Why won’t the left blame Obama for airport screening abuse?
Examiner.com ^ | 11/17/2010 | Joe Alfieri

Where is the liberal outrage that was so much in evidence over the Patriot Act, now that the Transportation and Safety Administration is feeling up old women and taking naked pictures of children? Maybe I missed it, but I’ve scanned the headlines and can’t find the stories of anyone in Congress with a D after his name castigating Barack Obama over the administration’s policy to molest Americans who have the nerve to get on an airplane and go visit grandpa.

That is because Fascism is fine with them as long as they are the ones doing it.

Gee, I don’t know Joe. Maybe the whole Bush Patriot Act outrage was nothing but another phony left-wing/state-controlled-media scam that was made up out of whole cloth from the gitgo. It’s a thought, anyway.

I am trying to find out information regarding a head honcho in TSA who has an interest in the company making these airport body scanners, which incidently cost $300,000 each.
I heard this on Tom Sullivan’s radio show at the tail end.
Why isn’t this being broadcast from the rooftops?????

You just don’t understand the fascist mind. When you want to murder an infant, your right to privacy allows that and anyone who thinks otherwise is trying to take away your freedom. When you want to keep your cods in you shorts and hot have anyone mess with them, though, the mere potential loss of life over rules your right to individual privacy. It’s the difference between knowing in advance who will be murdered and not knowing who will be murdered, see?

Perhaps it’s because the Obama tribe sees this as just another approach to Speed Dating.

His name is Michael Chertoff, a Bush appointee.

Glenn Beck made the absolute best suggestion for TSA operations today on his TV program: hire the returning military personnel to work the TSA duty posts and use the ISraeli method ... assign the x=ray machines to the baggage departments for plane, trains, and offloading cargo shipping and semi-checkpoints/weigh stations. Of course that makes too much sense for the Barry the Bastard administration to do it.

Yes that is a good suggestion. I notice that El-Al has little trouble with would-be terrorists.

The problem is too many leftwingtards for comfort lay awake nights thinking about all those children being molested ~ it makes them feel good.

Yep. Never been an El Al flight hijacked IIRC. I like Glenn’s suggestion also because of the expertise of the hirees ... our returning fighting men and women are trained to be alert and are professionals. I would love to see them not only doing all the TSA stuff but openly armed in the airports also. We are not so great that we can’t use their skill sets ... just sayin’

The far left ,the most progressives of all, started attacking Bush with every move he made after 911. Then the entire left and all DEMS attacked him for any inconvenience the TSA caused. NOW THIS IS DEM CONTROLLED. Why do we not hear CNN blame Obama, Pelosi, Reid, plus their pals and the SIEU. I will promise all my 15K-20K points in Las Vegas in three days is done. That is only $750-1,000 in comps. You wanted Reid- You got him. All Conservatives need to stay out of Vegas as they ( the union) lied who they’d vote for.

Well, I mean if 911 was really done by the Bush administration, and Napolitano says the border is secure, then what do we need with airport scanners, anyway?

Yet the same people are all for it.

Besides, to blame O would be racist/sarc

The hypocrisy on the Left amazes me. On the drive in to work I turned on a local Leftist radio show, and host Bill Press and all his callers are defending TSA - saying “whatever it takes” to keep us safe is a good thing. Same thing on the afternoon drive with Ed Schultz.

Yet when Bush was in office he faced nothing but ridicule, scorn, and hatred because of recommendations that came out of Homeland Security. Wire taps, profiling, even the color codes alert levels were all targets for their wrath. Where was their “whatever it takes” attitude then?

They really don’t believe in whatever it takes. They don’t believe in this country, they worship at the feet of big leftist liberal government. I’m reluctant to call them Americans.

I was at a art session tonight with mainly liberals. The scans and pat downs came up and they were all very happy to be groped.

One elderly lady wears a leg brace and she knows she is going to get the pat down. she did notice the new pat down was more aggressive but she was Ok with it.

I am sure this group thought the patriot act was the end of the world. But getting groped by the TSA isn’t an invasion of privacy. OK, I get it.
