Dennis Miller Speaks Truth To Rosie

The View is probably the dumbest show on television, but it gets a lot of attention the blogosphere because...well...Rosie and the rest of the kooked out liberals on that show (with the exception of the lovely Mrs. Hasselbeck) say a lot of dumb things.

So it’s nice when someone like Dennis Miller, a comedian but also a fairly smart guy, goes on the show and really sticks it to Rosie and her gang.

Comments

Do the lefties ever give an example of a real example of someone who was actually wrongfully hurt by the patriot act or the wiretapping?

And if they give an example what is the the real story behind that.

IF Hillary is Clinton next? That will be a sad day for all of us…

Zsa Zsa on March 1, 2007 at 03:02 pm

Sorry! I was in such a state of dismay about the idea of Hillary ever being President it shook me up!

Zsa Zsa on March 1, 2007 at 03:04 pm

I got caught up in National Security screening before it was cool I guess. It was OK for FBI and NSA to run me through the wringer simply because of the documents,books, and maps I was perusing at the National Archives and Georgetown University Lib Annex and the phone calls to Taiwan, China, and Japan. And yet it is evil and wrong to do less than that to people with open connections to terrorist organizations and publicly stated sympathies with said terrorist organizations. Who’d a thunk it?

The View briefly agreed with and then totally glased over the fact that in a time such as this, unity is paramount.

If it were opposite and a conservative show stated that supporting W was unimportant, the msm would have extracted that singular quote and blared it all over the news like Greenspan stating that a recession ‘might’ be possible by the end of 2007 sending the msm into a frenzy.

Thanks for the link WOOF

electnixon on March 1, 2007 at 04:18 pm

Here’s a link:

DOJ has said that post-PATRIOT, it has sought and obtained library records.

What is left in the air is whether the Patriot Act was needed to obtain those records.  That was Miller’s point, valid or otherwise.  If he’s right, then in this instance at least, one cannot point to the Patriot Act as eroding civil liberties.  (Depending on your perspective, they were already eroded.)

And here’s a little back story, which I’m sure that WOOF, engaged in his usual demagoguery, would never try to fill in:

The provision that has attracted the most attention is probably section 215 of the PATRIOT Act. It is commonly referred to as the library records provision, but in fact it ought to be called the business records provision. Suffice it to say, it is a sweeping one.  This provision gives law enforcement access to all types of information from video rentals and gun purchases to tax and medical records. In a nutshell, here is how it works.

Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, FISA--which I have referred to several times already--it is possible for FBI agents to go to a judge and request a secret warrant to obtain business records. The person to whom the records pertain is not informed. This means that if the FBI serves a FISA warrant on a bank or hospital, the bank president or hospital director would know about it, but the customers or patients whose records had been seized would know nothing at all.

Before the PATRIOT Act, if the FBI wanted to get one of these warrants, they had to show a judge specific and articulable facts that the records pertained to a terrorist or a spy. The PATRIOT Act lowered the standard, so now the FBI simply has to assert that the records are, in their view, relevant to a terrorism inquiry.

Section 215 of the Patriot Act was very questionable on a number of grounds in terms of the powers it granted intelligence agencies.  I actually agree with Rosie on that one.  However, these powers have been limited by later resolutions, see the Wiki article for a reasonably unbiased view on it.

Whistler, I’m not defending or attacking anybody on this one.  I am unaware of any abuses, and I think the DOJ has been very cautious in reporting any application of the Patriot Act.  FISA provided them with most of the power they really needed, so perhaps S215 was too overarching in that respect.

Anyway, here’s a fixed version of the link. The link notes that DOJ reported zero uses of section 215 to that date at least.  But WOOF is right that library records have been accessed, though probably under the original authority of FISA.

Carrick on March 1, 2007 at 04:54 pm

2Hotel9, FISA has been around in one form or another since 1979.  They had to establish something approaching probable cause.  How they got that (maybe from the National Archives records?) is another question.

Carrick on March 1, 2007 at 04:56 pm

Thanks Carrick.  I’ve read through some of that and I’ll try to finish up about that.

For all of the hue and cry by the left on the Patriot Act they sure don’t come up with examples of where it’s been applied unfairly.

TW, that’s exactly correct.  There aren’t any notable examples of abuses, though the potential (for a while) existed for such.

Most abuses of powers, I’ve noticed, tend to be extralegal in any case.  If somebody’s really interested in trampling on your rights, I doubt they’re going to consult a lawyer before they get started.

2H9, given what you were researching, I’d suppose that they were using on the envelope intelligence gathering, and noticed a pattern that they wanted an explanation for.

The fact they talked to you when they did suggests to me they didn’t take it very seriously, but mainly wanted to clear it off their case list.  If they were really serious about you, they would have invested a lot more dollars in back story before they got around to talking to you.  Or at least that’s my understanding of how these investigations work.

There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today”

Whistler,

Come to think of it, I believe Congress twice denied Mr. Clinton an AUF for the Kosovo adventure.  Furthermore, If it were not for Kosovo, we might not have suffered the 9-11 attack.

Remember, Murtha told the Clinton White House there would there would be no appropriation for Kosovo unless and until all US forces were withdrawn from Somalia… an action acknowledged by no less an authority on Islamist terrorist than UBL in his ABC interview as having given AQ the “encouragement” for further attacks against US targets because the US was a “paper tiger.”

