TPMtv: Sunday Show Roundup: Can't Gloss Over It

[zidmt]

"The CIA is in the secrecy business", yeah we know that Sen. Alexander, but they are not supposes to do whatever they want to anyone they want. That's not our government works. They HAVE to answer to the oversight committee and if cheney told the CIA to withhold information to the oversight committee, that's against the law.

[Chewy240284]

ah, an investigation to find the facts, but only after the facts are known....thank god he isn't the president

[PersonalJesus348]

god our representatives are stupid. "We have a system of checks and balances..."

Might as well state George Washington was our first president.

Stop fucking around and send Cheyney to jail.

[1234uz]

And a Nuther Thing Republicans YOU LOST learn to live with it will ya, gettin sick of hearin Ya'll bitch and whine like little baby girls

[1234uz]

Oh I am in favor of Killing every last one of the SOBs that attackes us on Sept11th for sure and their supporters. BUT I AM equally in Favor of Frying Mr Cheney in a Hot Pan using Very Oil then feeding him to his republican supporters that think He is a patriot. Mr 5 Deferment Dick Cheney is not Patriot he was aDraft Dodger of the worse degree he cheerlead the war in Viatnam and wouldnt serve when called upoon. F**K Him

[CommonSenseJoe]

Please not that NWO crap again. If these things were "Top Secret" then you would not know about them. When Bin Ladin was fighting the Soviets, we did support him. So What! When Saddam was fighting Iran, we support him. So What!

Once they became enemies of the United States, things changed.

Releasing a classified JAG investigation to the media before the Secretary of Defense has a chance to see it is a crime. Doing it for political advantage makes it worse.

[go4011s]

"I would like to know the facts before there is an investigation." Really now? How do you suppose we might discover some facts?

I'm sure he means to say is that he would like facts before he makes a comment... but still...

[smmm1968]

I would not be surprised if the details of many of these programs were kept secret from Bush ("the president"). It appears that Dick was running the show most of the time. The amazing thing is that the GOPers still claim monopoly on patriotism even as the details of their assault on the constitution become clearer.

[L8nitedave]

I wouldn't be surprised either, but this is very sensitive stuff. The important thing is that this not become the farceical right, left, Lewensky/Clinton type thing. That was idiot politics. This is national security.

[BigPurple121]

Come on Holder. The Bush expansion of executive powers is a huge the danger to this world

[CommonSenseJoe]

I think we should be finding out who leaked classified information to the press during the Bush administration. Top secret stuff was finding it's way into the media and weakening our efforts to fight terrorism.

[sachaput]

They don't know the facts, nor do Republicans want to know! If we find out who lied to the American people, the terrorists will have won!

We don't need to know the truth! Leave poor Dick & George alone.

[KLNDR]

Is it pure coincidence that everyone with an "R" next to their name in this video says something completely retarded?

[1234uz]

FRY HIM Crispy Done Please

[SabuPtolemy]

John McSenile, Jeff Sessions, and Jugg Dredge are 3 unapologetic Republican morons.

Dick(tator) Cheney is one ruthless MF - probably THE most vile politician in the history of this country.

[keithwhitmer]

Gosh the reaction seeeems to be split down party lines.... how unusual.

[fishhead06]

Imagine if McCain had wound up as President [shivers]

[mrbadguysan]

John McCain wants to know the facts of the case before there's an investigation...

ISN'T THAT WHAT AN INVESTIGATION IS FOR!? TO GET THE FACTS OF A CASE!?!?

[mylifeisabiglie]

Exactly what I just thought.

[keithwhitmer]

Bingo. How do you get facts? Investigate.

[KidVolcano]

If we had the facts, we wouldn't need to investigate, would we?

[tustruman]

My thoughts exactly.

[micahgee]

Jeff Sessions is a stupid piece of shit

[junkforkaryn]

the CIA is in the business of secrecy just as the military is in the business of killing. should both have a green light to go gun down whatever and whomever they want without accountability? the CIA must inform 8 people in the senate by law. 8 people does not sound like blowing a horn on secrecy to me, it sounds like following the law of the land. and these whacky GOP'rs behave as if they shouldn't even be wearing long pants, let alone creating and enforcing the laws of this country.

