Why should I believe anything will come of this?

And DiGenova was the one who swept the Clinton investigation under the rug. Just like Condi will do with this one. Watch.

its time for anyone who is anti-Obama to turn off the 'game' and recognize this for what it is - absolute monstrous incompetence and a horrible breach of privacy. it was bad when it happened to Clinton and Perot, and its bad now, ESPECIALLY since they never told Obama...

looking at the files AT ALL is an invasion of privacy. We MUST know who did this and why they did it, and why they were "curious" - each of these breaches came directly after a major event, and this has happened on multiple occasions.

There MUST be an investigation of this monumental incompetence.

"Heckuva job, Condi!"

"The State Department is saying that Secretary of State, Condi Rice, is saying that she only learned of the breaches yesterday..."

This is exactly how all of Bush administration appointees get away with this bullshit. Put her on the stand and we'll here more of the same. Trouble is, she might be telling the truth.

I don't expect for a minute that if we put George W. Bush on the stand that he would honestly be able to answer a god damn thing about what's going on. The guy is there for face time and signing statements. This is how it works.

Gonzalez? He supposedly knew nothing either.

I'll bet if anything does come of this it will be some low level people in their early thirties who graduated from some Bible Belt college no one has ever heard of to take the fall. And they won't know anything, natch.

It's the no-nothing bureaucratic smokescreen. And it's planned to be that way.

its not surprising or stunning to think they would do this, but to KNOW, Karen, is a wake up call.

with all the Democratic infighting and media fighting, this is a punch in the face - a reminder all Democrats should respond to of exactly who we are fighting and why regardless of who the nominee was, we must unite behind him/her and prevent more Republican thuggery and abuse of power such as this.

i am seeing (and this certainly is not all by any stretch by some) Hillary supporters such as Larry Johnson saying this is 'no big deal'

What the hell is wrong with these people? has the Dem party become so divided we cant be collectively outraged at something so justifiably monstrous?

I dont know anymore, sir or maam, I just dont know... for all we know whoever did it contributed to the Hillary campaign and he's just trying to play it safe.... I guess its understandable THAT way... even if it wasnt the way the Rethugs are they could frame her campaign for it, I wouldnt put it past them.

Regardless what we should all know is to not trust any denial from the Bush side without actual proof.

I was watching Dan Abrahms until the kids took over the TV. Tucker's comments were laughable. If this were an Democratic adminastration, Tucker and his ilk would be screaming bloody murder. Unbeleivable!

I've noticed a lot lately that MSNBC continuously scoops CNN by a long shot which was the case tonight. Wonder why.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should show some leadership and fully investigate this outrage. Hopefully this will finally give them the motivation and courage to impeach this extremely corrupt administration.

What communist country monitors their citizens phone calls, tortures prisoners and controls the media?

Bush's Amerika.

Now he sends his cronies to snoop through Obama's personal files.

But in Bush's Amerika, the prez is above the law. He is a law unto himself, and fuck anybody getting in his way.

after a couple of days, the gop will spin this into needing to know which months obama was in afghanistan getting his al quaida training. i'll bet the msm will have a gop pundit actually saying something like this.

As long as people feel they were lied to, and there was no real investigation not to mention not a single firing...oh, wait...Bill Maher got fired.

It's hard not to rant when I think of what has been done to us and that people feel it's OK to silence those who would demand real answers. Or at least to look at the facts.

But then again this nation has always buried it's collective head in the sand when confronted with real issues like Racial Equality or Ethics or Political Fraud.

Illegal wiretaps, spying, passport prying - we're gonna screw you all over for the next 50 years, only to benefit the American public and bring accountability back into the political process. Do we need to threaten these fuckers to preserve our American ideals? Is that hypocrisy?

Yes, I know we need to be above that and adhere to the rule of law, BUT are the ends worth the means? Is the threat of digging up crap on Repigs worth tarnishing the ideal of being above the corruption and crap?

I'm very conflicted on this. Thoughts?

