‘Fox & Friends’ suddenly against wiretapping they supported under Bush

[damnedifIknow]

"Steve Doocy, suddenly a legal expert of PATRIOT Act violations, said that this kind of data seizure is a violation of the Act’s section 215, which “said that you could go after people based on individual investigations,” but forbids data collection from average citizens. He went on to call it a “gigantic overreach” on the Obama administration’s part.

However, in 2006, Doocy and other Fox hosts were saying the exact opposite about NSA wiretaps.

Media Matters reported that in the wake of revelations that the NSA might be conducting wholesale data-mining on U.S. citizens, the hosts of “Fox and Friends” openly nixed the term “warrantless wiretapping” in favor of calling the spying “the terrorist surveillance program” and went out of their way to justify the practice."

1. And there's other people against it that didn't notice it under Bush.

2. Because when the Republicans do it, it's "protecting our country".

When the Democrats do it, it's "destroying the fourth amendment and our civil liberties." Fuck off with your double standards, Fox & Friends.

4. Steve Doocy Put The Doo In Doochebag

He might be an expert in ear hair and toe jam, but not much else.
