The libs always rely on faulty memories or more like selective amnesia of past statements, positions or events.
This whole hoopla over "wiretaps" is nothing but a lib manufactured news story and "scandal".
The link is incorrect
"At that time, the Times called the surveillance a necessity."
Clinton and the NYT considered Rush Limbaugh and the Heritage Institute the 'terrorists' that must be watched. What truly does scare me about Presidential wire taps is that Clinton used every service at his disposal to watch and collect intelligence on his political enemies in the US, and the MSM refused not only to criticize it, but wouldn't even report it honsetly. Another case of the 'watchdog' press being a Democrats lap dog.
Rush has been discussing this in the past few minutes.
This is why history will not be kind to the Clinton presidency. At best he will be judged as a mediocre president. His blunder was his belief that the greatest threat to America was a few fringe groups that may have been racist/separatist and hated certain elements of our government. If his Echelon program would have focused its attention where it should have been focused we could be that much further ahead in our fight against islamofascist terrorism.
You're not supposed to remember this.
Not only do they adamantly oppose it now, most lamestream media don't even call it "surveillance.' They refer to it as "spying," which sounds a bit more evil.