[RodgersRevolution]

Were the Democrats in charge when this program was started? It seems the Republicans like running around it the dark doing evil unlawful things.

[almamatters2471]

nothing will be done. Obama and the Dems are cowards.

[jakehr3]

Judd Greg wins stupidest comment of this video award: "That isn't a reason to disassemble the CIA." Who the hell was saying that?

[AudioGraphics]

there are quite a few stupid comments in this video,

stupid comments and the conservative base go well together

[taoofmichael]

Wasnt it Bush/Cheney, that BLAMED THE FBI AND CIA FOR SEPT 11?

That might have something to do with the low morale in the CIA.

Low morale? Boo hoo. The American people want their privacy protected by the ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS WE VOTED TO ENACT, and we're supposed to worry about the wire-tappers morale? Pleeeez.

[gplex86]

The Vice President has NO authority!!!!

Technically, he's a member of Congress, too.

[Skurgefaust]

yeh thats why he told the CIA what to do and they listened to him where does your logic come from? The Dick probably made more decisions than Bush did.....

[gplex86]

My logic is that they're not supposed to listen to him. These are unconstitutional powers.

[Skurgefaust]

Yeh their not supposed to. Also the American people shouldnt be lied to, dosent mean they arent tho.

[fds1]

Put the date back in the title. The descriptions are useless.

[zndprophet]

If Obama asked the CIA to keep something secret-imagine how terrified the republicans would pretend to be over that.

God-play these assholes OFF already keyboard cat! Every time they open their mouths they might as well just be saying "We think you're all just complete idiots who will believe anything we say, no matter how ridiculous or hypocritical it is"

[iamjackscolin]

The CIA is not an intelligence organization. They are a gang of drunken saboteurs, and political gremlins.

They SHOULD be disbanded.

[EFAIR3]

How do you get facts without investigating???

[hobnailrose]

mccain thinks we need to know the facts before any investigation. see? does that sound logical? at all?

[carrierexchange]

How nice of Mr Cheney to screw us all.

[boots920]

Evil is no stupid....

Main stream media is plastic, the US Constitution is a living document.

Subversion : Subvert the "Rule of Law" (US Constitution)

so Society implodes, the best way of accomplishing this is counterfeiting the money supply into oblivion.

US Debt can never be paid off, its been an agenda of subversion since the establishment of the counterfeiting bank (Federal Reserve) Fed Note is world reserve, the globe's toast.

Its taken that long to destroy cool country.

[loki3692]

Boots if it wasn't for the internet I'm sure you would be roaming the streets with a sign that stats THE END IS NEAR!

But It is very clear you are a true repug because you never talk about the topic at hand you just keep spewing the same BS talking points over and over and if someone points out it's flaws you never respond with an answer you just go to the next talking point...you are truly a sad person that need help!

[boots920]

So what's your main point , I'm talking truth so that crazy ?

Look loki3692

Truth

US Fed Note is world reserve, (Good as Gold)

but...its not gold its paper (worthless)

[loki3692]

My point is it has nothing to do with the topic of the video and it makes you look like you need a check up from the neck up!

[boots920]

My point is the US dollar is world reserve and is worthless.

No need to check into the loony bin if you're dead.

[loki3692]

You sound just like Palin "I don't want to debate you at this debate, so I'm just going too talk about what I want to talk about"

So you should just keep going with that and "Not be a Quitter by doing the best thing for the country and..........Quitting!"

So yes you sound like your ready for the loony ben.

[boots920]

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Jim Morrison

Jim knew that's why he was a drug addict.

You debate with media spin who's in control of your mind the media or loki3692.  Your response says media.

[loki3692]

And your says Whack Job .....I think your Aluminum foil hat is way to tight.

[boots920]

And I say the US dollar is worthless, maybe clue in .

[BigPurple121]

Checks and balances!

How are these actions defendable? Our Vice President not only conducted a full blown torture program, he took steps to conceal it because he knew it to be illegal.

We should march on Capitol Hill for accountability!

[Bunnicula71]

Man, the GOP is picking the wrong fights left and right. Defending Cheney? Attacking Sotomayor?

