  • How can you wage war on a goddamned tactic?!?!

  • I think the insinuation that if one is against this law, one is a sympathizer with Al Qaeda. Those in opposition to this measure are in complete agreement that for an American citizen to collude with the enemy is a despicable thing. But they don't go so far as to say the rest of us should sacrifice our civil liberties in extending more power to the government! Graham's little rhetorical flourish at the end was disgusting.

  • They throw around the term "act of war", but the term "war" has been totally distorted!! We've been fighting "wars" that were never LEGALLY DECLARED by Congress! It makes no sense to hold citizens for a suspected "act of war" when "war" is not declared. Congress needs to get OFF THEIR ASSES and declare a war before treating people under the terms of "war".

  • The constitution guarantees American citizens the right to a fair trial! No where does the constitution state that Congress can murder any American citizen they wish with NO TRIAL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • Evil, selfish, elitist son of a bitches. TREASON you fu__ers.

  • Lindsay Graham = shitty actor.

  • It's on the record and they were convicted October 1942, under the 'Trading with the enemy Act', that would be the father of George H. Bush Sr. - Prescott Bush of Union Banking Corp. There's your enemy right there and what happened to them? Presidents of the country they betrayed!

    These Senate and Congress Critters are in for a nightmare when they meet their maker.

  • I don't know if I should laugh or cry ..... these people are Lunatics ... !!!!!

  • @MsAngelrules seriously.

  • the only group of people that are destroying the American "way of life" that I see are these goddamned traitors in Congress.

  • George Prescott Bush, (George W's grampa) was busted in 1941 for helping to launder money for the Nazis thru the NY bank where he worked. the fruit does not fall far from the tree.

  • psychopaths at loose in Washington DC. What is to be done with these madmen?

  • Creeps on steroids.

  • amen

    sen Graham is right...

  • Yes! Lets put the FBI and CIA and ATF under the same scrutiny and same rules that are imposed on the rest of the planet now. Lets be fair across the board right???????

  • Graham should be hung for treason. You people keep letting these pasty old farts instill fear in you, and you'll lose every shred of freedom you ever had. You've allowed your govt to become too powerful and militarized. As soon as you stand up against this hogwash, they'll detonate a bomb in America and blame it on one of you so they can continue taking your rights away. Drop fear and find common sense, or suffer the lives of sub-class slaves for you and your children.

  • Just frame everything as war, people as "terrorists' or "enemy combatants" and you can do anything. The Constitution is gone via semantic trickery. These guys need to be taken out of office as quickly as possible. They are a cancer.

  • Youtube: Denzel Washington and Patriot Act.

  • If you are gonna kill American Citizens for propaganda send a drone to Fox next.

  • Sooooo,the Senate wants to arrest the CIA and ATF agents?

  • These are some truly scary people!

    

  • Is it just me or does it the Senate room moving back & forth behind Sen. Graham? Bunch of f'ing treasonous senators!!!

  • US Constitution - Article III

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

  • Only 4700 views?? Wow.. incredible...

  • You could put McCain and Graham half way around the globe and it still wouldn't be far enough away from me.

  • I now feel dumber for having watched this.... As I youngster I was told tv would rot my brain, now go outside and play. Those two Senators are psychopaths. That which you fear you will draw to you.... thier minds are the reason nightmares are born.

  • These Congresswhores, working for the Military-Industrial Complex, pretend they are anti-Nazi while arguing in favor of a carbon copy of Nazi laws.

    9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by the Military-Industrial Complex, covered up by the mainstream media.

  • @1111paradoxlost1111 Am I mad that the our public education system doesn't educate students? absolutely.

  • i never really trusted the government lmao LIARS!!!!!!!

  • This is Treason at it's purest definition

  • LIAR!! AL-QUEADA IS A CIA DATABASE ARREST THE CONGRESS!

  • I liked this video because it shows the sad truth that.... America is getting crazier.

  • This bill is unconstitutional fear mongering at it's worst...

    

  • Go ahead, do the terrorists job for them.

