GOP's FISA Thriller: 3, .. 2, .. 1 .. We're All Going to Die
And it will be all the House Democrats' fault, or so this video attempting to scare the crap out of you posted over at GOP.gov portends. (h/t Wonkette)

I have no idea why they didn't go with a mushroom cloud at the end. A sequel in the works, perhaps? It's a good thing they didn't shoot for the "based on a true story" intro, because the part about it really being the fault of the Republicans refusing to negotiate on their insistence on covering up Bush's crimes by protecting the telecoms who enabled him - That would have really detracted from that whole 'terror/panic/Democrats-fault' theme.
All the GOP has left is the fear card, and that sucker is wore slam out. Bush's trusty Supreme Court has already seen fit to throw up a firewall for the telecoms, so why is it the Republicans are still insisting on holding up the FISA bill? It's because the Republican Party will do anything they can to keep whatever secrets are hidden in those NSA spy rooms from ever incriminating their President, even if it does mean putting our country at more risk to do so. That's why.
Don't forget that it's not legal to use C-SPAN footage in political advertising! Whoops! That sucker should be coming down soon.
Repuglicans: The Party of FEAR
I never understand why Democrats aren't on the airwaves about this issue calling out the Rethugs for their refusal to pass this bill without telecom immunity. The tables are so easily turned on this issue it seems, so why aren't they doing it? I'm so sick of the Rethugs using this tactic to imply that Democrats are weak on national defense.
God only knows how much they are covering up, but the fear card is trying its damnest to cover as much of it as possible. Let me know when to pull out the duct tape and plastic sheeting.
Be afraid, be very afraid. I think it is the nazi, I mean the republicans that should be afraid. Prosecute them all.
If the house had passed the bill without amnesty and bush had vetoed it, would they still be showing this video?
oh man. this is so lame. and the idjits out there quivering in fear as they watch this --- BOOOO!!!
go back under your beds.....
lololololololololol.
Adam Franklin @ 3:
I think the Dems are quiet because they are bracing for the eventual cave-in on their side.
What a bunch of worthless goddamned authoritarians the GOP are.
FEED ME FEAR! THAT'S WHAT I WANT! I'M LIKE A TURTLE WITHOUT A SHELL! SUCK IT DOWN, AMERICA!
Feh. The Republicans disgust me.
Adam Franklin @ 3:
Orwell Rolls in his Grave. Google it. Fox news producer said, "If no one sees it, is it news."
I long for a president who recalls that his/her oath of office is to uphold the constitution, not to keep me warm and snug. Our founders put their heads in the noose to secure the freedoms of the constitution. The founders understood that the rights the government they were creating to protect were more important than their own lives. The republican mantra "the constitution is not a suicide pact", is so craven and unamerican in its cowardice that I could not believe that an American could utter the phrase. That is until it became the core republican value.
The GOP is using the same tired old message. "You need to be scared and we will protect you." The FISA bill is a fascist bill to give Bush more power and they are continuing to try and scare people. Its not working anymore and will never work again.
The only thing we have to fear is the fear-monger himself. Impeach this scum bag and Stinky Dick too. Get rid of the whole festering pot of shit eaters.
What's clear is that no one is listening to the fear mongering at this point. We've been duped by it before and will have none of it. Besides, with Obama's message of "hope", fear cannot coexist. They are two polar opposites. Once an individual chooses "hope", even the mere concept of fear no longer exists. Sorry GOPiglets! Your days of pushing people's buttons with fear mongering are OVER! What's more, if this kind of fear mongering continues, the longer it will be before another Republicscumbag gets back into office. And I mean ALL offices - this type of action will ensure the loss of Repuke seats in Congress! So keep it up, fear mongering, hate-filled GOP. You're slitting your own throat with this drivel.
This is precisely why Barack's message of hope and "yes, we can" (we will overcome?) is so incredibly powerful a weapon against evil, fear, and oppression. The Republicans have a message of darkness; Obama is bringing light back to americans. It's a clear choice right now between the darkness and the light. And, as we metaphysicians know well, "darkness is just the absence of light". Now that Obama's light is shining and resonating through the souls of every american, darkness has been banished from the hearts and minds of americans. Obama means the absence of corruption, lies, deceit and the total darkness which has surrounded this administration for the past 7 years.
BE AWARE! They may pull off a false flag attack.
Quick! Call Jack Bauer!
Oh, yeah! he can't get back until 2009.
Republicans are liars and cannot be trusted.
When will Americans finally understand this fact?