In this situation, they are looking like obstructionists tools AGAIN

This dog hunts guys, and he's sniffing over a boneyard right now. They don't seem to be buried too deep, and they have tons of DNA all over them. This is going to be UGLY as hell.

[tunifang]

the last guy before mccain said " dont make the cia a whipping child"

no that is not it it is cheney who should be whipped.

the republican party is dead.

[wntoply6]

that last guy was senator judd from new hampshire. that "christian"republican bastard was typically trying to put the blame somewhere else. the only thing he accomplished was to make a fool out of himself.

i think i'm gonna move to new hampshire in time for his next exection, and help to throw that damned liar out of office.

[gigantibyte]

Does the CIA normally report to the Vice President?

[voyeurdug]

McCain would, "like to know the facts of the case before there's an investigation."

I would like to know the numbers to be picked in the next lottery drawing before I buy my tickets.

With all due respect, John... Mr. Senator... shipmate... that is not merely illogical; it's majestically stupid.

[tunifang]

is this really shocking?

i would be more shocked if he faces justice and is actually is court marshaled or bought to the supreme court.

[MrHelldogger]

Hey Diane, tell us more about you & your husbands ties to the Chinese govt' and trade policy affected directly by you. That's the secret labor movement folks are interested in. Just how have you rich bitches sold working people down the river. Are you directly on Wal-Marts payroll or just adhoc purchasing maneger.?

[wntoply6]

ah, typical of a "christian"republican. when you have no reason or answers as to why you fucked up, and you know the wolves are knocking your door down, quickly try to change the subject. you bastards know that works on stupid southern"christian"republicans­...so the country must be just as STUPID as them...right mrhelldogger?

tell you what you lying "christian"republican bastard, let's get to cheney and the lying cia before we worry about the insignificant. ok?

[MrHelldogger]

Got too much cum in your brain, uh. Yeah it effects a lot of you like that. Too bad. From the sound of things it's too late for you too.

[bedmasmath]

John, all he can say is i don't know

they should have asked him, HOw do you intend to find out if someone has broken the law and you know who should be tried for TREASON, the douchbag that got his freedom medal (former head of CIA, mr. Slam Dunk)

ohh, and how is mcain going to find out more information WITHOUT an investigation, if the CIA is the keeper of secrets.

[americanmuslimgirl]

Folks folks folks, we should be looking forward. Why are we looking back?

[jasonsadventure]

because that's where the bodies are buried.

[wntoply6]

those who refuse to learn from the past are destine to repeat it. but you've never heard of that have you girl.

[burntonion05]

1. Repubs said Pelosi was informed and the fact that she said she wasn't is dangerous.

2. The CIA said they didn't inform her and that they have the right to keep secrets.

3. The Repubs say that CIA should be able to keep secrets.

4. WTF

[jasonsadventure]

i still don't understand why cheney didn't just make bush disappear, dissolve congress, repeal the constitution, invade russia, nuke china, declare himself dark-lord of the americas and usher in the 1000 year reign of the sith?

it's all these half-measures that's getting him in trouble.

[spits32]

We need to know the FACTS BEFORE there is an INVESTIGATION. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.

[cpricejones]

"i'd like to know the facts before there should be an investigation". hmm .... wouldnt an investigation figure out the facts of the case? lol (noun: an inquiry into unfamiliar or questionable activities)

[MrZippa]

"his outstanding record" (on Cheney)

LMFAO!

[robinvan1983]

this explains why Cheney's daughter ran that "my dad is not evil" campaign

[flowergirl1313]

so the Bush administration is aloud to blow the cover of a secret agent out of spite, but Cheney is aloud hide secret programs from the Congress?

[robinvan1983]

don't question with republican thinking.... it is all logical!

[HugeJohn51]

allowed...but apparently yes. Best part is all the Repubs freaking out about Pelosi claiming she wasn't told about this, and that the CIA mislead her, and then...oh my, she's right. Why don't I think we'll be hearing any apologies from O'Reilly anytime soon to Pelosi?

[flowergirl1313]

lol. i knew that "aloud" didn't look right, but I couldn't figure it out. Sorry, I just woke up.

[mefilmmaking]

alright run to the hills......bush administration....run to the hills....