  • I don't know why everyone is so upset, the government is here to help!? Its not like this law is gonna get muddled down in the future or abused. I mean if they throw us all in Confinement, who will they rob...I mean TAX! I blindly support this piece of legislation!

  • This makes me want to join Al-Queda.

  • Comment removed

  • LOOK AT ALL THE EMPTY SEATS!!!!!!

  • Throughout this video, Graham presumes the guilt of those he refers to as enemy combatants and denies due process. Due process for war crimes doesn't necessarily have to be a jury trial, but it does have to present evidence and allow a defense. A judge should have to be involved in some kind of review of the matter; it shouldn't be possible for the president to kill an American citizen on American soil based on some context that hasn't been definitively determined.

  • so how come George Senior Bush's poppy Prescott Bush wasn't arrested and interrogated

  • and what constitutes an enemy 

  • this is insane

  • The only terrorist are The three speaking about killing Americans without trial!!!!!!!!

  • Watching 3 senators shred the Constitution with doublespeak. The bill does not specify or define what a citizen must do in order to lose their rights; no due process of law means all that's necessary is for you to be _suspected_ of collusion with anyone the DoD considers a terrorist. That terrorist designation currently includes anyone who protests injustice anywhere in the U.S. Not so much the Land of the Free anymore, is it?

  • this guy can really go on nor so many breaths between madness.

  • The biggest supporters of Al Qaeda are their creators: the U.S. government!

  • vigilantes please....snipers....help humanity.....

  • I thought this only happened with Dictators. Passing laws forbidding the citizens to behead them if overthrown. Surreal.

  • Lindsey Graham is destroying our way of life.

  • this is a ruse. no where in the bill does it mention al quaeda. if that is what it is supposedly protecting us against put it in the bill. this is blatant propaganda put forth with the intention of making obama veto it so that the republicans can garner support! don't fall for it people!

  • but our government helps al ciada in lybia...

    ?

  • McCain would be better called McTraitor.

  • We have soldiers in Afghanistan fighting against Al Qaeda (War on Terror is a hoax) and yet it was the US gov. (CFR) who supported and trained Al Qaeda to overthrow Gaddafi in LIbya. There is now an Al Qaeda flag flying over Libya! Al Qaeda has a base there. We should be calling the US gov. a terrorist for supporting Al Qaeda!

    YouTube: "Al Qaeda flag flying over Libya - Dennis Kucinich reports" /watch?v=3OywA0ry610

    Al Qaeda Flag Flies Over Benghazi, Libya 2011

  • this bs from a guy who was a POW

  • What fuggin planet do these fruit loops live on?

    You know if these people didnt hold office and were on the corner just preaching,

    They would be put in nut house! Seriosly! Loaded full of pills, and told to drool in the corner quietly!

  • @Louloe no, a better question would be "What fuggin planet do these guys want to create?".....

  • "Call the FBI ma, I just located the terrorists!... yeah, they're in Washington talking about destroying the Bill of Rights and the Constitution! Tell FBI to send in a drone. No need for questions."

  • WOW what a blowhard. All this theater about fake terrorists that are trying to repel the invader from their homeland, after a Reichstag false 9/11 attack that created a fabricated enemy for the conquest of the empire. Now American citizens are at risk by this criminal government if they label you a supposed "Terrorist"! They will stage a domestic terror attack and blame it on patriots to begin the round up or just send predator drones to our houses.

  • I guess the best thing to so would to stop being a 14th amendment citizen. Then the US is the enemy of the people. Basically for disagreeing with ANYTHING the US government says, you become a terrorist, and you are now subject to imprisonment and death? Wow, these people are completely detached from reality.

  • This is TREASON! The greatest enemies to the United States I have seen are in this video!

  • Someone PLEASE give Senator Graham a LOBOTOMY FAST!

  • "You know what, fuck it, let's just bring back the Alien and Sedition Acts. And while we're at it, McCarthy for President in 2012."

  • We need term restrictions on the congress & senate, these incumbents are becoming senile & corrupted. Campaign finance reform needs to be initiated, CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE, SPEECH ISN'T MONEY.

    Has everyone in Washington D.C lost their fucking minds?

