NBC's Chuck Todd: Obama Wants To 'Criminalize Journalism'

[Oddball]

So stop him...repeal the Patriot Act.

Your party and Dear Leader have kept USAPATRIOT Act in place...And have exploited it to their own political ends.

Too late....Fucking rube.

Republicans control the House. Has there been a single GOP bill to do those things?

Why waste time attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act? If you're gonna grandstand, do it on something with substance that appeals to a broad swath of Americans from both parties.

Democratics controlled 3/3 when USAPATRIOT came up for re-authorization...It went through like shit through a goose and not a single leftbat toady hack like you uttered a peep.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

No, they didn't.

Republicans aren't the issue...Your party had a chance to repeal the monstrosity and overwhelmingly supported keeping it in place.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Oh, with the "super majority" the Democrats never had? Riiiiggght.

 

[boedicca]

Jeebus. What a hack.

 

[boedicca]

Obama's desire to "Criminalize Journalism", is just a sub-bullet to the overarching objective of "Criminalizing Dissent". Nobody should be able to challenge the Obama Narrative.

 

[Seawytch]

13 Democrats and one Independent voted against it. If all the Republicans had joined them, would it have been reauthorized? Come on, stop him, GOP. You can stop the President's "agenda". Do it!

 

[Seawytch]

Bet the Dems would support a Shield Law for the Press. There's a bill the House could work on. Get to work GOP, lets see a shield law.

 

[boedicca]

If Obama's DOJ didn't abuse its power, Obama wouldn't need to promote a Shield Law.

His is the first administration in the history of the U.S. to pull such an appalling dirty trick.

 

[Clementine]

Come on Republicans, STOP HIM. Pass a Shield Law and repeal the Patriot Act...I double dog dare you.

So, it's our fault or someone else's fault that the Obama administration is taking things too far? You can't criticize the administration for doing this shit, you just find an excuse. Shoud have expected the blame game would be played, as always. Gee, just because the patriot act exists, then Obama can't help himself when it comes to doing dirty, underhanded things. Really? For once, can someone on the left hold Obama responsible for something, anything????

You nailed it!!!

Obama doesn't have to spy on the media, he CHOOSES to. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with the Patriot Act and I bet they would have done that if no Patriot Act existed. That is just how they roll.

 

[Seawytch]

Whine, snivel, bitch, moan.

Did YOUR representative introduce a Shield Law? Did your Senator vote for the reauth of the PA? Did you call them?

As a libertarian, I have no representatives in congress.

As a liberoidal, you have scores of them.....They did nothing.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Eat shit.

Your party bailed and went with the status quo.

You suck every bit as bad as the neocons.

Did your President's AG sign an search warrant labeling a journalist a co-conspirator for doing the normal job journalists do?

Sure, dupes, but REAL conservatives agree with the Pres that you go after leaks of classified info that out our spies and hurt the USA. Ignorant sheep. Todd's a shill for ratings...

yes, you go after the actual government employee that leaked it, the one that committed the crime.

Keep in mind that the press (left right and center) in this story, is an interested party, to use the legal term,

and therefore should not be considered an objective source for how this story is covered.
