FNS: Kristol Can’t Understand Why Democrats Don’t Trust Bush On FISA

President Bush and the Republicans have been doing their best to scare the pants off the American people by lying through their teeth about the current FISA legislation and the fact-challenged pundits on Fox News Sunday did their best to perpetuate those lies this morning.

The perception they’re trying to give is that if the FISA legislation isn’t passed, our intelligence community will have to shut down operations and will no longer be able to conduct surveillance on suspected terrorists — which is absurd. William Kristol is dumbfounded as to why the Democrats don’t believe the president and his appointees (who cares that they have been lying to us for years?), when they say we’ll all die if this legislation isn’t passed. Luckily, Juan Williams steps in with the reality the GOP isn’t telling the public - the U.S. government can STILL do surveillance on suspected terrorists without telecom immunity.

3. This issue always makes me laugh

The gov't has been illegally spying on us for decades, and perhaps even since inception.

If they really wanted to hunt down "terrorists," they have all the legal tools they need to do so, and had them pre-9/11.

What they really want is for us to accept their "right" to do this to us in the open. They want it to be legal so they can funnel even more money into programs to spy on us 24/7.

Welcome to 1984, everyone

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

6. Kristol Can't Understand Why Charlie Brown

7. Krtstol is vile and evil. He truly as no conscience. He will say anything.

I have seen him get served so bad defending the indefensible, yet he has no shame and keeps on going. His type is dangerous.

Surveillance Act.
