Explosive Story: GOP has asked British SS to bug phones of American political candidates!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

FOX NEWS 11:25am EST 2-15-2004

Fox news is interviewing John Loftus, Formers Justice Department Prosectutor who states that he has an inside scoop that "the Republican Party has asked the British Secret Service to bug phones of American political Candidates. "

FOX NEWS Eric Shawn: "It's a very serious and very shocking story."

JOHN LOFTUS: "That allegation seems very storng of that is the case. Why would any political party want to bug someone else?

It's a juicy way of running a smear campaign behind the works. We have been doing that for about 50 years and it started with president Roosevelt. He had signed a secret treaty with Britian in 1943 that let them each set up listening posts on each other's soil with no search warrants. It's a great little scheme. "

"So the British can use American computers to bug American politicians, and the Americans can use British computers to bug British politicians and each side can truthfully say that they aren't spying on their own citizens. They are just trading information under the table."

ERIC: How widespread is this. Members of the Security Council admitted to me that they are being bugged and that it wasn't surprising, they expected that.

JOHN: "What congress doesn't realise is that this is meant to favor one party only. In 1978 Carter tried to ban taping without a court order. So the bill is that the NSA cannot target american citizens, but not other countries from doing it. "

Sure the British have a Secret Service.

Don't you watch James Bond?

If the dems do it too both parties should be voted out.

I don't disagree. Just pointing out how the liberal press will drop the story if it soils Dems too.

This guy is a hack. He's the one who promotes the much-loved BFEE(Bush Family Evil Empire) conspiracy at DU.

[mrsmith]

LOL! Yeah they sent George H. Bush over on a secret CIA plane to arrange the recordings.

"Even though there is no credible evidence, these charges are so serious they must be investigated! ...Too!" _{TM DNCFAX}

I love when someone writes "all's fair in love and war" -- so in other words we go after everyone using sleazy tactics that clearly are sleazy or there would be no trouble admitting it, right? Then if the other side does something we wrap ourselves in history and principle and say it's shocking. I guess I mistakenly thought us conservatives stood for PRINCIPLEs...but I'm wrong seeing the size of our budget, people sitting back on the new immigration amnesty, and going along with the prescription drug plan. Principle is out the window if we condone this. And if the it is confirmed and the Democrats use it, it's good for the country that it comes out and is stopped. I think the new rule is: whatever the president says is right because he's our man. Whatever the president does is right, because he's our man. If it violates the written and unwritten rules in our democracy, it's all right, because he's our man. If it goes totally against conservative philosphy, it's all right because he's our man. I wish there was a third party in this country that believed in principle since I increasingly think I'll stay home and microwave left over pizza on election day.

sheesh, this guy is a regular tinfoiler

And I suppose the missing FBI files with the Hildebeast's prints on them wasn't Watergate material ??

First of all Loftus is a democrat.

Loftus is suing Saudi Arabia on behalf of some WTC victims. Therefore, every trail he finds always leads to Saudi Arabia.

He is often incorrect in his pronouncements.

[WHBates]

I guess they are using the term generically?

[u-89]

We (the US and the Brits) were supposedly tapping the UN during the run up to the war with Iraq too.

[DainBramage]

I thought most of the British Secret Service has assylum in Russia.

[Peach]

Why do we/you have two threads going currently about this matter?

Would you please ask the Lead Admin. to fix this?

[American_Centurion]

Fox is trolling the gutters to appear "fair and balanced" or their news director has lost his mind.

[sofaman]

I'm confused....

This is a rumor, an allegation..and Fox runs with it.

The Kerry rumor is just a rumor so they don't run with it...

et tu Fox?

[Peach]

Apologies - two threads - two different Freepers.

[elimination]

John Loftus serves on a pro-muslim board and from reading his website, he is not very pro-Bush.

[mewzilla]

If this is true, it had better be because the people involved are suspected of treason. If it isn't true, then FNC better bloody well find out who started this smear and why. And doesn't this qualify as a rumor, anyway? Didn't FNC just get through making perfectly clear on its Sunday show that FNC is not in the business of investigating rumor?

[steve50]

And I suppose the missing FBI files with the Hildebeast's prints on them wasn't Watergate material ??

Why would you suppose that. Unauthorized access to information would certainly be a crime in my book. I'm really getting tired of the "they all do it" routine tho. Is the only purpose of politics to place the party each side thinks is slightly less corrupt than the other in office?

[sinkspur]

Sounds like conspiracy bullshit, to me.
