#1 I'd write it off as senile dementia, but he was loopy in the 70's too...

#3 And, while we're on political bashing, who wire tapped MLK? Um, it wasn't a Republican in office at the time, that's for sure, but we can't speak ill of the dead. Of course, now a days, JFK resembles a R more than a D!

#4 Jimmah's always been a little short in the common sense department, and a funeral was a dumb place to trot out this agenda, but he wasn't as far off as all that.

MLK was wiretapped (yes, by J Edgar Hoover and a couple of Dems) because some of his staff/supporters knew people who knew people with Red connections. Which is exactly the kind of third hand connection the current program seems to be looking for and what kept them from doing it through the FISA process.

Claiming Carter was comparing MLK to OBL is pure sophistry, of course, but if it gets you off, enjoy.

#5 *Snort*, indeed.

You apparently can't tell the difference between wiretapping people living in this country and wiretapping foreign terrorists who are calling people in this country.

But you're right - we shouldn't spy on them. At least as long as the only harm they're planning is to you.

When they're planning on harming me and my friends, on the other hand....

Did you pick your own name yourself, or did Fred's name generator just get lucky?

#6 Carter is someone who by his actions in office knows nothing at all about national security. He continues to display his ineptitude each time he opens his mouth on the subject. Worst president in my lifetime by far.

#7 The only Pres comparably as bad as Carter was Buchannan.

#10 Carter, remember, is they guy who responded to an act of war by pissing his pants.

Metaphorically speaking. At least, as far as I know.

#11 MLK was wiretapped (yes, by J Edgar Hoover and a couple of Dems) because some of his staff/supporters knew people who knew people with Red connections

J. Edger Hoover wiretapped him on orders of Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, who was working for President John F. Kennedy. They were looking for information MLK was having an affair so they could smear him with it.

Ironic, the Kennedy's looking to smear someone for screwing around. And Jimmy Carter bringing that up with Teddy Kennedy sitting right behind him. Heh.

#13 I noticed Ted was all puffy, red and out of breath, but when I later saw the beginning of the services , he was that way getting out of his Limo
