Hey peeps,

Use Trace Route (http://www.traceroute.org/) to see where the route of your Internet connection goes. I’ve monitored mine for months and at times and they have been going through different military installations – goodness, you’d think they (AIS) would have spoofed their IP address(es) so I didn’t know. I wrote an email to McCain and Specter about this – with no responses – HA, what did I expect? Am I paranoid or what? This is for real…wake up peeps! We’re in a war against anyone that doesn’t think like we do and that is never going to end (sounds like a religion or the Crusades), so I guess they’ll be able to violate our right to privacy forever, huh? …hmmm, also sounds like we’ve become exactly what we’re fighting against. What happened to the Powell doctrine – go in with overwhelming force with a well-defined exit plan? Oops, maybe that isn’t the way you can really fight a war.

Hey…wtf, what are they going to do? Send me to the NAM…HA, they’ve already done that…maybe the AIS (Army Intelligence Service) can monitor me since I served in the military, but I didn’t know I was fighting for that in the NAM long go â€“ hmmm, the government monitoring of my communication and all this time I thought I was fighting for human freedom from an oppressive government.

How about wiretapping, or listening to anybodyâ€™s communications that were on the terror watch lists. Like Senator Kennedy and other Democrats.

How many times a day did you say you pray to your gods Bushiva and L’il Dick?

Does your shrine to them have enough fresh fruit, or are you doing the human (inbred) sacrifice thing?

Are you planning on participating in the mushroom games this year?

“America is the EVIL EMPIRE to most liberal journalists.”

TruPatriotTroll: This administration is an evil empire to almost everybody who’s not a neocon. This includes Liberals, Democrats, Independents, some Republicans, and let’s not forget the rest of the planet. Do the math, you are a minority.

This has nothing to do with America, our people, our country, or even our our system of government. The real issue is how this current administration is conducting business within our system. There’s never been a presidency that continuously pushes the boundary of what is legal — until Bush. Feel free to cite what Clinton (or any other president you’ve studied) has done if you must.

My question is since I have an anti bush/republican website am I being bugged and how can I find out?

“Canâ€™t we just reasonably assume at this point that anyone who has made any international calls has been recorded and logged?”

I think that would be a safe and prudent assumption.

Anybody who thinks the NBC Deletes Reference to Amanpour Bugging Question From Transcript story is at all interesting or important, please contact all the blogs you know and create links back to the AMERICAblog article.

â€œThe true enemy is within! – Michael Savageâ€

Of course, we all know what a deep philosophical thinker and a reliable source of information Michael Savage is.

Anyone who quotes Michael Savage is not to be trusted with sharp objects.

Oh boy, a new troll.

Trupatriotman,

Every heard of Jeff Gannon?

Ever wonder why the MSM says Rep. John Murtha (D) called for a “withdrawal” of our troops from Iraq, when it was Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) who wrote House Resolution 571? Rep. John Murtah called for a “redeployment.” Those two words are not synonyms, they do not mean the same thing.

Ever wonder why the Jack Abramoff scandal is being portrayed as a bi-partisan scandal and not a republican scandal?

Ever wonder why you are a zombie trol talking head?

You probably don’t think about any of these things, but they are all true.

I would certainly hope so! Considering most of journalism today is slanted Anti-American. And the reporting is only of the next number of dead American Soldiers killed, which they (The Terrorists) read and then are emboldens to attack again!

Does anyone of “Think Progress” remember Eason Jordan’s admitted false reporting, Jason Blair’s admitted false reporting, and Dan Rather’s forged documents. Who are these people siding with?

Now MSNBC is â€œdisappearingâ€ transcripts. Have they hired Scotty McLellan as a consultant?

Send out the clowns.

This isn’t the first time that Hardball transcripts have been edited.

I can vouch for two other times in the last two years, when I’ve gone to get the hard copy proof of something outrageous that Matthews has said, only to find it edited out.

Christiane Amanpour (This is the correct spelling of her first name, by the way) is the kind of journalist that the Bubble Boy Administration fears. She’s fearless, smart, compassionate, not a Barbie Doll journalist, but very attractive. Rita Cosby’s phlematic style of journalism wouldn’t even hold a candle to her. I’ve admired Christiane
since she covered the Gulf War. She’s been to more dangerous places around the world than any journalist I know of.

Christiane, if you remember, was one of the few journalists along with former MSNBC’s Ashleigh Banfield to criticize the media’s treatment of covering the Iraq War. I just wish
there would be a lot more Christiane Amanpours. The world would know everything.

#42 – Dont worry folks, it will all come out in due time.

… but will it all come out in time for We The People to salvage what little’s left of our democracy, our republic?

These crooks have been plotting and planning since Bush the Smarter #41. They have a 6 year head start on us.

Impeach Bush NOW! And show the world we can take care of this mess on our own.

You can safely bet your bottom dollar that Bushlandia tapped every single democrat in office to include home, office telephones and personal computers.

Dont worry folks, it will all come out in due time.

#16,
I think they should waterboard the VP of torture, Dath Cheney, on camera.