  • @eliteblast It's not the elite that lost their minds necessarily. - it's the American citizens whom have bought into the BUY, BUY, BUY & spend, spend, spend time after 9-11: at stadiums, shopping malls & buying McMansions: all the while never seeing or questioning a lot of what was going on behind their backs all the way from Clinton - (GATT & NAFTA sell out = jobs) to Iraq, Afghanistan & soon to occur Iranian WW3 ... When the 'me' lifestyle got it in 2008 & to now scandals ...

  • What is wrong with freedom?

  • @eliteblast I agree, what is wrong with it, for all. But that is not how this has been engineered. They are in a Fabian collectivist mindset. They are using Agenda 21 as a way to box in the remaining US & world citizenry into a minimalist life. We as middle class comsumers are being punished for this.The UN /world leadership: WILL NOT let wealthy elites be taxed.The elite keep all their money - as they'd rather bleed underlings of the resources, monies, land that they've acquired.

  • I think we need to be very careful how we handle this, this could be used to accuse anyone of being affiliated with the enemy, without due process we have no actual way of knowing if the charges are warranted or made up. Remember the harm the communist threat McCarthyism caused.

  • @eliteblast They alreadt removed "Posse commitatus" by allowing the National Defense Authoriztation Act to ge signed by 93 US Senator's recently - the act you speak of as to due process is being thrown out the window! Along with the Baby, Bathwater & anything else almost that seems 'helpful' to any accused American. Now go investigate FEMA camps. Why are soldiers actively being scouted to work in detention / interment / -re-education camps NOW by the US Army ... ? So: it's 'on'!

  • So according to this douche Graham , if you "collaborate with the enemy " you will be first killed , then kept somewhere , then tried in a court : " Death , Detention , Prosecution " (ha ha) It is fast approaching the time when the rest of the animals on the farm will look at the pigs and then to the men and they will not be able to see any difference . I cannot believe what is happening to this huge , vast , great country .

  • @salemthemerciless we the hoofed ones are already there...

  • Your poor unenlightened voted sheep. If the knuckle dragging police of a university can pepper spray students then the U.S. federal government can find within their means the legal grounding to do whatever the fuck they want. Whether lending 7 trillion dollars to semiretarded banksters or allowing an illegally installed Presidential figure the ability to engage in the illegal attack of Iraq thereby forcefully engaging the entire world in possible world wide war for the sole purpose of ego. Hello

  • Senators Graham and McCain are sick and need to have their heads examined !! They are destroying this world !! It seems they are so evil that they are worried some Americans are going to tell on the evil acts they have done. The truth always surfaces ..... and they are showing their true evil rotten selves !!

  • @1111paradoxlost1111 No, that's what our 'education' system is for. You are confused because you weren't educated, you were taught how to pass federally mandated tests

  • Tea Party, OWS - the threat at the end... it's not directed at Al Qaeda, it's directed at you.

  • I haven't heard Lindsay Graham's speech because I'm at a server at the moment. But just watching the video was fun. Scary fun. First distraction is his side to side motion, as he rythmically shifts his weight from one leg to the other, back and forth, back and forth. I wonder what that feels like for him? Prostate massage?

    Haircut reminescent of Herr Hitler. Hand gestures also. Stacatto termination of his points (ditto). Fang-baring grimaces, repeatedly.

  • Great! So all some bureaucrat has to do is point their finger at any American, shout "Al Qaeda," and that person can be "disappeared" with no warrrant, indictment, judge, jury, verdict or appeal--no muss, no fuss and mums the word? Wow! I feel safer already!

    There's a word for that, Lindsey. It's called TYRANNY.

    Lindsey, you took an oath, not to defend us, hold our hands, wipe our nose or check under our beds for any imagined boogeymen. You took an oath to defend and uphold the CONSTITUTION!

  • @SDupe44 Please watch this again. Senator McCain is not advocating using drones to bomb US citizens who are "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" (That is the classic definition of treason.) McCain is poking fun at what Graham is saying.

