We just finished an election here where the guy who is Governor-elect of California's staff was caught calling his opponent a 'whore'. Had that been a conservative the lefty's here would've made it a major news story for weeks. Instead it was brushed off as no big thing.

Hello tom:

Your outrage rings hollow... The left may hate women, but the right hates black people... Not too long ago, the wingers leading talker, Rush Limbaugh sang a tune called "Barrak the Magic Negro". When confronted about this racism, it was brushed off as no big thing...

PS> By the way, I don't care if Assange is a rapist or Manning is gay. What I CARE about is the leak.

Hello again, tom:

Here's where you go wrong. It's my understanding that Limbaugh parodied the poem first written by Ehrnstien... To you, that excuses the limp one because he's SECOND, and the FIRST racist was BLACK, for crying out loud. Therefore, the limp dudes second hand racism doesn't count.

But, it does.

Hi Tom,

I think the article is suppose to be a parody of your society.

I think the article is condescending nonsense. The only ones looking for the "magic negro" are liberals. They're constantly looking for ways to assuage their guilt on behalf of the nation, reparations for slavery, war crimes trials for Bush and Cheney, apologizing to the world for America, etc.

I don't need any "magic negro," I've never had an issue with racism.

My god, liberals seem to be such bad people as you describe them!

Well there is this just above my last post.

The poor baby Assange has been crying about information about him being leaked out...

Boo Hoo Hoo... look at the pot calling the kettle black.

Hello again,

You know, it wasn't very long ago when we were allowed to go about our business in private, and the government was the one who had to act transparently...

Now, with your full support, that dynamic has reversed itself... The government gets to operate in secret, while the NSA reads our email and intercepts our phone calls... Oh yeah, they're also taking lap tops and cell phones away from people at the border and downloading ALL the data, plus they've enlisted your local cops to aid in the terrorism threat...

Who, amongst you, thinks it will stop there?? ALL of you, I guess.. I don't think it's Going to stop till they can look up our collective a$$ - with your full approval, of course.

Dudes! You're losing the country...

Hey.. want to talk about a full circle... wasn't the democrats of the 60's all about putting down "Big Brother". Now they ARE big brother. You came of age during that era... John F Kennedy would be spinning in his grave with what the Democrat party has become today.

As far as Assange... hey... what goes around comes around. He shouldn't dish it out if he isn't man enough to take it.

Hello again, smoothy:

To be accurate, it was George W. Bush who began the illegal spying... But, Obama DIDN'T stop it. I guess losing our Fourth Amendment rights isn't a partisan issue...

Really, you actually believe that? THAT apparatuse was in place LONG before even George Bush Sr. ever took office... much less W.

Funny how it was fine for Bill Clinton to do it... not to mention FILEGATE... when Hillary didn't even have the legal standing to do it... but the Democrats protected her when she committed Contempt of court.

Hello again, smoothy:

Of course I believe it. It's TRUE, after all.

On April 7, 2006 AT&T provided National Security Agency eavesdroppers with full access to its customers' phone calls, and shunted its customers' internet traffic to data-mining equipment installed in a secret room in its San Francisco switching center, according to a former AT&T worker.

Really... you have to stop reading the left wing tabloids that pretend to be serious journalism. Because that's been going on for decades BEFORE that. Just because the New York Times or Katie Curic doesn't report it doesn't mean its not happening.

USA PATRIOT Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Really... contrary to what the left wing brain is capable of comprehending... NOTHING new happened under that which wasn't already happening for decades...

Do you really believe the NSA, CIA and a number of other agencies suddenly winked into existence the date that act was signed... incidently... by a majority of DEMOCRATS.

Boy the left is really out of touch with reality. Because I have dealt with that stuff since the early 80's. And it wasn't new then by any rational definition.

I know the national phone and data infrastracture really, really well... its been my livelyhood for 30 years now. I know the equipment... I know the systems... I know its capabilities. And yeah... there are a LOT of different equiment... but they all operate to certain standards that allow them to interface with each other. If you worked in this industry long enough you would understand what I am saying there.

If you are THAT paranoid... then you would know well enough you don't say anything electronically you wouldn't want someone to hear and more than you would in any crowd. Once its out on the internet... you can't take it back. Photos or words. Its cached someplace, by someone.

And know what... I'm not afraid because I haven't said or done anything to be paranoid about.