Bush the Liar @ 17:
Obama has totaled more votes in the primaries and caucuses than all the repugs combined. And hillary either has also or has come close. I hope that says something.
You know, we always hear from Chimpy and the Gang that we can't set up withdraw timetables cos then the enemy will take advantage of that knowledge. We hear that warrantless wiretapping and torture can't be discussed because then the enemy will adjust.
So what the fuck have the repubs been doing telegraphing to all our enemies that, yes, now would be a great time to strike because we won't be able to stop you?!?

ha ha ha, at first i read, "... a bunch of worthless goddamned obituarians..."
They don't get it. They're not wiping this off with one of their ridiculous false flag/terror/fear mongering bs tales of terror.
I also get a kick out of how they're trying to scare the shit out of the populace but also want everyone to assume it's all 'business as usual' and 'not to worry' when it comes to the myriad of unending disasters that the gop scum suckers have caused.
Which is it morons? Have you destroyed the country and it's time for people to wake up deal with you, or is it all sunshine and roses and everyone should go shopping? Why don't you take some time, decide and then try again.
Or better yet,
Don't.
Traitors deserve to hang by the necks til they are dead and should be left out on public display till their corpses disintegrate to dust.
THEY THINK WE'RE STUPID! Only the 19% that approve of Bush are stupid.
The last section of article one of our constitution plainly states no"ex post facto law" or a law after the fact. In fact ,if we come to realize a bad law was passed or the law was broken for the good of the country,the president has the power of the pardon. The laws are passed in good faith with good reason by the peoples house therefore let the trials which have started work there way through the court system to reach their final conclusion. Don't give me the republican talking point that it only applies to making something illegal after the fact and not visa versa. Read in plain english what the words say or let Alito, Scalia ,Thomas and The chief justice decide for us in Bush's favor again. There's a reason for the bill of rights after the body of the constitution to make clear the true meaning of the best form of people power put down on parchment.
Strike(no shopping,no work no school to show we're still here) on 3-19-08 the fifth anniversary of our dear leader's total failure .Peace now, Damn it!
Ok here is the real deal folks. The retroactive immunity extents to everyone that helped with illegal warrantless wiretapping. This immunity is not just for the Telecom Companies. This immunity is for anyone; including the President and his little White House minions. Are you getting it now. This bill needs to pass so that bush and his bottom feeding cabinet do not go to prison. If by chance the White House was gathering this intelligence to for the soul purpose of protect Americans, no real charges could ever be filed. But wait, burried deep within the Un-Patriot Act is a clause where the government can share intelligence with Corporations; if it benefits the supposed fight against terrorism. Now what kind of information would the government share with a Corporation that a court would never grant a wire tapping warrant for? Hmmmmmmmm. That does seem to be the BIG QUESTION here. Well I have an answer for that. Business transactions and financial transactions. MY GOD! The White House has been using the Justice Department to engage in insider trading in the Stock Market. Now that is a scandal indeed. A scandal just big enough to make the American people demand that certain people go to prison. Hence, the urgent need for immunity.
Wow, this is a typical GOP shenanigan. Would anyone really be surprised if they had the CIA or some paramilitary corporate force (which no doubt exists these days) executed a terrorist attack in America and blamed it on Muslims? I wouldn't be, since the GOP (and Bill Clinton, for that matter) have been committing and authorizing terrorism around the globe for decades, under the guise of "low intensity conflicts" and "counter-terrorism."
Another terror video from the Bush Administration.
jubjub @ 22:
That's so they can pull the false flag attack and blame the "terrorists".
The real enemy is WITHIN.
The time to impeach, try/convict for treason, and hang the traitors is NOW.
Sorry...clicked wrong button.
The terrorists aren't interested in America anymore. They cast the die that set us into the death (debt) spiral and sit and watch (with glee) as we make every mistep a 'free democracy' can make. Greed, drugs, debt, theocracy, spying, torture, and stupidity. Why do they need to do anything else...why waste the time, energy, or money?
I think it has become patently obvious that this administration is made up of a bunch of cowards, the biggest coward being George Bush. Where was he on 9/11? Running away. The bully in chief says "Bring 'em on" then cowers behind the under-equipped and overstretched cannon fodder formerly known as the American armed forces.
