or even if he were a Democrat), then we need more whistleblowers to reveal how dishonest and corrupt our government representatives(Corporate Kingpins) really are.
