Bush can’t have it both ways.
Impeachment, not immunity, or blank war checks without aggressive congressional checks and balances, is more warranted than ever now. As first reported on Daily Kos, and summarized by Bob Fertik on Democrats.com, the Bush administration has been pursuing dragnet data mining operations well in advance of September 11, 2001. Of course, once again, Bush has been mendacious and totally erroneous about when the illegal warrantless wiretapping began and for what purpose.Quoting Mr. Fertik,
“This week Joseph Nacchio, the former CEO of Qwest, revealed the Bush Administration started muscling telephone companies to wiretap American citizens without a warrant on Feb. 27, 2001. When Qwest refused, they were cut out of government contracts and Nacchio was prosecuted for insider trading.
So we now know Bush began violating FISA and the 4th Amendment just 1 month after stealing the White House. And since the 9/11 attack was 7 months later, Bush has lied about 9/11 being the justification for warrantless wiretapping for the past two years.” MORE
In this writer’s opinion, CNN is deliberately refusing to report extremely important news stories and information, factual accounts on a multitude of subjects that if told to the general public, would cause almost immediate outrage by American citizens and the calls to impeach Bush and Cheney would dominate every MSM outlet worldwide - but CNN and the rest of the cowards in the MSM still refuse to be honest with the people - and I believe they have a duty to their viewers to return to honest journalism, not spouting propaganda, promoting lies that emanate from the White House they know are false, and generally being complicit with the Bush administration as they destroy our rights and trample on the Constitution.
CNN, I’m sure the Bush administration believes you’ve “done a heck of a job” and hell, maybe he will nominate your organization for the Medal of Freedom, a coveted award that since Bush has been in office is usually awarded to those who aid Bush in destroying our country!
Oh, and let’s not forget Glenn Bigot, Anti-American Beck, the Neo-concervative hypocrite and enemy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights that you’ve graciously given an hour to further trash our rights, make outrageous remarks and label us that do work to defend the constitution and the rule of law as “terrorists”; believe me, I’m sure that this site is certainly one of those that Beck and Horowitz claim are “dangerous to America” and label me and others who fight for the return to the rule of law as “totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country!”
To that I say BS, and if you were really fair, you would allow me or another articulate Liberal/Progressive equal time to refute Mr. (sic) Beck and Horowitz’s outrageous statement, or even better - let me debate both of them On Beck’s own show! I’m surely the “weakest link” of all the Liberal and Progressive Bloggers - so Beck, if you’re up to it, see if you can convince viewers all over America via a televised debate with me, and keep it on the issues, not personal attacks and remarks that don’t even relate to the actual issues, one of your favorite tactics to lead people away from the real news whenever facts actually stray on your (sic) show. I know it won’t happen, because Beck’s basically a coward, can’t deal with facts rather than misinformation and propaganda, and now we find out that CNN can’t be trusted either.
Give us equal time to refute and debate the actual facts, or make Bigot Beck offer America and those who support our constitution and rule of law an apology - do that, or face the loss of millions of your viewership, because based on what I’ve read throughout the Internet, CNN has completely lost its credibility - and now you have lowered yourselves to be compared with Fox News, and everyone knows it can’t get much worse than that!

UPDATE:
CNN Caught Reporting Candidate Answers Before Questions Had Been AskedThis screen capture was taken less 5 minutes after the candidates had stopped answering the “abortion” question.
For those who didn’t see the debate, an audience member asked a question of the candidates amounting to “What will you look for in a Supreme Court appointee?” Before the first candidate was able to answer, a CNN moderator interrupted to ask the candidate to include his stance on abortion in his answer.
Video of the question is here on CNN’s site for now. (You can hear Biden laughing in background at the absurdity of asking for an audience question and then changing it when it wasn’t what CNN wanted)
