More Democrats are charging that President Bush and the Republicans are using the war on terrorism as an excuse to deprive Americans of civil rights and civil liberties, the latest development in a series of attacks aimed at the president's pursuit of war in Iraq.

Civil rights are only possessed by citizens. They are not at all the same thing as
human rights. Typical democrat ignorance and misuse of terms.

These are foreign born enemy combatants.
The only time in US history when US Citizens were deprived of civil rights and civil liberties was during the liberal administration of FDR. A democrat.
See executive 0rder 9066 which intered 120,000 People in concentration camps many of whom were US Citizens.
It was the single largest forced migration in US History.

Good. Everytime they speak on this issue they lose more votes.

The Democrats want to defend Al Qaeda terrorists' civil rights? I think a 9-11 commercial cut - a tasteful 30 seconds would be a fitting response to their ignorance.

Everytime they speak on this issue they lose more votes. Bingo. With this kind of rhetoric, Dems are driving swing voters away in droves.

Er, not quite. Mr. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and a number of other Constitutional civil rights during the War of Northern Aggression.

PURPOSEFUL misuse of terms. And .. all the while they are yelling and screeming that the President "misled" the American people .. and what's actually happening is the dems are "misleading" the American people.
Pretty much explains how the "projection" technique works.
This won't work. Diane Feinstein has already exposed the FACT the ACLU doesn't have any "actual" civil rights abuses to complain about. This thing is dead before it even gets started.
And .. if the dems continue to SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE TERRORISTS .. they are going to lose BIGGER than I thought in 2004.

Well, during the War, Mr. Lincoln's directives were hardly binding on the Confederacy, were they? Yep, it was U.S. citizens who had their civil rights suspended.

"They attack the economy, they attack the war in Iraq, they attack the Patriot Act. In lieu of any positive agenda of their own, they're forced to attack. And apparently, this is the week they all come out and receive their talking points on the Patriot Act," she said. You got it , Miss!
To: JohnHuang2
Mr. Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, said yesterday on NBC's "Today" that Republicans are pursuing a campaign against civil liberties "to bolster their standing in the polls, to bolster their political support around the country." God, what an idiot!!! Yea, "pursuing a campaign against civil liberties" would be an enormousely popular way to get re-elected! Do these dip$hits even listen to themselves?

The problems is we are SUPPOSED to have two major parties, what we have now is 1 1/2 major parties(at best) and this is not a good thing. The democrats will either get their act together and get some adults in charge or they will go the way of the whigs. What they haven't figured out yet is it's not 1973 and there are only 3.5 networks and one newspaper per town, with the raise of the internet, talk radio there monoply of information is smashed and people are starting to see that the emperor is buck naked.