Matt, remember Sandy Berger? He did some stupid shit and stuffed papers down his clothes. I remember defending him thinking a Dem would never do such a thing, then was embarrassed when it was found he actually did it. No, I don't feel like committing to the Republican playbook. I don't know if souls exist, but if they do I'm not going to risk it in order to slime Rep. Whitey McReligiongood from West Virginia.

Yeah, you're probably right. It's just hard sometimes to be altruistic when you've been screwed so bad like we've been by the Bush administration. Guess that's what should distinguish us from the Repigs.

Not to mention, open themselves wide for the next Democratic Administration. May a thousand fleas infest their broke-back camel.

its true. but considering Obama has Secret Service protection and you don't - that he never heard until now about this is damning as all hell.

by the way, an unsubstantial Clinton connection has been unveiled in regards to this issue - apparently someone made an ambassador by Bill Clinton who resigned between the 2nd and 3rd breach... it would be wrong to push any accusation more than this until more is known...

I really hope this doesnt point back to the Democrats. I demand we find out either way, however goddamn it if the Dems screw themselves.

The test will be how long this story has legs. If it drops out of sight, all of you activists out there need to keep bringing it to the forefront.

The United States of America has blatently lied about Iraq's non-possession of WMDs to use our military and public tax dollars to illegally drop bombs, invade and occupy Iraq and also get away with blatant lying concerning documented torture as seen in Abu-Graib...what is so shocking about this?

Wire-tapping and invasion of privacy seems to go along with the territory.

LA, you are right. McCain seems absent from the media's coverage. Could it be that Big Business wants the Democrats to lose?

diGenova is outraged by the news of this compromise, and he’s known for being a partisan hack who believes he was a victim of the White House slander machine during the Clinton administration

Which leads me to believe this is a setup. It will turn out to be something completely different from what it looks like. I know, call me crazy. But it's too pat; all the pieces fell into place all at once, and all these "outraged" people were ready to get on the phones and go live on TV immediately. It seems too planned to me.

Fascism

An interview with Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, from Feb. 7th, 2007. A full year ago, and very very interesting in light of all the recent controversy. He acknowledges that he holds views that may turn off some voters that Obama might need, such as the Jewish-Americans, because of his opinion that U.S. policies toward Palestinians should change. He says that he even warned Obama of all this!! I wonder why Obama stuck with him?

And I wonder why no one, not a single news outlet, has sought to interview Wright to get his side of the story. Or do a story on what the day to day services at the church were like, not 30 second sound bites of the most inflammatory parts. I think this man is not the person that the media is painting him out to be.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week1028/interview.html

The term fascismo was coined by the Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and Hegelian philosopher Giovanni Gentile.

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”

applications for a consular or related service require other than
routine examination or action; and

Miscellaneous materials, which are documents and/or

It was interesting to see how the other cable news channels handled this

at 9:00pm EDT just after Keith Olbermann handed off to Dan Abrams I turned to CNN Headline news .. nothing, not even in the crawl just Glenn Beck and Ken Blackwell having orgasms over Rev. Wright
CNN had King interviewing Obama, if they had touched on it before I don't know but there was nothing in the crawl. Around 9:30pm EDT they finally put up the "breaking" sign and had something about it in the crawl
Fox sNews had a liberal woman (name escapes me now) in for Colmes, Hannity and Newt going on and on about Re. Wright and the supposed lack of Obama's judgement .. nothing in the crawl and no mention of the passport breach

Wow goon,

Republicans are gaming our blogs pretending to be Hillary supports to say the most obnoxious, insulting and divisive things to Obama supporters OR pretending to be Obama supporters to say the most obnoxious, insulting and divisive things to Hillary supporters - so no matter who our nominee is 1/2 of the party will be so disgusted they won't come out to vote

Someone Has Already Used Obama's Files Against Him

I recall, on several occasions, there were attempts to track down Barack Obama's origin of birth to make a radical Muslim connection. At the time,like everything else, this was blamed on Hillary Clinton. Well guess what: I would not be surprised if this has ties to the Bush administration's surveillance program.