2H9-er,

Was no Patriot Act and my library records got checked. How the fuck is that right?

Yes, well, in that respect, I agree with Carrick’s statement that extra-legal (that means illegal, not very, very legal) domestic surveillance has been conducted by the U.S. government (ECHELON, MAGIC LANTERN, NSA_KEY, CARNIVORE, etc., etc...) for quite sometime. 

The Leftists were quiet as mice when the Klinton administration was doing it, AlGore leading the charge to coordinate with computer, internet and telecom manufacturers and providers to make sure any encryption sold to citizens (they called us civilians) could be cracked, every CPU could be ID’d, and every e-mail could be tracked (see hash).

It’s just that the Left don’t like it when their front organizations, like the Institute for Policy Studies (who were ID’d as consorting with known KGB agents and did the Soviets the courtesy of publishing the location of every nuclear warhead they could possibly find out in the form of a handy map book) gets outed, or get tracked by the FBI’s COINTELPRO program.

THAT’s when they don’t like domestic surveillance.

I just don’t like it when it’s it’s done in complete derogation of the law and there is no more justification than, ‘well, we’re the government and who knows what we’ll find out. “

It needs to be targeted, narrowly tailored, tightly controlled and focused on likely targets (PC anti- profiling be damned)

Move_zig, there are some good points there. Especially the last part “It needs to be targeted, narrowly tailored, tightly controlled and focused on likely targets.”

The intel people say that in many respects the Patriot Act closed loopholes, and increased the reporting requirements for intel operations.  So in that respect, it is actually a roll-back from the cowboy days of the Clinton era (e.g., Waco, Elian Gonzales, witness tampering, warrantless search and seizure...).  We don’t see that many pictures like this today:

That says something about progress of sorts being made.

Carrick on March 1, 2007 at 09:50 pm

As I remember, the primary reason we were told about going into Kosovo was to prevent “ethnic cleansing”, which I believe was exactly what Saddam was doing in Iraq, but a lot more of it than Milosevic ever did, if indeed he was doing that.  I also remember reports of finding(from 30,000 ft) huge mass graves. These reports were used to persuade the American people to approve of Clinton’s invasion of the area, but when we got boots on the ground, no mass graves were ever found that were anywhere near what the Administration claimed.  Seems Clinton lied us into war.
Even though the reasoning was similar(with many more reasons to go into Iraq than Kosovo), the MSM coverage has been completely different.  Wonder why?  BDS, maybe?

From Stratfor:

Pakistani security forces have detained a high-ranking Taliban leader in Quetta, Reuters reported March 1, citing a senior Pakistani official and Taliban sources. Mullah Obaidullah Akhund is the first senior Taliban leader caught by Pakistan since the militia was driven out of Afghanistan in 2001.

Akhund, the most senior Taliban leader captured to date, was the former Defense Minister and third in command prior to the toppling of the Taliban government by the US.

Apparently, the warnings issued by Vice President Dick Cheney this week to Pakistani President Musharef that the US had run out of patience, have paid off.

We are suppose to understand and compromise and accomodate and make concessions and then they will see our good intentions and then they will be our freinds.. blah blah blah....

Fascism is an economic/political system as opposed to Communism and Capitalism.

In Communism or Socialism the state owns everything.  This is a very inefficient system as when everybody owns something nobody does.  Nobody has an incentive to maintain or reap the rewards from property.

In Fascism individuals may own private property, but the government has unlimited ability to direct that private property.  Fascism would be a better system than Communism because the owners of the property have an interest in maintaining and benefiting from that property.

In Capitalism the property is owned by the individual and people are free to use that property as they wish.


[W]hat you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Gents,

Sorry, I’ve been away—very busy week, and it’s still not over.

Clinton interceded on the wrong side at Kosovo.  Moreover, I can see no legal justification for intervening in Kosovo—there was no vital US interest at stake and none of our allies was attacked.  It was an attack, not on a separatist movement, but on an established government. While not lilly-white, there was nothing there legally that justified our intervention on either side.

Those Leftists who ached for the victims of Dafur, the victims in Rwanda, the old pottery in Iraq and the Albanian Kosovars were are the same time the ones never to pick up a rifle or stand a post.  Maybe they should have formed a Brigade of Volunteers, like the did during the Spanish Civil War, rather than ask some fresh-faced American boy to die for their nuanced feelings of internationalist guilt.

It was the KLA/UCK side that we intervened on, one that has been involved with Bin Laden, drug smuggling, forced sex slavery, rape and murder.  I wonder if ABLE DANGER made any ties to Islamic terrorism to that region and our part in the conflict, and the fact that Clinton could have taken out an Islamic figurehead or two, but chose not to. 

The answer may be blowing in the wind ... after having been stuffed down Sandy Burglar’s socks and pants.

At any rate, the American public, I am certain, were never given the true scoop as to what was taking place there, and for some reason, digging up the truth in that region evokes a concert of yawns.

Besides, Zsa Zsa needs an avatar…

If you look to Rosie and the “View” to develope an opinion on politics, then you are already an idiot anyway.

So what’s the point of a debate?

When did Rosie earn a degree in anything significant?

Once again you are wrong.
