No. Not hypocritical. I have said that these sources are liberal and biased. If anything this story being run by them is even more impactful for that very reason, because it is so unusual. Let me spell it out for you. There is blood in the water, and even the liberal media can't ignore it. The feeding frenzy is about to begin. I think this all started with revelations that Obama's administration had been spying on the very people that have been running double time to protect him in the news. I see that era coming to an end, well for Obama and maybe Hillary Clinton anyway.

One more thing - if Nuck hadn't made the pre-emptive joke he made, one of you would surely have tried to discredit PBS, no doubt in my mind.

"Land Slide" is the only thing that comes to mind when I read your posts. The Blood in the Water is nothing more than left overs from last November, that you've been swirling around to to get a reaction. This is also true for most of the 53% who "don't suckle on the Teet of the Gov't for their Obama-phone"

Exactly, how anyone misses this is beyond me.

I told you so. There, I said it. Tell me I'm wearing a tin foil hat... Seriously.

The only problem is that the 2 people interviewed were both with the NSA years ago and left during the reign of GWB. As I think I have said - this is all old news and has been going on ever since the NSA had the tech to do it, and only got really invasive with the Patriot Act (which at least provided a legal framework and some limited oversight). To think that this information coming out now means we can hang it all around Barry's neck is disingenuous.

So no tinfoil hat - the gov't is watching you, and me and the rest of us. As it has been for likely for every year of my adult life, and probably ever year of life for most of our members.

Not really. He did extend it what 2 or 3 times now, hid it from the public eye after all his transparency bullshit, and he's added to it. So hanging it around his head is apt. We just shouldn't leave him hanging alone for long.
