Pol Pot commented on The White House Strikes Back.

Yes, impeach the fucker. He is every bit as impeachable as Bush was.
Assassinating American citizens.
Illegal wiretapping.
I've never called someone an obamabot before, because, well, I've always thought it was ridiculous. But in your case... The shoe truly fits you.

@30- what unfettered bullshit. I'm as crazy as Jeremy Scahill and Chris Hedges, upon who's analysis I base my opinion.
Upon who's analysis do you base your fawning fellatio of the president?

@23- national security has nothing to do with this case, other than that it was used as a canard to rifle through months of phone records of assorted AP correspondents.
There have been no prosecutions, nor will there be. There was no spying involved. Each and every premise you propose is a canard.
This case has only one motivation, and that is to intimidate and terrorize people to keep them silent.
Already, investigative journalists have noted a marked decrease in access tominformation as a result of this witch hunt.
So turn the question around to yourself - are you saying Daniel Ellsberg should have been imprisoned for life?
This is blatant intimidation on the part of the Obama administration. It is no longer possible to say that there is an ounce of difference between him and his predecessor.
It is, however, becoming possible to say he is actually worse.

This administration in the last four years has prosecuted twice as many leakers as every previous administration combined. What they’re doing is matching all of the phone records to find out who had contact with someone in an AP bureau, whether that was in New York or Hartford or Washington or wherever else, and then they will probably use the Espionage Act to go after them. What we are seeing is a system put into place where it’s all propaganda. Any reference to a shield law is absurd, because they just violated the shield law by not going to court and informing AP of a subpoena but doing it secretly. you’ve got to hand it to the Obama administration. They’re far more clever than their predecessors in the Bush administration, but they’re carrying out exactly the same policy of snuffing out our most basic civil liberties and our most important press freedoms. And that’s because they know what’s coming, and they are going out of their way to create a system in which any challenge to the centers of corporate power become ineffectual or impossible. Obama not only should be impeached over this, he must be impeached.

Pol Pot commented on The Tree of Liberty Must Be Refreshed From Time to Time With the Blood of Tyrants.

As the 2nd amendment is little more than a vestige of slavery, just do away with it. It serves no purpose whatsoever. It neither makes anyone safer nor does it in anyway secure or increase "freedom".
Hopefully all the rightwing nincompoops who mutter about the "Tree of Liberty" will put their guns where their mouths are.
They wouldn't last an hour in a firefight with the Police State.
