PMSNBC Hardball debacle

Posted on 01/09/2006 2:40:18 PM PST by Gillmeister

Is anyone else watching this free hour of programming for Democrats?


TOPICS: TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: hardball; msnbwho; situationnormal
Norah O'Donnell, (the obviously liberal hack, albeit nice looking)is interviewing another Richard Clarke wannabe, James Risen about his "blockbuster" book on the Bush Admin. and she asked him how many people are being spyed on right now. He said as many as 500 at any one time, and the dolt O'Donnell actually said "That's alot, isn't it", and he said yes!!!!! Let me get this straight, there are 280 million people in the US, and they are worried about 500 people being listened in on? I have a cousin in Denver (pop. 560,000), I hope he's not the one!

When is this guy Risen going to be prosecuted? Isn't disclosing Classified information to an unauthorized person a crime?

500 people is a lot compared with MSNBC viewership.

Whenever liberals prattle on about the abuses of the state, I feel like retching.

The only reason they don't like it is that their horse lost. If a Democrat were President, any use of executive power, no matter how egregious, would be condoned.

you have to remember, two people per call so that's 250 or one person out of every million people in the country that's receiving calls or making calls to either known or suspected AlQaeda terrorists plotting terrorist attacks against the US from overseas.

Something we have to look forward to: More and more hysterical idiots calling into C-Span to report their phones they are a-clicking, somebody's listening in! And of course the MSM will eventually get with the program, Chris Matthews will have them on HARDBALL.

I think it was Saturday morning, a female C-span caller from Georgia called in because she knew the feds were listening in to her calls. She was a republican she said, voted for Bush twice, but very very involved with education, and she was absolutely sure the government was eavesdropping. It was one of the goofier C-Span callers I've heard, and I bet it's only the beginning.

Right after 9/11 if you had told all the dumb bricks in the liberal MSM that agressively pursuing Al Qaeda and other terrorists would surely involve rapid follow up and surveillance on any and all terrorist phone and fax and email addresses obtained in raids..... if you had told these dumb bricks that surely at least 500+ Al Qaeda associates and correspondents in the USA would get caught up in this vitally necessary surveillance and investigatory web..... none but the most rabid leftists (and a few doctrinaire libertarians) would have said "NO WAY, we can't allow the NSA to perform surveillance on Al Qaeda phone numbers, etc."

It would have seemed a "no brainer" then but now that many people have sunk into comfortable lethargy and stupor it seems that Al Qaeda is no threat but that protecting Al Qaeda associates from any surveillance is the highest priority.

If the person doing the disclosing is authorized to know the classified info to begin with, yes. So it may be the person or persons who gave Risen the info who could be charged with a crime.

You're correct. Risen is the reporter. The indivdual(s) who really should be prosecuted are the ones who had access and then disclosed it to him.

Of course, he is obligated to tell the FBI who gave him the information.
