Because, really, who gives a shit about cartoons that offend people?
Don't you just love a President who appoints an Attorney General who doesn't believe in the law to begin with? Out of all the terrible Attorney Generals there have been, Alberto Gonzales is the worst. I mean, Jesus Christ, what Attorney General would actually quote this as PROOF that what he is doing is LEGAL and MORALLY CORRECT?
GONZALES: President Wilson, in World War I, authorized the military to intercept each and every cable, telephone and telegraph communication going into or out of the United States.
During World War II, President Roosevelt instructed the government to use listening devices to learn the plans of spies in the United States. He also gave the military the authority to review, without warrant, all telecommunications, quote, "passing between the United States and any foreign country."
What the FUCK? Woodrow Wilson's police state that he tried to set up during WWI is arguably looked on with the same disgust as his blatant racism. I suppose we're now going to say "Well, because we threw Japanese in internment camps and went on a rampage looking for "COMMUNISTS" during the 50's, that gives us pretext to do whatever the fuck we want to do"
Absolutely no inclination towards responsibility or actually learning something from our blunders in history.
You have to wonder how far the Bush loyalists will push this nonsense before they actually give in and stop supporting the President. Is there anything he can do wrong? Watch them explain away the FISA law and call those who support impeachment (for BREAKING THE LAW) "crazy" and "I can't believe you actually think he should be impeached."
Bob and weave, bob and weave. It has to get tiring.
Or not. Most likely, they'll do something like this. Yes, that's right, threaten all those who disagree with the specter of money being taken away. You GOTTA love democracy folks. You dare disagree with the President? YOU GET BLACKLISTED! Does that sound like a FUCKING democracy to you? Read the article. Why is Rove so scared?
The sources said the administration has been alarmed over the damage that could result from the Senate hearings, which began on Monday, Feb. 6. They said the defection of even a handful of Republican committee members could result in a determination that the president violated the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Such a determination could lead to impeachment proceedings.
The gallows would be too kind for Rove and Gonzales.
Really, how much more must it take? Abramoff, DeLay, Libby, Leaking CIA operatives names. Ney, Cheney, Halliburton....secret energy meetings....
And you moderates out there say NOTHING. You are as bad as them. If people like Specter and Hagel don't start standing up to this blatant disregard for checks and balances in the government, then the entire term of "moderate Republican" must be thrown out. We'll replace it with "Extremist fuckheads who can't see 2 feet in front of them so they bow down to the executive branch like he's a fucking KING"
What a waste of life.
And that's right. What does the "Justice" Department do during this time of breaking the law? Right - investigate the source of the leak. Just like whatever patriot it was who leaked that we had illegal prisons where we tortured people.
You Bush apologists disgust me.
