On the "government snooping" ... wasn't that what we "liberals" and the ACLU were warning

[zbdent]

the rest of the U.S. about when the USA PATRIOT Act was put into place?

And all the RWers were saying things like:

"ACLU stands for All Criminals Love Us"

"If you're not doing anything wrong, what do you have to worry about?"

and

"Why do you hate America?"

We even gave them the ultimate thing which should have outraged them and scared them into keeping this from becoming law ... "Just think of it this way ... President Hillary!"

1. The ACLU freed Oliver North & stopped Bush41 from being prosecuted?? That ACLU?

[zbdent]

4. You just supplied the names of two criminals ...

thanks!

6. Who would have been prosecuted without the ACLU helping them.

yes, I know they didn't actually help them in advance, but I bet the situation was set up knowing it would be reversed due to technicalities.

5. In the Northeast Ohio area, you had a local GOP party head

(Alex Arshinkoff) have his wife file a motion with the ACLU because his yard sign was too big for the local regulations ... the ACLU defended the scumbucket.

2. It sure sounded like us. (nt)

3. The difference is now if we say anything...

..then it's "Why do you hate Obama?!?!!?" or "Why do you agree with the Republicans?!?!?!"

Like a lot of things over the past 4 years or so, people seem to look the other way when it's "our" team doing it. And a lot of what "our team" is doing is just as bad as the Republicans.
