Several days ago, I posted a
video showing the stark differences between the positions on massive
surveillance programs by candidate Barack Obama in 2007 and
President Barack Obama in 2013.
And now, since we're nothing if not "fair and balanced", here is a short
video of Sean Hannity of Fox "News" repeatedly lauding massive NSA surveillance
programs during the George W. Bush Administration...and then decrying the very
same programs as "tyranny" and a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution now
that Obama is doing it.
With all due respect to Hannity - and I have none - his over the
top hypocrisy then versus now trumps even Obama's, hands down. Not to mention
the small detail that the programs, as carried out under Bush were, at the time,
illegal, while under Obama they have been made "legal". (Or so we are told.
There is so much secrecy around them, of course, it is virtually impossible for
the public to know either way.) Enjoy!...
