[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1105207, member: 2189"] [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/mar/10/paul-filibuster-drones-progressives"][COLOR=#ff0000]Glenn Greenwald[/COLOR][/URL] on the Rand Paul filibuster. Since OWS protesters have been accused by "officials" of being terrorists, further echoed by the none thinking public other wise known as suckers. Holder's assurances that no American outside the "combat" narrative framework comes off to me as being very hollow. From the Greenwald piece: Labeling a bunch of impressionable kids at an OWS encampment as terrorists is just flat wrong but then once tagged, it's not a stretch for some sociopathic, megalomaniac, those in power or do I repeat myself, to then ramp up the spin and narrative and these kids could see death from above. Once done, if the Tea Party rallies begin to rattle the wrong cages, what stops the same from taking place with them? Protecting those who say things you don't want to hear is often the means of protecting yourself when you say things they don't want to hear. Don't allow the state to use divide and conquer and then everyone loses. [/QUOTE]
