Religious right: Nixon was innocent



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Or I guess that's what they're saying. As good Christians they clearly aren't suggesting we let criminals off the hook. Or are they?....

...Debate continues as to whether the informant once known as "Deep Throat" is a hero or a villain for helping bring down the Nixon administration. Author and commentator Dr. Jerome Corsi is one of those who feels Mark Felt's clandestine leaks to the Washington Post during the Watergate investigation helped create the atmosphere that led to the tearing down of America's defense structure. Corsi says Felt's revelations led to a series of events, including "the Church committee, the dismantling of America's intelligence system, the weakening of the FBI, the detriment of our ability to catch criminals, including international criminals," and "a web that has made it impossible for the CIA to function and protect us and may even have led to 9/11." Felt is a villain, not a hero, Corsi asserts. Because of "the weakening that the Left wanted to do on the intelligence administration," he says, "for them Mark Felt is also a hero. And for us on the conservative Right, Mark Felt did a great disservice to the United States in pursuit of his personal goals by helping the cause of the Left to weaken our so badly needed intelligence and law enforcement services." For these reasons, Corsi concludes, in the final analysis Felt is "more of a villain than hero." And instead of lionizing Felt as a hero, the author contends, the national media should have vilified "Deep Throat" as Corsi feels they did with other whistleblowers such as Linda Tripp, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey.
Ah, so now Deep Throat is responsible for 9/11. If we had only let Nixon get away with it. Not to mention, Nixon sanctioning a break-in of the Democratic Headquarters is the same level crime as Bill Clinton getting a blow job (though, then again, these are the people who want the government to regulate masturbation, so maybe in their minds they really ARE the same level of crime).
