Leahy wants to know about Pentagon "spying" on protests

Boston Globe ^ | December 29, 2005 | AP

[SF Republican]

I guess he didn't get what he wanted for Christmas.

[p23185]

I think it is about time the NSA start listening in on Congresscritters communications!!

[Lexington Green]

Why isn't Leahy in prison for leaking classified information?

[boomop1]

It is his tainted past and am sure he is the same traitor.

If Virginia is for lovers.......

Vermont is for buffoons

Leaky Leahy.....extra-terrestrial Sanders.....Dean the destroyer.

A transparent,pathetic attempt to reframe an issue that they have lost on.

[xcamel]

Sneaky, Leaky, Cheeky, Leahy from the CCCP-VT

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Seadog, that is calling a filthy spade a spade, my friend. Well done.

[Reactionary]

Ooo. I guess the idiot liberals lost the previous battle, so now they're re-framing the issue, moving the goalposts, trying to keep their latest stupidity alive.

What else is new? It won't be long before they have another little contrived scandal to get themselves in a lather about. And, as usual, the American people will look at them with disgust and revulsion.

[shuckmaster]

I thought the whole point of a protest was to get the governments attention?

"Besides, I told the Department of Defense, if they really want to hear Vermonters speak out against the war, they don't have to send a camera crew to snoop around Vermont, just turn on C-SPAN," Leahy said. "I do it on the Senate floor all the time."

I hope the MSM takes Leahy's advice. If they did, the Cindy Sheheen story wouldn't have been manufactured. But wherever two anti-war activists meet, the MSM is there.

RE: "I guess the idiot liberals lost the previous battle, so now they're re-framing the issue, moving the goalposts, trying to keep their latest stupidity alive."

...Perhaps just symptoms of their actual long-term goal...?

[TexasCajun]

You might be a Redneck if:

1. It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

2. You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

3. You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival".

4. You remove your hat and bow your head when anyone prays.

5. You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play our National Anthem.

6. You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

7. You've never burned an American flag, but would kick someone's BUTT that did.

8. You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

9. You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

10. You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Hope you don't mind, I liked it.

-Good Work-

Yes, and this bunch of idiots has certainly earned the attention. The government needs to be watching AND identifying them so they can cut their welfare checks.

[AmishDude]

If the protesters don't want to be subject to surveillance, then they should conduct all protests behind closed doors. Which is something we should all get behind.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Leftist pigs whined and moaned about this same thing back during the sixties. I guess it shows that Commies never change. Just the same old tired crap they are always spewing.

"Besides, I told the Department of Defense, if they really want to hear Vermonters speak out against the war, they don't have to send a camera crew to snoop around Vermont, just turn on C-SPAN," Leahy said.

Well of course that's exactly why the DoD was spying on the protests. Leaky zoned in on the real reason without missing a beat.

He didn't waste a moment's thought of even the slightest possibility that it might have been to uncover participants' ties with enemies of the U. S.

just turn on C-SPAN," Leahy said. "I do it on the Senate floor all the time."

That's why no one is watching. It's hard enough to see idiots protest but to watch Senators who are supposed to be trying to protect the UNITED STATES CITIZENS, act just like anti-war protestors on the SENATE FLOOR, while MEN AND WOMEN ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES, makes my blood boil.

I'm sure he thinks that remark is "cute" (and it probably is to MSM & people inside the beltway) but it isn't "cute" to me! I can't help but think of the 3,000 people (and their families and friends) who died on 9/11, like the ones who JUMPED TO THEIR DEATHS, when idiots like him make their "cute" remarks.

I would pay thousands of dollars just for the chance to slap people like him in the face just once! Let's see how "cute" he really is with a hand mark on the side of his ugly *ss face. SPIT!
