Unlike Mark Felt, I didn't get a chuckle out of this taped conversation between Felt and then President Nixon over the arrest of the shooting suspect of former Gov. George Wallace:

The May 15, 1972, phone call is believed to be the only tape-recorded conversation between Nixon and Felt, the No. 2 FBI official. Nixon expressed satisfaction when Felt told him the suspect had some cuts and bruises.

"I hope they worked him over a little bit more than that," Nixon said.

"I think they did pretty well," Felt, who now lives in Santa Rosa, responded with a chuckle.

    Felt's was passed over for the top job in our FBI, So he came after our boy Nixon, the reason why is felt's wanted hoover's power and that is why he did what he did. by the way that cost 5 million lives, check out what happened in 1972-1976. it is said that Felt's can no longer find his butt with both hands, see people this is what happens to Rats like felt's and his kind of guy. Why I hate the FBI, IN 1947 My father who was a combat vet, 1941 to 1945, Was Fired from his job that he loved because most of the guys had been combat vet's at this government job when a guy like felt's showed up one day and told my father that he was a marxist, my father asked him what is a marxist? and my father was arrested for political investigation after about a week my father was released but never got his job back. that was the thinks he a other's got for being combat vet's and fighting for the empire. my father was not a Bolshevik or a socialist in fact the only guy he voted for in his 82 years was FDR, Now tell me we live in the land of freedom. my father was stopped from getting any-kind of Real job in his life, yes felt's go to hell with old Hoover you are both pig.

    Sorry about your dad, Fred. I always wondered if Nixon ordered the hit on George Wallace, fearing that Wallace would siphon off the redneck vote from him like he did in '68.

    Fred...It's unspeakable what happened to your dad and many other good men. Anybody who thought the working man was getting a raw deal in this country became an enemy of the state. Most unfortunately, it seems we have not learned from that black mark in our history.

    The suggestion that Felt is responsible for 2-5 million deaths is RIDICULOUS. Fred, you've outdone yourself. Henry F* Kissinger is your boy, Fred. Richard Nixon and he triggered one of the largest genocides in modern history. Which is undoubtedly why Bush tried to put F* Kissinger in charge of the 9i1 investigation, eh? After all, the terrorist who illegally bombed Cambodia and Laos knows a thing or two about the psychology of terrorism. F* Kissinger says that Nixon was just getting an erection talking like that. Apparently, the presidential bj wasn't invented for another twenty years, poor sap.

    The Cambodian and Vietnamese slaughters after our exit were to be expected as a byproduct of our exit. The other side were not good guys-of course, I would not expect you to acknowledge that as it would apparently blow your mind to not be able to blame the US. If you acknowledge that getting out of VN was a good thing, at least be honest enough to add the slaughter of millions of cambodians and vietnamese into the equation.

    Fred: Provide a link or for your laxy linking butt a reference that shows what you stated was responsible for 5 million deaths. Check your medication, repeat, check your medication.

    The question of getting out of Vietnam is mute when America never should have been in there... Don't you think?