  • Pity Sen Graham didn't bother applying due process to deconstructing the lie that is Al Qaeda, had he done so he and everyone else would have discovered based on the investigative work of a British journalist that the lead source of intel to the CIA & FBI was in debt to Osama Bin Laden and lied and fabricated him both for the reward and also to have him eliminated, another words a foreign fall guy who also had dirt on various US administrations, 911 was a inside job ...

  • Three men using different language to say the same thing... Don't they understand that, by the laws they are trying create, they're all speaking treason? Fuckin idiots!

  • Treason!

    

  • This guy is a fuckin' Nazi !!! That lying fear mongering piece of trash makes me sick ! Who the hell is that guy working for ?!!!

  • Aren't these senators arguing about thought crimes? The 911 attacks happened but they were done not in concert with any formidable military machine - unlike World War II. Here they are talking about an individual or group of individuals somehow being able to carry out large scale military actions on U.S. soil without the ever intrusive FBI and other intelligence agencies knowing about it (of course knowing about it would lead to effective actions to prevent any attacks, right?).

  • These men are insane.

  • The New CIVIL WAR will be Against this ZIONIST Murderers

  • I spent 22 years defending the Constitution of these United States Of America!! What these three are talking about or Debating on the floor of the senate are crimes against the people of these United States! What the hell happened to the Bill of Rights?

    Semper Fidelis !!

  • a load of bumpffffff, arrest the 3 o them for treason

  • All I know, THESE MEN should not be in charge of who kills who.

  • An American helping the Nazis should be investigated, arrested and tried with a jury of 12 peers and finally punished if found guilty. If found to be helping the enemy and found guilty of treason, they should be executed. Why do these men feel the need to tie logic in knots just to have the power to KILL AMERICANS. The Constitution has not mattered for years, why should it start mattering to these men now.

  • with all this talk of the 1% lets keep in perspective that there is a 1%, the sociopaths of the world, who unsurprisingly are attracted to power, and who control the political systems of the world. Destroy the ring and end slavery.

  • Senator Lindsay Graham is a Scary Nazy nutjob. Lets see him pick up an m16 and go into iraq.

  • I think we have lost enough rights. I would rather have the terrorist then the intrusive government.

  • Senator Levin, what do you think of the Noahide Laws? Do you also favor the beheading of Christians because they are "idolators"?

    Look up "America's New Government Church" on the internet.

  • Levin's a friend of Chabad Lubavitch. Learn about this group of would be rulers in a theocracy in America. Look up on the net:

    "Merry Christmas and OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"

  • oh, I forgot to mention: Once they've labelled us "terrorist sympathizers" and thrust us into "indefinite" detention with no trial in Guantanamo or other off-shore prison, they can waterboard & torture us, psychologically and/or physically, until we confess to crimes we never committed. This way, they're always "right" and they can keep pursuing the take-over / occupation strategy "indefinitely." Isn't that con-VEEN-ient?

  • Al CIADA. This is so wrong. Lie, Lies, and more lies to gain further control over our lives. We have communist traitors in the government. Read the book, State Secrets by Poncins. Don't give up your guns!

  • What about the continuous ties to al queda (30 years ago to the present Libya conflict) with the CIA, NATO, US Military, FBI, US Government...are you all "enemy combatants"?

  • McCain is an idiot and shows he has no understanding! An American in the USA ("...subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." ) is held according to the Criminal Law if the crime is within the criminal code. An American in a foreign country which we are at war with, is under or in a WAR environment. There is provisions in the law for treason and collaboration against your country with the enemy. That falls under different rules...not just common criminal. Sen. Lindsey Graham for president!

  • What about the Rockefeller's assisting the nazi's during WWII, they weren't held as "enemy combatants"?

  • All three of these Senators need to be arrested under the Enemy Sedition Act. They are not only the traitors to the constitution and bill of rights, but the true terrorists.

  • The "War on Terror" is a total moneyscam to justify a complete takeover over the middle east and its resources by the global military industrial complex and its financiers.  Anyone in the U.S. who disagrees or interferes with this plan will be attacked by drones or detained indefinitely with no trial. Isn't that charming.

  • I do not trust a genocidal lunatic hallucinating in god. This is my country get out

  • These guys would kill George Washington in a heartbeat today.

