Julian Assange Attacks Sarah Palin, Fox News, And Mike Huckabee On MSNBC
Mediaite ^ | December 22, 2010 | Mark Joyella

Posted on 12/22/2010 2:57:16 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

In an exclusive interview with Cenk Uygur on MSNBC’s 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 doesn’t like. Assange said to journalists who don’t side with him: “you’re next.”

Perhaps his harshest words were unleashed on Republican critics who’ve called for his arrest–and apparently Assange keeps tabs on those comments by watching Fox News.

Watch it here, from MSNBC:

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.

"Assange said to journalists who don’t side with him: “you’re next.”"

This SOB should be counting his blessings that someone hasn't put a bullet in his head yet. Heaven help him if he ends up within range of me.

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?

Hypocrisy: Julian Assange Blasts Media for Publishing Leaks About Him

Newsbusters ^

” You just can’t make this stuff up. According to the Times of London, Julian Assange is angry at the UK Guardian for publishing details of sexual assault allegations against him based on…wait for it…a leaked police report. “

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!
