GOP Spin alert re: Bush's illegal wiretapping
Advertisements [?]
An interesting new spin is developing on the issue of Bush's illegal wiretapping. The RW pundits are trying to say that the "liberals" don't want the NSA listening in on terrorists. That way, they get to say things like: "All I can say is thank you Mr. President for protecting us! And shame on those who put the privacy of terrorists ahead of our safety!" :crazy:

That's crap, and they know it. All anybody wants is for Bush to obey the law and work with the FISA Court -- or ask Congress to change the law. We MUST make that clear in letters to the editor, Web postings, calls to talk shows, etc.

The message should include this: "Presidents cannot just disobey laws passed by Congress whenever they choose. And when they do, Congress has an obligation to impeach."

The right-wing is great at framing. But then, it's easier to do when you are willing to lie outright. We must counter this spin with the truth.
