"Conservatives Are Now Flipping Out At John McCain And Lindsay Graham"

61. "fooled in to buying it" <--hardly

I grant that it was a very embarrassing day for every Democrat in DC,
except for Sen Ron Wyden (OR) who stood with Rand Paul's filibuster.

Dems were put in the awkward position of having to oppose a WH
nominee by raising civil liberties questions re: Brennan's nomination,
or pretending they simply don't care that the Bush Crime Family bag-
man Brennan is being now promoted to run the CIA on their watch.

Do you also take Sen Ron Wyden to be a "fool" for agreeing it may be a
good thing to press for answers around civil liberties questions raised
by Brennan's nomination? Sen. Wyden made me proud to be an Oregonian.

It is simply stunning to me how indignant and outraged some on DU
become, at the mere suggestion that A LIBERTARIAN (eeek!!) got one
thing right, civil liberties be damned.

Face it: the Democrats in this instance are on the wrong side of history,
by allowing Brennan's nomination to move forward, all the while seeming not
to notice that someone who should be in prison for war crimes is instead
being foisted upon the nation as their CIA chief. Unbelievable, except
that this IS what's happening, sadly.