fastfeat @ 32:
[emphasis added]
You know that's what's coming. The question is when. I suspect they had it planned for just prior to or during the election but with the congress not giving them their get out of jail free card like they planned they'll probably have to move it up a few weeks.
America has been at risk for the past decade the GOP has controlled DC. Since then record budget surpluses have been turned to record deficits, our military is stretched so thin we could respond to a real attack much attacking another nation that did not attack us. Because of Bush Al-Queda is in Iraq getting all that oil to help finance another attack against us and our allies have been turned against us if we ever did need them in the future so explain to me how us being unprepared to deal with another attack is the Demmycrats fault? The GOP has run this country into the ground from the inside out. In typical Rovian fashion going to try to blame it all on the Demmycrats for any current and future problems caused by their self serving corruption, deficit spending, warmongering and incompetence.
Chuck @ 29:
yup - follow the money.
Well...I think its time to point out the obvious..these guys are afraid. That is not a tough guy position in my mind. I am not afraid and I will not be led in that direction. I reject the claim that 9/11 'changed everything' as that is exactly what Osama bin laden wanted it to do. I reject the constant demonstration of fear that must delight the hell out of OBL. I am an American and I don't play fear. I am going to get on planes and fly where I like. I will do as I please. The most these cowards can do is kill me and they are not likely to do it while looking at my face. What is the fear about?
In any case: this not about terrorism its about telco immunity and the avoidance of a legal battle that would expose the underpinnings of the GOP / Bush law breaking. The GOP has all the anti-terror / surveillance legislation it desires. What it wants is telco immunity and the 'get out of jail free card' that comes with it.
All they need is another false flag terror attack and then they can say " I told you so."
Maybe there is some credibility to an earth axis shift.
Obvious the world has gone nuts.
Laval66 @ 1:
Didn't know that. Makes sense, though.
The GOP, to their credit, did make me afraid of one thing: that they're so desperate that they'll actually be willing to go through with a Reichstag just to hold onto power. If this enormous improbability which seems to become more probable with every passing day does come to pass, I assure you that the cities will burn.
It's almost unfortunate. The Republicans have for so long been using the fear tactic that it's backfired, and if a genuine attack were to happen again a great many people would lay the blame precisely on them. They've pissed in their own cereal, so to speak.
Bill W. wrote: "All the GOP has left is the fear card, and that sucker is wore slam out."
I'm sorry, have they had any other cards for the past decade? I sure haven't seen them. To keep the metaphor going, I feel like they've had a pair of twos in their hand for 8 years straight and have managed to bluff that entire time.
If the Democratic Party has any brains, or at least, chooses to listen to those that do, they will respond to this ad campaign with Daily Show / Colbert Report like parody, because this is nearly a self-parody itself.
Democrats in Congress:
DO. NOT. CAVE.
Win this one battle and all is forgiven (well, maybe not).
peaceful easy feeling @ 41:
They don't care if it's not legal. They want to pass a law for them to have immunity. Oh, another new law.
Every conservative should be press ganged into service (via the Patriot Act which allows federal abduction and transport without trial or representation) and shipped over to the Middle East so that the American conservatives and Muslim conservatives can go kill each other.
Imagine a world finally free of gun-loving, women-hating, religious fanatics.
No where to run no where to hide.
Nice short, was Jerry Bruckheimer production.
Zenrage @ 47:
What a wonderful world this could be.
Wow.... just wow...... no words.....
Am i right in saying that Bush wants this passed because it will retroactively make him immune from any law breaking ?
Signing statements notwithstanding the President can't authorize crimes and he can't grant pardons unless someone has been convicted of a crime. Hence retroactive immunity. I don't know, maybe the Democrats are cooperating with this crap because they think the Republicans will give them a get-out-of-jail free card when required. If so, they're dreaming.
This is about one thing, just one . . . .
telecom immunity . . . that's all it is.
I say if they pass telecom immunity we . . . by the millions . . . should be burning them
out of their offices and teaching them a lesson . . . by hand . . . when they run out
of their office buildings choking on the smoke.

