Naomi Wolf: "U.S. is sleepwalking into becoming a police state ... the president can lock up anyone"

56. I clicked on this thread, hoping against hope,

Hoping that Wolf wasn't going to get thrown under the bus. You see, I remember a time when Wolfe was, justifiably, celebrated and respected around here. But, as we can see, she is now busily being trashed by a certain group of people who think that any criticism of the president is verbotten.

Sad that a woman who has not changed her principles, who has always fought for what was best in this country, who so eloquently educated all of us on the perils of unchecked crony capitalism is now being derided because she hasn't changed, just the letter behind the name of the current president.

Funny, go back in the archives of DU and you will find that some of her most vociferous critics in this thread were raining down praise upon her head back in the Bush years. But then again, that's when those same critics were damning Bush for his extreme invasion of our privacy.
