Cornyn to Obama: Are You Collecting Info On Your Political Enemies?

[unpossibles]

1. the irony is so rich and thick you could spread it on toast! nt

[Perky]

6. Ya think!!!! LOL ON the SUrface Corny is right on the principle but in every other way a Hypocrite

[City Lights]

9. Indeed!

And there's so much of it you could store it in tubs.

[global1]

2. Is This What Cornyn Means About Fishy Speech.......

Obama's Response

[kirby]

No, he means this...

[sharp_stick]

3. Does cornball

forget shrubbies "tips" program where you could send info in on dark people skulking around gated communities where "they" didn't belong.

Obama shouldn't bother responding to this shit or just send him an ascii finger.

[Hutzpa]

I would like to see that

letter to Bush when he was tramping all over people preventing them from free
speech and demonstration.

Imagine the gull of this idiot.....

[kirby]

4. Since when is an email private from forwarding?

The law is not on Corynyn side. There are no secrecy of communication laws in the US like in the EU, etc. And dont forget that email sent to the Whitehouse (and probably Congress) are public record and by law must be archived/saved.

[DJ13]

5. Why yes, so dont make the list and you wont have any problems

[Bicoastal]

7. "Also, President Obama, when did you stop beating your wife?"

What a prick.

[Barack_America]

8. Senator Cornyn, remind me again of your position on the Patriot Act?

You were a big supporter of its renewal, iirc.

And didn't you once say the following?

"If anything, false claims about civil liberties violations actually make it harder to monitor real civil liberties issues in the future--for the same reason that eventually no one listened to the boy who cried 'wolf,'"

Your "concern" regarding Free Speech is duly noted. :eyes:

10. Sounds like it's time for another message from the President's desk!

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Senator Cornyn,

You might know me. I'm the guy that the American people voted to put in this big ol' White House over here on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Come on. Barack Obama? The black dude? Really? Not ringin' a bell?

Ah, screw it. I figured you'd remember me because of all that ridiculous bloviating you and your fellow angry white Republican Senators have been doing about me and my healthcare bill. I also ask because you seem to have me confused with the man who was the 37th President of these United States, Richard Nixon. He kept an enemies list, and from what I know it didn't work out too well for him. So that's not what [e-mail] is for.

You and your friends have been doing a lot of lying about me, John, and I'm tired of it. You're telling people that I want to shut down all private insurers. You're telling them that government can't be trusted to run anything. You're telling them that my healthcare plan will ration care and I'll be killing seniors because of it.

So that, in case you were concerned, was what this is for. It's for all those goddamn shameless, bald-faced lies you boys are spreading. I find it particularly hilarious that you're allowed to scream and cry and wail and gnash your teeth and lie like a fucking rug about me, but should my White House attempt to defend itself, you run away screaming like a little bitch with a skinned knee.

So we will continue to fight the disinformation campaign your party has so carefully crafted to defeat health care reform, and we will win--because the American people trust us, not you and your billionaire healthcare CEO donors, you sanctimonious, lying, pasty-faced Republican shitsack.

Kiss my ass,

President Barack "The Islamic Shock" Hussein Superallah Obama

11. ...

:rofl: Thanks for the guffaw! But are you sure Rahm didn't write that? :D

[Arkana]

12. No.

If it was Rahm it would be signed only with an "X" crudely scrawled in blood.

[babylonsister]

14. !

13. "None of your civil liberties matter much after you're dead." Cornyn 2005

He didn't see anything wrong with domestic spying 4 years ago..
