In an exclusive interview with Cenk Uygur on MSNBCs Dylan Ratigan Show, Julian Assange described criticism in Washington and elsewhere of WikiLeaks as nothing short of attacks on journalism and the first amendment. Pressed by Uygur on comments made recently by Mike Huckabee and others who consider Assange a terrorist, the WikiLeaks founder dismissed Huckabee as another idiot trying to make a name for himself.
Assange called people like Sarah Palin and Huckabee shock jock politicians.
Assange called attempts to shut down WikiLeaks and arrest its leader digital McCarthyism and issued what he described as a warning to journalists that failure to defend his right to publish cables and other government documents would ultimately empower the U.S. government to shut down not just WikiLeaks but anyone who publishes information the government doesnt like. Assange said to journalists who dont side with him: youre next.
Perhaps his harshest words were unleashed on Republican critics whove called for his arrestand apparently Assange keeps tabs on those comments by watching Fox News.

So MSNBC allows a rapist on their network to spew his crap, how fitting
Well, now we know FoxNews has another dedicated fan...
I’d love to have Julian rant and rave to his heart’s content. Let’s all get a good look at this egomaniac.
At least I can rest content that one of us nerds got back at the system? I shoulda become a hacktivist, I’d be getting rockstar treatment and nookie on tap just like him...
Funny, he never mentioned Vice President Joe BiteMe, as he had called him a terrorist too....oh well, a democrat...they get the benefit of the doubt.
Lame.
FUJA!
Oh, please, he's just a flannel wearing fraud...
Well, isn’t that special? And SO unexpected! not
Sounds like a winner in the "standing headlines" contest. You know, one of those headlines the newspapers used to permanently set in type because they had to use it so often.
Did he also attack the guy who plays him on SNL?
"But I don't always wear flannel! Please love me?"

This idiot better remember that most countries do not have a freedom of press article to protect him from hanging himself while in custody.
Sarah Palin could treat him like a caribou. This time she will have the scope aligned properly, and only need one shot!
The leftist lunatics at MSNBC and elsewhere are running this country down.
Any doubts why the fat bastard Moore bailed him out?