This shit is far from over. We will not forget, and we will not forgive.
Of course, Congressional Republicans walked out in protest to the contempt or Congresss vote against Miers and Bolton, NOT the surveillance bill as the video implies.
Republicans have never really cared about the truth - a fundamental requirement for justice and democracy.

One scene in this piece of trash shows all the Repugs walking out to the Capitol steps - wasnt this a walkout to refuse voting on the contempt citations for Meyers and Bolten and nothing to do with the PAA vote?
Be afraid! Fear! Fear... wait... do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain... MORE FEAR! FEAR! Hahhahaha you lost me at the "dramatic walkout" part.

Only Rethugs would use a cowardly act (walking out on the contempt vote) and spin it into a piece of propaganda to show their solidarity to "Save America".
Who votes for these sub-humans? Truly shameful.
Last night I got an amusing robo-call from an organization called something like Americans for Individual Freedom. The upshot was: Press 1 if you want to renew the act immediately before something terrible happens (presumably this meant going along with telecom immunity, which was not mentioned). Or you could press 2 "if you don't care about national security".
Anybody else get that call? It crossed my mind that maybe my telecom company had greased tthe wheels to send it out to all of its customers.
Chuck @ 29:
Bingo. I've been commenting about this since it first came to light. They don't care about national security. They care about their greed and security of that greed. Period.

Something that need to be brought up every time people discuss immunity for the telecoms is the administration started to illegally wire tap before BEFORE! 9/11/2001.
I love the way people see a GOP video, know that all of the GOP is voting as a block for this, with a GOP administration fear mongering and so want to turn it on the Democrats. AMAZING.

Man, if I ever saw Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, George Bush, or any other Republican scum walking down the street ,I swear to God, I would slap the taste right outta their fucking mouth. This ad is nothing but an attempt to scare the American people into thinking we are in danger from a threat that George Bush has said he would allow to happen, because even though he needs the bill, if it doesn't contain immunity for the telecoms, he will VETO the bill. So, let's call this ad exactly what it is: TERRORISM.
The Champ is out.
THE GOP IS NOT A PARTY ... THEY ARE A CONSORTIUM OF THUGS USING OUR GOVERNMENT TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. THEY ARE DOING THE WIRE TAPPING ANYWAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT. BUT NOT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. THE REASON THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS LAW IS BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE COMING INTO POWER AND THEY NEED A RETROACTIVE SAFETY NET AGAINST THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. PLUS THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO WIRE TAP FOR THE 2008 ELECTIONS IN HOPES THAT THEY CAN STEAL THIS AGAIN.
Man, that was bad. Methinks someone in the production line of this thing is in a snit because he or she didn't get to work on '24' this season.
What a larf!
And yet still the color-coded national threat level remains where it's been for how many years now?
What a bunch of lies. They are ignoring all the laws on the books anyway; its not like their illegal wiretapping is going to stop.
In all seriousness, what do you guys think the chances are of the Dems blocking this? 50/50? I haven't read anything in the MSM about the odds of the administration getting its way, but if history is any indicator, it does not look good.
How many times these last several years have we all stood by and watched Bush do what he wants? Signing statements, Guantanamo, Gonzales, surge, Schiavo, and so on. He has systematically acted without fear, always pushing the limits of authority. This one, folks, is too much. Retroactive immunity and self-pardon reek of Watergate. Somethin' aint right.
But do you honestly thing he'll get away with this?
I

