Hewitt’s Scream
Tweet
The author of Blog!
The Democrats cannot be seen to say anything against the opinion because of Kosputin and his minions. The party of Lamont is unhinged, and Judge Taylor’s opinion is now a new icon of the movement.
We kick puppies, too!

I don’t understand why anyone takes Hugh Hewitt seriously. He’s just another 2nd tier wannabe wingnut radio star, with the likes of Michael Smerconich and Mike Gallagher. His views don’t even matter to his own (small)audience, why should they matter to us?
I’m not sure what’s going to happen at the next appellate level, but this one is going to the Supreme Court, and I actually think our chances are pretty good there.
Scalia and Kennedy are both jealously protective of the power of the courts. Their vanity may be our salvation.
You could probably list some choice Hewitt quotes here to help see how reliable his opinions are.
Kosputin! That’s completely brilliant!
Just don’t start eating children, okay? That’s exclusively a Republican thing.
Well I’ll give him this, “Kosputin” certainly rolls off the tongue better than “Kosola”. Ol’ perky nipples may be a raving wingnut lunatic know-nothing, but he can come up with a cute phrase.
Why did you show me that picture? Why did you destroy my soul?
What do you mean we kick puppies?
We eat puppies. Raw!
aa
I, for one, enjoy the flavor of a well-kicked puppy over one that has not been properly tenderized first.
Mmmm, puppy….
Actually Hewitt (and a lot of other conservatives) make an interesting point: Judge Taylor’s ruling ordered the immediate, cold-turkey termination of the program, yet Democrat leadership in Congress (as well as Oliver) always argued that the program is justified and permissible — just as long as warrants are issued.
Yet Democrat leaders were celebrating Judge Taylor’s ruling, chosing to focus on the “Bush is a criminal, let’s IMPEACH!!!” hysteria of the Kos kooks, rather than expressing concern that the ruling really wasn’t in tune with their official position supporting warranted surveillance.
This is just one more example of the looming scism within the Democratic party that pits moderate/centrist Democrats (survey, but with a warrant) against the loony hard-left fringe of the party (terminate all surveillance and impeach the President). It should be an interesting election season.
“Taylor’s ruling ordered the immediate, cold-turkey termination of the program, yet Democrat leadership in Congress (as well as Oliver) always argued that the program is justified and permissible — just as long as warrants are issued.”
Good job, Mike.
You only overlooked the most relevant point of all.
Judge Taylor’s ruling puts a stop to the program that authorizes wiretaps without warrants!
Now, tell us again how that portends a big split?
For conservative misdirectors who are hard of hearing:
IT ISN’T THE WIRETAPS, WHICH ARE A COMMON POLICE PRACTICE. IT’S THE FACT THAT NO WARRANTS WERE EVER ISSUED, EVEN “AFTER THE FACT” AS THE LAW PERMITS.
THE FOURTH AMENDMENT SAYS A WARRANT MUST BE ISSUED, BASED UPON PROBABLE CAUSE, IN ORDER FOR A SEARCH TO BE LEGAL.
Oh wait.
You probably won’t take my word for it, will you?
Friday’s Washington Post:
Oh, but the liberal MSM probably distorted the facts, yes?
From the very first sentence in Judge Taylor’s decision…
In short words, Judge Taylor stopped the warrantless snooping.
Now who is it that you and Hugh are imagining want to “terminate all surveillance”?
This is just one more example of the looming scism within the Republican party that pits moderate/centrist Republicans(read and understnd the facts) against the loony hard-right fringe of the party (believe anything you’re told by people like Hugh Hewitt).
You see Mike, as Quaker points out, it is Hewitt who is lying to you. It is Hewitt and his ilk who distort and deceive to achieve their ideological ends. Hewitt wrote:
But that isn’t what the Judge decided at all. Not by a long shot. Hewitt leaves out the two most important points. The first being that warrants are only needed when an American citizen is involved in the wiretapping. And second, the NSA can wiretap whoever it wants, wherever they want if they get a warrant, a fact that the judge had absolutely no problem with at all. Again, as Quaker points out, all she did was call a halt to the illegal and unconstitutional practive of eavesdropping on Americans without a warrant. And you wonder why Democrats haven’t spoken out against it? Because they believe in the rule of the law and the Constitution, idiot.
They real question here is whether or not this latest revelation that Hewitt is lying right to your face will make any difference at all to you. Will you go on blindly accepting the bullshit he spews or are you going to take this as a lesson to start thinking for yourself?
…”this latest revelation that Hewitt is lying…”
Oh, dear, dear, dear.
There’s that troubling word again, frame. You can’t prove that Mr. Hewitt is lying, can you? He might simply be mistaken. Or maybe he just clean forgot about Amendments One, Four, and Five.
Really, frame. Such incivility.
Oh, ya, uh, sorry.
