Right-wing bullshit re WikiLeaks.

Cenk Uygur on the utter hypocrisy of Republicans and their voicebox Fox News regarding WikiLeaks - reminding us also of who REALLY DID endanger the life of an intelligence operative, and what justice was served.



My friends, this is a pivotal event. We are witnessing one of the terrible collisions of our times between our right to know the truth, and the people who - for their own base political purposes - would destroy those who seek to give the truth to us.

Between those who deal in facts, and those who feed us lies.

By the way... Note this post from 6 months ago.

Some other little sound bites:

One indication of the indiscriminate forces being whipped up by the affair surfaced on a website called TOPIX which this week ran the question: Should the Yanks kill Julian Assange? Mr Humbert, from Irvine in California, wrote, ''The US should say to Australia, either you hand this treasonous scum's head on a stick with his ball stuffed in his mouth or we break diplomatic relations.''
Yank Oliver, from Sudbury in Canada, went further: ''That would stand as a good warning for other Aussies not to betray their allies.'' But neither went as far as Dr Zauius from Sudbury in Canada: ''Strike team needs to be dispatched to Sweden. I am wondering why they have not handed him over. Perhaps it is time to examine the Swiss (Right-wing political geography at its best...) in serious detail.''
