hanging together

In a letter from Big Dan's senator, Bob Casey [D-PA]:

On July 16, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security publicly stated that they are authorized to seize electronic devices and inspect stored documents at border crossings. Not only can they confiscate personal property, but they can also translate and share those documents with other government agencies. As your United States Senator, I believe a balanced approach that ensures both our Nation's security and an individual’s privacy rights is necessary. Nonetheless, the ability to seize property without cause is troubling. Please be assured that I am examining the Department's policy and will have your concerns in mind should any related legislation come before the full Senate for consideration.

Part of Plunger's reply:

THIS IS FUCKING TREASON, YOU CUNTS!

EITHER UNDO WHAT THESE COCKSUCKERS ARE DOING, OR YOU CAN ALL HANG TOGETHER!

Cindy Sheehan weighs in from Denver [where they are holding a convention in gaudy opulence despite the slaughter abroad and despite the starving here]:

Well, of course, it’s just a show. And the most telling thing to me about it was when—AT&T is one of the major sponsors of the Democratic National Convention. Right before Congress recessed for the break, they gave telecoms immunity and the administration immunity from warrantless wiretapping and spying on Americans. That’s a direct breach of the Fourth Amendment, our right to be private in our papers and, you know, possessions.

So, yeah, I think that the Democrats, especially in the past eight years of the Bush administration, have grown closer and closer and closer to the Republicans. They have not been an effective opposition party. And since Obama has become the presumptive nominee, every time the Republicans, like, pressure him on anything, he moves closer to them. And now we see in the polls where he’s tied with McCain, which to me is amazing. McCain, you know, in my opinion, is a doddering old fool. And if Obama put as much daylight between himself and McCain, he would be at least twenty points ahead.

To which my only comment is an echo:

THIS IS FUCKING TREASON, YOU CUNTS!

EITHER UNDO WHAT THESE COCKSUCKERS ARE DOING, OR YOU CAN ALL HANG TOGETHER!