With the nation in crisis, thanks to the dastardly Dems, it's nice to know that GWB is camped out in the White House war room, monitoring the terrorists who want to KILL US and warding off the attacks made possible because the PAA "expired." Whoops. At this time of mortal danger, Bush is junketing around Africa. But we here in the U.S. are accustomed to Bush being MIA.
Speaking of MIA, where's Condi these days? The U.S. embassy in Belgrade is stormed and burned, and she can't rouse herself to make an appearance. WTF!?!

Adam Franklin @ 3:
I've been wondering for years why the dems never show the blantant lies , hypocricy and idoicy of the repukes in ads. Now that the public is hip to all of Bush and the GOP's lying spin bullshit, they could blow these bastards out of the water with an effective T.V. campaign.
Instead, they will hire D.C. insider idiots like Bob "O for 8" Shrumm, and Mark "corporate-fascist, union busting asshole" Penn to advise them.
There's urgency! It is to oust the neocon in chief and his Dick come November...Only if it could be sooner- the terror goes with it...
Adam Franklin @ 3:
it's because the dems don't and won't get a fair shot on the airwaves. where have you been? we have our very own pravda now.

Adam Franklin @ 3:
Quite true. The ad may look ridiculous to sophisticated eyes but, as is so often the case, the Republicans are flat-out out-hustling us.
did anybody else here think that this was a joke when they saw it? I literally could not believe that this was an actual ad.
OH NO!
This is how the republican party think that they and the 30% of the population who still support them are going to beat the dems as well as the other nearly 70% of us with this INSULT not only to our ability to research the matter but our INTELLEGENCE!
The have THE NERVE to call US COWARDS yet if not for scared cowardly people the GOP would have no base.
Well you can't blame them for appealing to their base I suppose.
A VOTE FOR CLINTON MEANS IN AMERICA WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT WORKING POOR MUST NOW SURRENDER (if not,by force) WHAT LITTLE WAGES THEY HAVE SO THOSE POOR WEARY INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN CATCH A BREAK.
THATS RIGHT ***15,000,000*** POOR PEOPLE WILL HAVE THERE WAGES GARNISHED SO AS NOT TO “LEAVE THEM BEHIND”
What's really bad is , even so the bill sunset,.. it has a clause in the bill that still extends it for a full year, so it still active for 360 more days before it really goes away. So what's the problem? That's right, they wont tell you that, so they can cry and complain about it and tell you the Terrorist are going to get You now since the bill sunset. My friends, They Are The Real Terrorist.(Who's Scaring Who? The Media and the government of course)
With my apology to Country Joe McDonald
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask and don't give a damn, next stop — Iraq / Iran.
And it's 5, 6, 7, we better let FISA skate.
This ain't no time to question why, whoopee we're all gonna die!
So the Republicans walked out on their job. If anyone else did that on their job, they would be fired.
I'm so scared, Oh Lord! Well, I have no choice. I'll light a join.
What can we expect from the party that brings you chickenhawk cowards
so eager for war but so apprehensive about fighting in it themselves. They're
whole agenda is to create non-stop war that poor suckers like you and me
will die in while they sit at home scaring the shit out of everyone and getting
rich doing it.
And FUCK YOU Jay Rockefeller...you and you're whole evil family!!
veritas @ 15:
Somestimes I wonder if the dems are in on the GOP's war as well, they just know the best way to go about it is not to flaunt their lawlessness in the people's faces. Is Telecom immunity really even necessary if they can't even drag them to court legally anymore?

