They're manpulating us right into a "frickin" Tea Bagger veto proof majority

32. Part Of Jim DeMint's "Don't Legislate, Instead Focus On Scandal"

This is an outcrop of DeMint's admonishment. Glenn Greenwald, meet Jonathan Karl -- you're both now carrying DeMint's water. How does that make you feel?

Both of these stories have been around since 2006. The original leak by Tice in 2006 was both more sketchy and more accurate regarding PRISM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)

My first reaction was this was all old news so why is it coming out now as if it is something we didn't already know. My very first reaction was to look in the direction of Jim DeMint and his marching orders. Nothing has come out since to cause me to revise that initial reaction one iota. By the way, the Washington Post has now backtracked in a major way on its original story, implicitly admitting serious errors with their original report. This sounds like a replay of Jonathan Karl and ABC with the doctored emails. The source was unreliable but they went with the story anyway. MSM gets another black eye with a wildly distorted report. Like Rupert Murdoch likes to say, freedom of the press does not mean you have to tell the truth.
