It’s going to look awfully suspicious when Hillary wins in 2016 and 2020, and you go a full 16 years carrying water for neoliberal warmongers.

My criticisms haven’t changed much, since 2008. Nor has the President.

What kind of horseshit is “deal with the real world as they find it?”

Everyone does that. Not everyone enables mass murder.

I’ll say this though, when you want your Dem ball-washing coated with a single layer of superficial political analysis, TBogg is your one-stop shop.

Jesus, this is just sad.

Poor, powerless, kindhearted Obama has been trying his hardest to move the defining injustices of Gitmo to Illinois, and those mean old Republicans just won’t let him.

And yeah, fuck Medea Benjamin. Real humanitarians, like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, voted (in good conscience) for easily one of the worst crimes of our lifetime. Why is Medea such a shrill bitch? I hope she’s on Obama’s secret murder list.

Relevant:

I know that many Democrats want to cling to the belief that, in Perlstein’s words, “the powers that be will find it very easy to seize on this one error to discredit [my] NSA revelation, even the ones he nailed dead to rights”. Perlstein cleverly writes that “such distraction campaigns are how power does its dirtiest work” as he promotes exactly that campaign.

But much more relevant to this partisan-infested shithole:

He has 200,000 followers on Twitter, influence in the establishment

That explains why you challenged the real Tom Friedman and not the resident imposter.

Is that the first time you’ve apologized for voting for Obama?

They had to crowd source stenographers because the NYT couldn’t make it.

That last paragraph is especially rich coming from one of TBogg’s Stepford wives.

Oh I understand how you partisans aren’t counting anything but “wiretapping” as surveillance these days, so you can give Saint Obama a pass. Believe me, I get it.

That’s a great point.

Did you read some other NSA story this week?

Maybe after Jan. 20, 2009 you stopped reading the same stuff we do. That could explain it.

They definitely matter for us proles.

You think the president is going to go down for doing something both parties support, lawless or not? Plus, if lawlessness mattered to those assholes, Bush would be painting in a cell.

Yes, I’ve seen the feel-good White House talking points. No need to regurgitate them here.

The point I made was that, according to TBogg, secrecy and sweeping warrantless surveillance under Bush = power hungry maniac, secrecy and sweeping warrantless surveillance under Obama = nothing to see here, so calm down all you shrieking civil libertarians.

I’m willing to bet that even a few of the more honest in his pack of rabid authoritarian dipshit followers agree with me.

Similar enough to peg you for the partisan-driven hypocrite you are.

You’ll understand when a Republican is President. Hell, TBogg might even explain it to you then.

TBogg and Lindsey Graham certainly seem to have more in common every day.

Remember when that guy wasn’t so dispassionate about warrantless surveillance and NSA secrecy?

To put it the way that guy might:

There is nothing that John Hinderaker TBogg won’t defend. (when a Dem does it)

The Bush-Obama domestic spying program may be the most bipartisan program in Washington.

Indeed. It’s one of the things (USA PATRIOT ACT) I point to when anyone tries to sing the praises of bipartisanship as if bipartisanship is some kind of worthwhile endeavor in its own right. Others include Wars of Aggression, Drone Murder, balanced Federal budgets, etc…

Speaking of Drone Murder… can’t wait til we have a rubberstamping Star Chamber for that like we have for all this warrantless surveillance.