October 13, 2007 WaPo article cites QWest former ceo statement that NSA
approached his firm to wiretap in February 2001.
If the war on terrorists is such an important issue why wasn’t the issue brought forth back by our government when Qwest’s former ceo apparently refused warrant-less surveillance in February 2001 prior to 9/11?
Instead apparently the incident is revealed years later in an article in a Washington Post October 17th 2007.
Also, why is warrant-less wiretapping wrapped around 9/11 because it appears the procedure was introduced (& probably inacted) months prior to the incident.
Is this one of those Michael Bay movies?
.
SINCE WHEN IS WARRANTLESS CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGAL?
If WARRANTLESS is to be considered legal, then why the need for amnesty from prosecution for violating the Fourth Amendment?
If doing the Patriotic thing means handing over your protection from a form of government that is compelled to invade one’s privacy, then how did the Founders get the Fourth Amendment wrong? What then, is the definition of TYRANNY?
What is it that Congress supports and defends if not the Constitution of the USA?
This isn't a fight for or against a faction of Americanna, the Democrats or Republicans, it is a fight to preserve a way of life for Americans... to feel safe in their their privacy from tyranny not terrorists. Let the Courts take care of terrorists.

Shock Doctrine anyone? More and more I see that I really need to read Naomi's book. Go back to bed, America. The GOP is controlling the horizontal and the vertical.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Here comes the false flag attack....
Of course, if there is another attack, you can blame BUSH.
The clown said he was going to veto anything that DIDN'T INCLUDE IMMUNITY.
I swear, the threat of terrorism has been used to rape this country more than any threat ever faced in over 225 years. More so than the Cold War, per capita of the earnings from the Republican war criminal masterminds. They may have some catching up to do with Vietnam/Cold War earnings, but counting the time their "shares" of profiteer wealth has appreciated, these gains blow away any other wars. And the neocons have concentrated control of this hydra of war wealth throughout 7 years of fearmongering and aggressive, illegal and immoral war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Criminals who should be tired before a military tribunal at GITMO.
Any indication they are withholding information will result in waterboarding
Adam Franklin @ 3:
The required airwaves are OWNED by the telecoms/republicans.
I hopw that helps you figure this tough question out.
2fargone @ 110:
Eternal optimist, eh?
If the U.S. Military/Government do not "protect and defend" the U.S. Constitution, then they should be tarred and feathered and strung up. period
I'd leave a comment here, but I'm hiding under the bed.
I am now more afraid of the last hamburger that I ate than I am about the fact that terrorists are on the phone lines. Our air is polluted, our water quality stinks, American get flooded out of their houses, and when they move, they have to breath formalin fumes. What a country! I think that the Repugs in the House were running out of shame because they know what they let Bush do to us the last seven years and they know that the end is near.
ok, did they spend my money making this piece of dreck? shame shame

Rethugs have been insulting our intelligence for years and laughing in the faces of those who believe them. Why do you think Bush smiles so much at planned photo-ops? Because no one there disagrees with him. Did they spend our money to make that video? I try not to think about that or else I'd scream.
It's the same GOP story as always:
"Obey us or they will (win/attack us/follow us here/make fun of us/eat FRENCH fries)!"
Fear, fear and more fear. Is it 2009 yet?
Republicans are praying for an attack against America so they can shift the blame to the democratic congress. This is no different than the blame shifting they do 100% of the time anyway. That is todays GOP- shifting into irrelevance.
Is this the the original ad that was on the GOP.gov website, or has it been edited? If so, it's outrageous. Please verify.

It has not been edited at all.
