"Missing" evidence is familiar Bush pattern

The latest revelations of obstruction of justice involve two familiar ingredients: Deliberate destruction of evidence and acquiescence by key congressional Democrats.

The letters thread is now closed.

Hey, L.eft W.ing M.oron. Didn't you get banned for serial badmouth spamming?

I see you are better about the badmouth, but not the spamming. Anyone here want to start a pool on how long it takes him to be banned again? I'm thinking a month should do it. Heh.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE OUT THERE...

Worse than this LAWLESS and UNCONSTIUTIONAL, FLAGRANT DISREGARD for the RULE OF LAW of America by Bush, Cheney and Bushland Uber Allies Fascist-Nazi Nazi-fascist goons, are the QUISLING Democrats like Harman and Rockefeller(why am I not surprised by the actions of the BAD seed of that EVIL family of Rockefellers), as well as roll-over and kiss Master CHIMPya's butt-hole Democrats like Dianne Feinstein, Joe LIE-berman and the like. These QUISLINGS are worse than the black-hearted repugnicant-repub fudged-pachyderms who at least make no qualms about acting the way they do! It is this kind of meek and passive behavior which CAN NOT BE TOLERATED. Democrats SHOULD BE GOING AFTER CHIMPya/Cheney/Bushland Uber Allies' SCALPS, in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, NAIL THEIR ASSES TO THE WALL, IMPEACH, CONVICT, SENTENCE and EXECUTE THESE GODDAMNED WAR and CIVIL CRIMINALS Bush, Cheney, Bushland Uber Allies and ALL THEIR QUISLING SUPPORTERS in the Democrats as well!!!!! Glenn Greenwald, I salute you for pointing these INCONVENIENT TRUTHS OUT!!!!!

Uh, no

Never been banned here, Shooty.

Glenn even thanked me for a comment I made on this very thread.

Are you jealous?

A familiar Greenwald pattern..

Seeing as how Al Qaeda only takes prisoners to make beheading videos I really couldn't care less about how these 'operatives' were treated.

Salon is based in San Francisco which, by the way, is a target-rich environment as far as Al Qaeda is concerned. It will be even more of one once that landmark skyscraper at the Transbay terminal is completed. While I was pretty traumatized by the original 9/11 the outspoken efforts by Salonistas and other Democrat partisans to enable another one will likely result in massive schadenfreude if it goes down in San Francisco. Especially if Glenn winds up base jumping sans parachute.

Ugh.

Like a pathological display at a medical museum.

Creepy.

Hey LWM

I find myself even agreeing with Shooters last comment.

Surely you have reached that 25% comment limit that I thought bebop has?

Let's see you've tried the anti-semite-David Duke argument to no avail--so now you say I'm "off the rails"?

Yet, when I've read the post-it was about what Harman and Rockefeller knew about torture, and other things..

So I'm assuming/or not those other things these 2 may have known about was Israeli involvement in these Telecom wiretapping, by Israeli companies like Comverse and Amdocs-and why they would be so reluctant to hand over American 4th Amendment rights..

Guess I'm just a little "touchy" about having my rights stripped away by neocons and Blue Dogs and would like to find out why and who is doing it.

Silly me.

Sorry but just cause you like to spam to your hearts content on anything and everything as stupid as weather patterns and rainfall amounts to prove a point over someone who lives/d there-is the height of imbecility in the "off the rails"argument.

Yes, Beth

I find myself even agreeing with Shooters last comment.

You should take some preventative measures, something like a vaccination, some form of prophylaxis, before that condition becomes chronic. Try to stay in the reality based community. It's somewhere between the Joos caused 9/11 and we must nuke Mecca if we are ever to be able to sleep safely in our beds.

Started in the 40s by writers who all worked for Partisan Review to expose Soviet communism. all started being liberal and Marxist-but then shifted from breaking with Goldwater (being anti-hippy..)to form what is now the neocon movement.

So Pantanal, do you think Chavez's methods should be copied here?

Let's see, that would allow Bush to....
* Shut down CNN
* Nationalize the oil industry, and drill wherever he likes,
* Nationalize telecommunications, no need for warrants to listen to anyone,
* Nationalize electrical companies,
http://tinyurl.com/26z2vd

* Enlarge the Supreme Court and bypass Congress to name the new Justices
http://hrw.org/english/docs/2004/12/14/venezu9864.htm
* Have Code Pink people shot,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7084262.stm
* Be granted dictatorial powers
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a6m70ULqKwJk&refer=home

That's all after eliminating the Democrat Party as well.
The funny part is that people think they defeated Chavez's abusive reforms in a vote when he already has total power decreed until June 2008.

If you are willing to advocate Bush's ascension to Supreme Ruler, let's hear you talk about it. Unlike Bush Chavez has oil to fund his "peoples" programs, which like Iran will last until the oil starts to dwindle because of incompetence. As for polling, is it any surprise that people are in favor of being bribed? Apparently you are. Hopefully, the next set of demonstrations don't have the army shooting at them.

How many nations are gravitating to orbit around China, Shooter?

Quite a few, including us. Google "china influence" and you'll get a host of articles about the subject and countries they have growing ties to.

shooter

I actually like the idea of nationalizing our oil-and think it would solve alot of problems. Does not mean I'd advocate for drilling in protected lands-but I think there is enough offshore to makeup for that-in conjunction with a plan of other energy technologies.

LWM: Let's see: David Duke

"off the rails"

now "Da jooooz"

I did not say Israel is responsible for 9-11 or where you got that from.

READ please.

I said some Israeli military working in this country were picked up after 911 as having inside info beforehand-and that for some reason, that info was classified.

Fox's words, Brit Humes' actually.

Not conspiracy-these were actual arrests and classification of those arrests.

Don't bother beth

LWM is a bitter old True Believer who is so polarized it has mommy issues because of it (look at its very first letter). All LWM does is defend the Establishment and the status quo while dismissing everything else as a conspiracy theory from whatever wedge issue bigot card it feels like pulling from the deck, be it gender/religion/race/etc/etc/etc.

Divide and conquer is its speciality.
