Here is all the SMACKDOWN you need for RW'ers on the Bush spygate thing...

[Harper_is_Bush]

Of course, you're being faced with the "Clinton and Carter did it too" BS. How to respond??

Point them to the Hardball explanation of the difference:

But don't leave it there, because they'll just ignore it.

Explain it to them LIKE THEY'RE RETARDS!!!

Quote the portion of the Clinton and Carter executive orders
(found http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-12949.htm">HERE and http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo12139.htm">HERE respectively)
which constitutes the difference:

"if the Attorney General makes the certifications required by that Section."

and also quote the explanation of the "certifications required by that section":

"there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party;"


On top of this undeniable proof, mention the fact that Congress is making a big fuss over this in a bipartisan manner AND a federal judge has resigned over it. Do they really believe such things are going on simply because it's Bush??? :)


Don't worry about them not bending over and aquiescing, they won't. Don't worry about it, as they scurry away quietly they'll know they've been owned.

Impeachment is on it's way, no question.