  • har har har (sorry it ain't funny; I just have to laugh to keep from crying)

    what may be coming to you: 1) Death .. and 2) detention (of the corpse??!) .... 3) prosecution (of the how-long?-detented corpse???!) = kill first, scatter the ashes, then make up the spin ! and, Oh, we saw at least one example of that already.

    heilT U$A !

  • 1. The "war on terrorism" is not war. terrorism is not a sovereign country. this is nothing more than a global policing action. 2. Grahm should listen to his own words about what will happen when one decides to join a small group who choose to harm us.

  • What about people who live on this land and dont believe in statism/nationalism? What about those disenchanted with the left/right paradigm of plutocracy? What about people who believe the law of this land is a self governing republic not a democracy, where individual has rights? Are they "terrorists" even if peaceful? What if those people believed this land was theirs to inhabit by birthright because they were born here? Would they be protected or droned too? Or just come up missing? Im curious

  • We need electoral reform. Repeal the Electoral College. Abolish the Two Party Campaign Debates. Throw these people out who have brought this country to declaring anyone, American or not, can be droned down any where any time by the military power that we affectionately call Uncle Sam. Sad days ahead.

  • ...like Prescott Bush...

    

  • “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” ....Thomas Jefferson

  • I agree with the old guy in the middle

  • Sorry I hit the LIKE button, meaning thank Goodness these Idiots ( congressmen ) are exposed!! We better all fight for all our freedoms and PRIVACY!!

  • McCarthyism Vs. 2!! ...  We STILL Love you Lucile Ball!! ... Yikes!

  • Wtf.. is al qaeda the fkn enemy or an ally? Why did NATO assist them in getting into power in Libya if they're so bad?

  • These two are traitors.

  • they're gonna kick off a big war and call anyone anti war anti government . these guys are sick brainwashed perverted and mad . you need to get rid of this government before it gets rid of you .

  • didn't prescot bush collaborate with nazi's ?

  • Put this clip on fast forward and i bet you couldn't tell the difference between Lindsay Graham and a metronome.

  • Anyone destroy US Constitution is an enemy combatant. You know what is coming your way.

    A Rope.

  • This douche has to suck cock

  • Shooting an American citizen from above with a Predator drone, means that American citizen would have no way to try and prove their innocence. Which they have a right to do. Lindsay Graham is nothing less than an enemy to the Constitution.

  • i don't agree with killing US citizens with predators, but I do think that if there are people acting along with terrorist should be tried in a military sense than a court of law.

  • I find it interesting that when referencing Nazi collaborators neither senator mentioned Prescott Bush or E. Roland Harriman, both helped get the Nazi war machine up and running financially.

  • he says "us" and "our" a lot. keep in mind he better be talking about himself and government. i never want to be associated with these stupid pieces of shit. my way of life doesn't involve making rules to allow you to strip any citizen from their basic rights. fuck you US government.

  • It's all a fucking LIE. They aid, support, and fund ALL of the 'terrorists' you ever hear about. WHO THE FUCK VOTES FOR THESE PEOPLE. It upsets me, because you are all going to be fucking killed by this government and these genocidal maniacs.

  • first to say it.... CANADA F*CK YA thumbs up if your moving to canda

  • Destroy our way of life???? But they can print money and DESTROY Our way of life by loaning the banks single dollars for 97 cents.

  • @crazygluesniffers Its the fed, and its single dollars for about 10 cents.

  • WOW.... This gives the government the ability to do whatever they want. They can declare you a terrorist for protesting, walking across the street, etc

  • Government is fucking Al Qaeda!!

  • So if they are so obsessed with American Citizens helping the "enemy" and yakking about American Citizens who "helped the Nazis" WHY DO THEY GIVE THE BUSHES AND THE KOCHS A PASS?

  • These mother fuckers are sick and insane!! These politicians need to be arrested and imprisoned. Held indefinitely for sure since they are working with al c i a da.

  • the irony is these men can cause more danger to americans than al qaeda ever could.

    and i love graham's threat at the end...

  • The people of Arizona and South Carolina gave us some winners here. (said in sarcasm).

