In reply to the discussion: Thank You Bernie Sanders: 'The Devil Will Be In The Details' .. 'I Do Not Agree With The President' [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)They will try to spin, divert, and distort,
split very fine hairs,
and parse out what the meaning of the word "overall" is.
"I made a mistake" is NOT something that crowd ever says.
Incidentally, that is also Conservative Rule #1: Never admit you are wrong.

I went and reviewed the clip.
Bernie Sanders does indeed say,
[font size=3]"I don't agree with the overall position of the President."[/font]
That in NO WAY changes the substance of your OP.
In fact, it VALIDATES it.
Bernie also says:
"The current USA surveillance program represents a clear violation of the 4th Amendment ban on unreasonable searches"
and
(It is) "clearly a violation of the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution,
and THAT has to end."
So Bernie Sanders not only agrees with you and me,
[font size =3]but also agrees with Rand Paul!!![/font]
'While I am encouraged the President is addressing the NSA spying program because of pressure from Congress and the American people, I am disappointed in the details. The 4th Amendment requires an individualized warrant based on probable cause before the government can search phone records and e-mails' - via @NBCNews

...and NO. I don't expect any kind of retraction or Mea Culpa for the unwarranted, baseless attacks in this thread:

It really is a matter of having an internal Moral Compass.
Some have it,
some don't.
If it was WRONG in 2006,
It is STILL WRONG today.
Case closed.
