(16,184 posts)What a giant fucking leap of logic and cheap attempt to poison well, claiming people want to absolve Nixon of his abuse of power for Watergate and Cambodia simply because they're also outraged at the NSA.
The Watergate break-in was wrong. The secret bombing of Cambodia was atrocious. And you know what? Secretly collecting data on millions of people without any sort of consent or oversight is wrong, too. It being condoned by the law and acts of Congress doesn't make it alright, it makes it a fucking nightmare that such an invasion of privacy could be accepted and treated as right.
Maybe you should try considering that you're not only wrong, but that you're enabling and defending the growing surveillance state and invasion of privacy, and stop trying to paint all of your opponents as secret Nixon lovers/racists/Obama haters/Republican apologists. It's fucking sickening.