  • Graham and McCain make me sick. People like this are a disgace their party, and their country.

  • @BigDaddyDJD and the human race.

  • Who are the Nazis here? The senators!!!

  • @kaustin777, telling someone who doesn't agree with you is the last resort of a desperate debater who has run out of arguments.

  • @labrusca10 the difference here is I'm not a debater, I am a soldier. I am also someone who has read the lack of life experience in these comments and is shedding a bit of light onto the ball field. Ignorance may be an excuse, but it will not save you from the reality of the what the world is capable of. Take it for what it is...and be thankful you still have the right to disagree. It ain't pretty, but then again nobody said it would be.

  • @kaustin777 So let me see if I understand your argument: If people don't like the Constitution being violated and the Amendments being gutted they can pack their bags and leave? How about YOU leave since you are the one who doesn't appear to appreciate the Law of the Land. Take Cain and Levin with you.

  • Buy some guns guys. They couldn't just leave us alone. We're going to have to defend ourselves.

  • Rights? WTF are those?

  • These republican and democratic senators are scumbags!!!!!

  • Paranoia will destroy ya. Understand the context of the debate. If you are a true enemy you will surely meet your fate by the hands of an American soldier if not by a "plolitcal" process. I pose a challenge to those of you who have never left the town you were born in to travel abroad and then reconsider your stance. Seriously, if you don't like it here....MOVE your ass overseas and check yourself.

  • "And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson

  • Where are those who's seats are empty? WTF is going on here? Where are those elected Aholes?

  • wake up the sleepers

  • what happened to our treason laws? If government thinks someone is plotting with an enemy to attack America, they should be tried for treason first. If they are guilty, they're citizenship gets revolked and they can be turned over to the military court

  • @ImmortalOne09 Terrorism is NOT an enemy, it is a tactic. You seem to forget that your Rights are not given to you by a piece of paper but are given to you by your Creator and cannot be "revoked" by a stroke of a pen. Don't be so haste to destroy liberty, instead ask why these terrorists attack and you'll see that THEY act out of fear. Our past leaders have caused this problem with creating an empire that we cannot and should not sustain.

  • these terror ists

    we know who al quaida is

  • I thought the canon fodders of US busy defending our freedom.

    Where the fork are they?

  • We have seen the enemy and it is scoundrels like these. They're doing more to destroy our freedoms, wealth, and legal institutions than al Qaeda ever could. Osama must be smiling.

  • Ask a Japanese Internment Camp prisoner from WWII if this is good policy. They were at least alive after the US confiscated their businesses and land. Using Drones to kill US citizens on US soil without due process is insane. This slippery slope means anyone who disagrees with the government could be deemed an enemy combatant. The Constitution is inconvenient for the Corporate Oligarchy that is really running the show. Good Bye Democracy; hello Totalitarianism.

  • Tea Party and OWS are technically "enemy combatants" under these sociopathic psychotic drunk idiots. BTW, the name AL-CIA-DA says it all.

  • But what about that Constitution thing that we swore to uphold?....... Eh who cares?

  • 5:10

    Says death first? of course we see what this douchebag wants.

  • glad that fuckin peice of shit McCain didn't get the election. Not that we were better off with Obama. FML

  • Welcome to hell ladies and gentleman.

  • So... if you are a rapist, murderer, child molester many states will not support the death penalty, however! If you are a SUSPECTED Terrorist you could be shot on site. WHAT A JOKE!!

  • @livenlrge Apples and oranges...don't mind hearing from the "other" side, but make it relevant please.

  • Hold this man accountable for HIGH TREASON....along with the rest of the politicians that are trying to police our country and the world

  • al qaeda ... created by the CIA, to take away our rights. Stop buying the terrorists card... The real terrorist is the global elite, carried out by the corrupt governments of the world, starring the USA.

  • Liars. Every damn one of them. They are the enemy they describe when debating for this travesty. These so called "representatives" are guilty of the very thing they stand here and describe. The decision of the 97 Senators who voted for this have taken the actual "act of aggression" against the people. They should be charged under the exact same law they voted in favor of.

  • FEAR MONGERING!!
