Freepers worried about government spying, only it's during the Clinton adm

[Fuzz]

The first one is the absolute best:

Once GW Bush is President, we won't have to worry about this Big Brother, police-state crap any longer. He will restore freedom and privacy to this once great land.

The big question is will Americans care they are being spyed on or will they ignore this too?

That really IS the question. You're very astute. My guess is that some will be shocked but most are so desensitized and used to giving up freedom for "security" they'll accept it hook, line, and sinker...

This is horrifying!

If there is a Republican president in 2001 then I don't for a minute doubt that you will hear Clinton's phone calls.

I would bet that most high-powered people are using encrypted equipment for their communications. According to the 60 Minutes segment, the NSA fears that encryption will take over among terrorists, etc., as international industry has started to do. Since, according to this report, overseas corporations are tired of the NSA stealing their secrets and giving them to U.S. competitors.

Sounds like another scandal to me. It's taken the lamestream media long enough to clue in on it...

We don't need no steenking Constitution!

That is what they keep trying to tell us. We need to be rid of it for security and protection from the Government.

Like to see this pupppy killed. Encryption keys all around. The justice department and the leadership of the FBI have become increasingly hostile to individual rights to privacy under the current administration.

Of course, 9/11 Changed Everything...

2. Nice find.

3. "Where have all the black helicopters gone?"

Something I wrote about three years ago about this:

http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/2002/06/18_Helicopters.html

As alarmist as conservatives were during eight years of Bill Clinton's presidency, when nothing more dangerous than oral sex in the Oval Office posed a threat to American democracy, it puzzles me that they are so silent now that our civil liberties are actually being stripped away daily by the Bush administration.

With the exception of a few conservatives like Alan Keyes, few on the right today seem as hot and bothered by the apparent dictatorial nature of their unelected president as they were by those paranoid fantasies they had about Clinton throughout the 1990s.

I know it's like trying to recall a psychotic episode, but I'm sure you can recall the delusional conspiracy theories that fueled the vast right-wing propaganda machine during the last decade. Remember when Clinton was about to declare martial law in America after instigating a false national emergency? Remember when his legions of blue-helmeted minions from the UN were flying the skies in their sinister black helicopters?

MORE...

4. Haha, that's pretty funny...

...these dumb fucking sons a bitches are COMPLETE moral relativists. if a Republican president does it, it's not illegal, it's courageous and bold. If a Democratic president does it, it's treason and a shredding of the Constitution. Leaves me with a clear conscience. I opposed Clintons signing of the 1996 Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and some of his more blatant bullshit, just as I have done with Bush. I'm consistent, not some namby-pamby moral relativist for whom party comes before country.

5. Moral relativism, indeed

Notice how they can never defend Bush without bringing up a Clinton strawman?

[TheFarseer]

6. I was going to post something along these lines

not illustrated with nice freeper quotes but I know as well as you do that Clinton would probably be impeached over this or at least there would be a huge uproar. Of course these maggots can always fall back on "9/11 changed everything" to cover their hypocrisy.

[Ezlivin]

7. That is SO pre-9/11

9/11 changed everything.

Any sort of privacy is just aiding the enemy, you know?

[Redneck Socialist]

8. Shit, I just spewed coffee all over my monitor

:spray: :rofl:

I've pretty much known that was the case as one of my stock responses when when arguing with a republican is "Well, how would you feel if Clinton had done that?" They usually stutter and puff up and reply with something like, ..."but, but that's different." Fucking morans.

Nice to see my suspicions confirmed. Thanks for the laugh.

[Loonman]

9. If I get a line like this, I just say

"So you're saying Clinton was right, then?"

That always stumps 'em.

[Corgigal]

10. They are idiots

They have a unsafe sense of security because they believe it wouldn't happen to them because they voted for the "right" guy. They won't get it through their thick heads that they and most of the American people are pawns to these assholes. They couldn't even wash their car and privately these rich jerks talk and laugh at them.

They are screwing themselves and in the back of their simple minds they actually know that. They are so stuck to their identity that they are now unable to learn anything from the real world.

12. Good find

It doesn't surprise me any. Those people show off their ignorance every chance they get. They actually believe they are the intellectual party. :eyes:
