While I posted earlier on my hesitance to deify Mark Felt for his actions as Deep Throat, Nixon apologists have sunk to new lows in the bile they spew.
Here are some choice quotes from Pat Buchanan, psychopath extraordinaire.
On MSNBC:
"He's undercutting the president in the middle of a campaign...Well, look, it brought down a president. And I think that cost us Vietnam, frankly."
(More disturbing crap from all three on the inside)
How in the fuck bringing down a corrupt evil man made us loose a war which most felt unwinnable prior to the election of Nixon is absolutly baffling to me. I assume we can only blame this statement on Pat being utterly deranged. The Washington Post also quoted him this morning calling Felt "a traitor."
The most hillarious quote of the day comes from G. Gordon Liddy, the man in charge of the Watergate break in:
"[Felt] violated the ethics of the law enforcement profession. If he possessed evidence of wrongdoing, he was honor-bound to take that to a grand jury and secure an indictment, not to selectively leak it to a single news source,"
You have got to be fucking kidding me! The law enforcement official who orchestrated the crime is now saying the law enforcement official who uncovered the crime is dishonorable? What a screamer. What a demented, moronic hack.
Finally, you have Chuckie Colson, who served seven months in prison for Watergate:
"Mark first served this country with honor, and I can't imagine how Mark Felt was sneaking in dark alleys leaving messages under flower pots and violating his oath to keep this nation's secrets. I cannot compute that with the Mark Felt that I know."
There is another screamer. Regardless of what you feel about the methods used, the fact of the matter is that Felt saved this nation from a corrupt and evil man. To say this is dishonorable to the nation is laughable. Felt provided a great service, was he a hero? I can't say that, but he certainly ridded us of a cancer on our society, and for that, I remain grateful.
