Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America

Olbermann takes Bush on for the "Military Commissions Act" and the death of Habeas Corpus.

"And if you somehow think Habeas Corpus has not been suspended for American citizens but only for everybody else, ask yourself this: If you are pulled off the street tomorrow, and they call you an alien or an undocumented immigrant or an "unlawful enemy combatant" — exactly how are you going to convince them to give you a court hearing to prove you are not? Do you think this Attorney General is going to help you?

This President now has his blank check.

He lied to get it.

He lied as he received it.

Is there any reason to even hope, he has not lied about how he intends to use it, nor who he intends to use it against?"

did Obama start two stupid wars ?

[hawkesworth1712]

I know it's been said before but if he was given free rein by network owners he would be America's new Edward R Murrow.

No obama didn't those wars, but he has sent troops into libya, syria. Our govt started these wars 75 years ago, killing innocents, stuffing people in prisons with no due process, no attorney etc and they count on morons like you and eospho to believe anything the govt says, nevermind the fact they have been caught in so many lies. People like you who sound like fucking retards will always be blinded by party loyalty, why? because you're both dummies.

[brmillgr]

You're both retards, left vs right is retarded, honestly I cant see any difference between Obama and Bush they both did basically nothing they said they were going while on the campaign trail.

He didn't say Obama is worse than Bush he said he's done certain things which are worse (fact) He's abused the crap out of the 1917 espionage act and escalated domestic spying. He's doubled down on leakers, continued Guantanamo, discard habeus corpus, and the hidden memos for using drones which we already know includes civilians in non-warzones (ie sacrifices). Obama may not be as bad as Bush, but he's still worse than Nixon. At which point evil is no longer discernible.

Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, same players different Puppets.....

[Richard Einstein]

Bush was a treasonous cockroach.. but Barry Soetoro is 10 times worse... and where is the outrage from the libtards now?

People better wake the fuck up, this is not our government.. it has been hijacked by the zionist scum who murdered 60 million in the USSR and now they plan to slaughter many more in America.

Sandy Hook was a staged false flag to disarm us, 9/11 was done by the same criminals.. the zionists... Israel is not our friend but our most dangerous enemy..

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE.
