Rep. Peter King calls on the AG to indict New York Times! (Fox News Alert)

He was on their morning shows announcing this but no story up yet on their site. Please, let it happen!

Exactly... If the Justice Department does nothing, then they are only enabling this problem to continue. NY Slimes are collaborating with the enemy. They need to be prosecuted. I would be in favor of an extremely heavy. One so heavy that it would put the Times out of business.

[RetSignman]

I find both those channels too exiciting, I watch the "Progress of the Immigration Bill Channel"

[OnRightOnLeftCoast]

Turncoat Arlan Specter was just on FOX a moment ago speaking about this.

To paraphrase him:

It would be premature to make a rush to judgment over wrongdoing by the NYT, just as it would be premature in a rush to judgment of wrongdoing by the Bush administration.

[OldFriend]

Actually, I watch the fishing shows.

[LADY J]

Fox cable is asking for emails from listeners to determine who is at fault here. The leakers or the NYT.

They will air the results at the end of the 2 hours that is now being broadcast.

Proceed with caution. However, it does seem like Peter King is becoming more of a conservative. I applaud his strong stand against the NYT. In doing so, he jeopardizes any good political publicity for his reelection. That does take guts. I guess something good can come out of NYC. Way to go King.

If the New York Time's assistance in giving comfort to our foes, with full knowledge of their actions, and the consequences to our defense, isn't consorting with the enemy, what is?

And the question: Should a prosecutor seek the death penalty against the editors of the New York Times?

Now we are told that [the two American soldiers] had their genitals cut off and stuffed into their mouth. They were beheaded. They were tortured unmercifully while still alive by the disciples of Allah, and I hear no words of outrage from the "left" today. Not a single word from Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Howard Dean or Cindy Sheehan. If they speak at all, it is only to blame our president. Shame on the liberals. Shame on the Democrats. Shame on the MSM (mainstream media).

Shame on the New York Times.

Indict the Slimes!

I don't understand what "this info" is, since it's not specified in the thread.

>>Who knew this guy had guts? And that he is on Bush's side?
Way to go, Pete.<<

I have to say I am surprised to find myself in such a minority on this - isn't anybody else concerned about the program itself? Doesn't anybody else think that by violating privacy and then classifying it the government is setting up an Alien and Sedition Law - like scenario where the only way you can criticize what the government is doing wrong is to risk going to jail?

The banking privacy laws require cause and notification to the accused before records can be accessed but it appears we accessed millions of records without doing these things. Once the government doing starts this sort of thing it doesn't go away -you can bet that future Presidents will cite this as precedent unless it is checked now. This expansion of government power does not feel at all conservative to me.

[Ptarmigan]

Good for him.

"The banking privacy laws require cause and notification to the accused before records can be accessed"

Hate to be the one to destroy your illusions but are you aware that you cannot withdraw $10,000 or more from your banking account without the Government being notified?

I share a desire for privacy but treason trumps that right. What is going on here is treasonous. Surely there is some way these people can be punished without the loss of our rights. If we seek to preserve our rights by protecting traitors we will soon have no rights left to protect.

[pepperdog]

Forgot to add that I really like your tag line.

[OKIEDOC]

I have little use for the New York Times.

I would suggest that everyone contact the Times advertisers and demand they pull their advertising or else we will not purchase their products.

The Times is the epitome of why the MSM is irrelevant to America.

If we were talking about people suspected of treason I'd agree with you but this program appears to be a broad net not targeting people suspected of treason. Hopefully you are right and I'm wrong.

BTW, on the withdrawing $10,000 thing the bank reports that transaction but if the government wants all your records they have to use that as a basis of an administrative subpoena and notify the customer.

......Without the imposition of Alien and Sedition Acts, it ain't gonna happen......

We learned this year that there is a course of action. A grand jury subpoenas the reporter's notes to learn the name of the leaker. The reporter refuses and goes to jail for contempt.

The question is when will the grand jury be empaneled to act?

The question is why was this not done over the NSA matter?

The question is does the Bush Admin have the guts to call the bluff of old gray whore?

But wait – don’t we live under a “living”, “evolving” Constitution? No doubt the editors of the NYT have endorsed that proposition countless times in the past.

After all:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”. Yet encroachments upon the free exercise of religion are too numerous to mention, all eagerly endorsed by the NYT.

“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech…”. Yet campaign finance reform does exactly that, and was eagerly endorsed by the NYT.

“…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Yet the NYT is in the forefront of advocating every sort of infringement possible.

“…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Yet the NYT, without doubt, enthusiastically endorsed the Kelo decision.

So why should freedom of the press be the only portion of the Bill of Rights that the NYT demands remain sacrosanct? We all know the answer to that, of course.