We, the people, could be in the dark about so many things. The resent prostitution charge against Elliot Spitzer also may have roots to the ill-famed wiretapping order. I know I have heard the supporters for the surveillance program say the order would only involve phone calls from overseas. Need I say more?

It's hard to get to a secret when you have made the secret top secret. So far, everything we need to know about this surveillance act is secret. The only thing left to the people is outrage, outrage, and more outrage. We have got to say "we are tired and cannot take anymore of this secret BS.

I am grasping at straws here people

Wasn't DiGenova involved in investigating the Clinton passport breach and didn't he sweep it under the rug?

Is there anyone left on the planet who doesn't know Condi is incompetent?!

We have to remember that if you let a cancer grow in the White House, it metastasizes throughout government.

I recall that Nancy Pelosi removed impeachment from the table.

Once more: By not exercising her constitutional duty to remove the cancer from the White House, Pelosi's inaction is having vile consequences for all Americans. The culture of corruption and filth continues to grow throughout government.

As it now stands, this obscene culture has been nurtured by the republican party, and it may snatch the presidency right out from the dem's hands in '08.

Imagine it! 8 years of republican-inspired death, bloodshed, thievery, perversion, torture, pilfering, butchering of civilians, treason, war profiteering, fascism...and a filthy republican is once more seated in the highest office in 2008.

I am beginning to think it will happen.

MSNBC says Maura Hardy was Clinton's ambassador to Paraguay.
Looks like those "contract workers" found something:

On March 12 " the campaign issued a memo with pointed questions for Mr. Obama on national security, including:

"As voters evaluate you as a potential Commander-in-Chief, do you think it's legitimate for people to be concerned that you have traveled to only one NATO country, on a brief stopover trip in 2005, and have never traveled to Latin America?"

Honestly, if someone were to have asked me, prior to this story's breaking, whether I thought the State Department was so mismanaged and corrupt that folks there were snooping through Obama's private passport records for some insidious purpose, I would have said, "Yeah."

But did you Karen? Really, I know none of us should be surprised at the level people will stoop to, but to dismiss discussion of corruption in government just because none of should be surprised about it (it's inevitable, it's happened before, it will happen again) is simply lame. Should we all just let it slide since it's just an example of a (posthumously) predictable aspect human nature?

This attitude does not help the preservation of democracy and the Republic. Read the 'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich'. Ever heard the quote 'the worst thing a good person can do in the face of evil is nothing'? What you're saying and doing with your comment is actually worse; you're saying no one should be bothered with it since we all should have known it was bound to happen. In making this comment, you're simply shitting (like a baby) on the thoughts of concerned (and hopefully good) people trying to get to the bottom of things (government officials).

I in no way believe your claim to know what you would have said if someone told you such and such might happen, and I'll make a guess that you haven't really said anything about it.

What a bunch creepy, curious folks these Fascist Republicans are.

Ah yes, but beware the Socialist.

to paraphrase darth cheney.....so????

no one on here (and i include myself) will dare take to the streets and demand that the criminals in washington be brought to justice

and if it is found, that the bush administration is in cahoots with clinton or the dnd, then it is incumbent upon all of us to take up arms and begin the revolution

BURN BABY BURN

Once again, I think it demonstrates there are certain "powers that be" that will stop at nothing, including breaking the law and stealing elections. The people who currently have their claws on power are quite determined to keep it that way. Look what they did to Clinton when he managed to wrestle it away from them. What we've seen time and again with this administration is no accountability, no investigation, and certainly no respect for the rule of law. American democracy is a total joke. Whatever became of America being a country of laws, not men?

P.D. @ 19:

I was watching Dan Abrahms until the kids took over the TV. Tucker's comments were laughable. If this were an Democratic adminastration, Tucker and his ilk would be screaming bloody murder. Unbeleivable!

I thought MSNBC "fired" Tucker -- at least took away his show. Didn't they get the memo that he's both stupid & roundly hated? His daddy's got big bucks, so why does he have to continue to draw a paycheck @ MSNBC?
