(Transcript) Rush: Sarah Palin Told Us Obama Would Give Miranda Rights to Terrorists

Citizen Palin 4 President ^

RUSH: We talked yesterday, just as the program was ending we got the news, Stephen Hayes, at the Weekly Standard on his blog mentioned that terrorist detainees in Afghanistan are being read their Miranda rights. This signals a huge shift once again that fighting terrorism is a criminal enterprise. It brings back the old days of the way the Clinton administration went about it. But when you start Mirandizing noncitizens, especially foreign enemy combatants on the battlefield, when you start Mirandizing them, you are granting them constitutional rights when they are not citizens. Now, if you can do that, if you can grant a constitutional right and Mirandize a foreign terrorist, enemy combatant, then I guess you can automatically grant citizenship to people who are not citizens, couldn't you? Andy McCarthy has written much about this at National Review Online, and he actually goes back and says one of the people that can be blamed for this is Senator McCain. I don't have his story right in front of me, but Senator McCain supported -- back when McCain was on his anti-torture bandwagon and was trying to curry favor with people on the left to get their votes by agreeing that the US tortured people. One of the ways that McCain sought to prevent torture and make it illegal, which it always has been anyway, was to make it possible for what the Obama administration is doing. And they did this on the quiet. It took a member of Congress finding this out. Sarah Palin warned of this in her acceptance speech at St. Paul, the Republican convention, last September.

PALIN: Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried that someone won't read 'em their right

that fighting terrorism is a criminal enterprise.

That's interesting......the democratic party is a criminal enterprise, too.

[television is just wrong]

history will not be so kind to Mr. Obama.

[mazda77]

Nor to the typically stupid American citizen.

[Vendome]

Presently is not working well either.

I look for his poll numbers to drop lower than a dry well.

[television is just wrong]

I look for that too. He is a failure in every sense.

[Vendome]

Maybe he practices every day.

Can’t wait to see him in front of Putin, in a few months. He will probably give them the technology they are asking for.

Now let me get this right. Obama ass kisser Eugene Robinson in the WaPo says Obama KNOWS we’re in a war aginst jihadists and cites the shooting war in Afghanistan, not the action against the terrorists trying to cause damage elsewhere in the world. But ER says Obama knows. If so, they if these guys in the Afghan theater are enemy combatants, why the Mirandizing, jerk off? Battlefield criminal prosceution techniques just aren’t the same as the rules of war, are they ER, you mindless shill?
