re: #271 austin_blue

I don’t disagree at all, but at least it was an honest response. What I find odd is that such an act, if performed by Jack Bauer on “24”, would have the RWNJ’s jumping up and down in their living rooms. But by him not saying “It’ll never during the Obama Presidency”, the same RWNJ’s insist that the big O will target them.

What an odd country we live in, these days…

Careful though, because that double standard works both ways. Plenty of moderates and liberals who were disgusted with 24 and the Bush administration abuses are here, now, turning a blind eye to the fucked up precedent Obama is setting simply because he’s Obama.

I voted for the man four times, two primaries and two general elections and am glad it’s him in the oval office and not either of his Republican opponents. However I still think what’s being done here is objectively wrong, indefensible, and can’t be contextualized by simply characterizing the opposition to it as Rand Paul, Glenn Greenwald and some wingnut / moonbat convergence.

In the end you’re either on the side that’s justifying extrajudicial assassination of US citizens, or you aren’t.
