To any trolling Freepers here.....

[Jack The Tab]

How can any Freeper even begin to defend this administrations actions regarding the Plame scandal?

Amazingly, they do. If you read their justifications as to why this is no big deal, you would be just as mortified as I was.

So, to any Freeper, trolling around, read this and keep trying to defend this administrations actions:

>>>

We've heard a lot about how blowing Plame's cover was probably illegal and certainly dishonorable. But let's walk through what the implications are.

Plame's beat, if we can use that word, was weapons of mass destruction. And, of course, WMD is the big issue. It's why Iraq, why Joe Wilson, why Niger, why CIA referrals. That's what's at the bottom of all this stuff. Keeping WMD out of the wrong hands is, or was, Plame's job.

If that's her job you can figure that over the years she's been involved in various operations aimed at tracking proliferation, worked with various human sources, all sorts of stuff like that.

Now Plame's name has been splashed across papers all over the world. And the folks that leaked her name made sure that they used her maiden name, Plame -- the one she did most of her work under -- rather than Wilson, the name which I'm told she now goes by.

So now her name's out. You couldn't unlock everything just knowing her name -- covers are used and so forth. But once you know Plame is CIA, and what she looks like and so forth, you unravel most if not everything. And now every bad-actor and bad-acting government knows that anything that Plame was involved with, any operation, any company she was supposed to be working for, any people she worked closely with, are probably also CIA or at least work with CIA. WMD bad-guys now know to steer clear of them.

Let's say there's some operation Plame hasn't been involved with for a decade -- but it's still on-going. People will remember she used to be in on that operation and thus it's tagged as an Agency operation and it's useless. Everyone will know to steer clear.

Now, I have no knowledge of any operations Plame was involved in or covers she used. These are hypotheticals. But it gives you a sense of the sort of work she was involved in and the potential collateral damage of exposing her cover. And consider what her work was: protecting Americans from weapons of mass destruction. Chew on that irony.

1. They obviously can't defend it

And while Freepers are generally stupid, they've seen what has happened to their friends who "spoke up" on here, so I doubt that they will all come out of the woods now.

2. I honestly just want any troll to read it...

Lord knows they wouldn't try to defend themselves in a post.

To me, Josh sums up exactly how much concern this administration has for national security. Partisan politics will always trump whatever bullshit they spew to the public.

They got caught bigtime this time because the media woke up, or needed a juicy story to tide them over for a while. Either way, the machinations of this group of serial liars is out in the open.

To think about what they have done for our national security.

5. FREEPERS PUT THEIR PARTY ABOVE THEIR COUNTRY

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO DAMN DISGUSTING.

6. It's hard for a freeper to use a keyboard...

...becuase they have not evolved the spine to sit-up straight on a chair, nor the critical thinking element that is needed for coharent thought without Hannity style shout-down tactic, and the famed O'reilly shut-up tactic.

Did I forget the Rush "this is a racial slur, not a racial slur/joke" tactic also?


They see your thread: But they "Fear" they can't take us on in a "fair and balanced" discussion.
