(1,423 posts)The racist accusation has thin evidence except for the timing of the President's tenure.
The real winners in this debacle are those dividing the Democratic Party. Has the spying revelations really changed anyone's life that much? As pointed out be other posters, we've all known they have been trying to realize total information awareness since the times of Bill Clinton and Wesley Clark.
Its my overall accusation that despite this memory hole gap, that focusing on this and making it more of a major deal in regular people's lives only serve to divide and conquer what has been a Democratic Party on a nice roll these last 8 years.
If the machine, the runaway train Bush unleashed could not be brought under control by the President, can we hardly blame him for that?
