Today, as a result, former Vice President DICK CHENEY _PREDICTABLY_ ACCUSED the Obama administration of EXACTLY what Bush, Rove & Cheney did: Cheney is ACCUSING the Obama administration of "POLITICIZING the Justice Department," for Attorney General Holder running _the most preliminary_ of TORTURE investigations.
And, EQUALLY PREDICTABLY, on tonight's MSNBC "HARDBALL" news show with Chris Mathews, Mathews discussed
"a CLIMATE THAT COULD LEAD TO ASSASSINATION"
that HAS BEEN WHIPPED-UP by the radical Right-Wing in the 8 months since Barack Obama has been president.

There is a simple reason for this, and it is NOT "the need to look forward" -
RAHM EMANUEL, along with
- Senator JOE LIEBERRMAN, and with
- PAUL WOLFOWITZ (Bush's Deputy Secretary of War),
- JOSH BOLTON (Bush's final Chief of Staff),
- I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby (Vice President Cheney's first Chief of Staff, which is to say HEAD LEGAL ADVISOR and CONSTITUTION-GUTTING sidekick),
- Michael Chertoff (Bush Homeland Security Director),
- Michael Mukasey (Bush's final Attorney General, which is to say ABUSE-of-Powers ENABLER & Purge-gate prosecutions, ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE & TORTURE WHITEWASHER),
- ALL are PRO-WAR LIKUDNIK Neo-Cons,
- and Rahm Emanuel - and ALL THE OTHER Pro-War Likudniks in the Democrat Party
(including JANE HARMAN, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, Joe Lieberman, and others understand that...
...TO PROSECUTE the BUSH ADMINISTRATION for CRIMES against the US Constitution, and CRIMES against the American people
(much less CRIMES of MURDER, RAPE, TORTURE, and other atrocities committed against innocent Afghan sheepherders caught up in the CIA's "$5,000 bounty to any allied warlord for ANY 'terrorist' suspect")...
...is to UNDERCUT the JUSTIFICATIONS, RATIONALIZATIONS, and PROSECUTION of the US wars in Iraq & Afghanistan -
- WARS which the so-called "DEMOCRAT" LIKUDNIKS MOST CERTAINLY SUPPORT.
The NEO-CONS, whether Republicans like Wolfowitz, Libby, Bolton, Perle, Feith, Chertoff, Mukasey, or "DEMOCRATS" like LIEBERMAN, FEINSTEIN, HARMAN, and Emanuel, have WORKED MIGHTILY for the past two DECADES to get the Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz-PNAC wars going in the Mideast, and they are TERRIFIED that their WHOLE CAN OF WORMS will be spilled, should the "Democrats" in Obama White House & Congress actually DEFEND the US CONSTITUTION by INVESTIGATING the MASSIVE LIES-to-WAR,
the MASSIVE ABUSES OF POWER (including STOLEN ELECTIONS), and the blatant TORTURE of prisoners, often resulting in death, under EXPLICIT ORDERS from the Bush-Cheney White House.
Here's the video link for of the March 2007 AIPAC (ISRAEL-America lobby) annual conference in Washington DC... in which AIPAC pooh-bahs and general members alike are STANDING and CHEERING then Vice President Cheney's most bombastic "NUKE IRAN NOW!" speech - the 2006 American midterm elections OUSTING war-mongering Republicans from the House and Senate be damned, the video of AIPAC members LOUDLY CHEERING VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY, PROUDLY posted at AIPAC's OWN WEBSITE !
http://www.aipac.org/pc2007video/Speeches/Cheney/index.html
CLEARLY, AIPAC members are DICK CHENEY's MOST ARDENT SUPPORTERS...
-CLEARLY, AIPAC lobby members are DICK CHENEY's MOST ARDENT SUPPORTERS
- CLEARLY, AIPAC lobby members are DICK CHENEY's MOST ARDENT SUPPORTERS
- CLEARLY, AIPAC lobby members are DICK CHENEY's MOST ARDENT SUPPORTERS
note: as political observers well know, even Cheney's so-called "base" of Right-Wing, Southern, (American) & Texas OIL MEN
(actually, Cheney is far more of a DC BIG-GOVERNMENT CORPORATE-WELFARE SOCIALISM bureaucrat than he is a "free market entrepeneur", as Rolling Stone examined several years ago)
...are FAR LESS Arabophobic (Arab-hating), that is far less INHERENTLY SUPPORTIVE of the OPEN-ENDED "WAR ON TERROR" - WAR ON MUSLIM NATIONS as Cheney & the Likudniks see it - than the AIPAC NeoCons who SATURATED the Bush-Cheney White House (some prominent members named above) and who CHEERED & ENABLED Cheney as he talked about EXPANDING the Bush adminstration's WARS IN THE MIDEAST to YET ANOTHER COUNTRY (Iran).
For those who have an ounce of objectivity, DICK CHENEY's ABILITY to SHOUT that the OBAMA administration is POLITICIZING the Justice Department - when THAT is EXACTLY what Cheney & Bush did - comes as NO surprise.
Cheney has been ENABLED in his RIGHT-WING INCITING RHETORIC - RHETORIC that UNMISTAKEABLY INCITES GUN-TOTING "militia" TIMMY McVEIGHT DOMESTIC TERRORIST wannabees- JUST as VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY was ENCOURAGED in his ASSAULT ON THE US CONSTITUTION by his LIKUDNIK ENABLERS, Libby, Mukasey, Chertoff, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Perle, Feith, (et al) - ALL HIGHLY PLACED IN THE US GOVERNMENT during the Bush-Cheney administration; much less has Cheney's RELENTLESS WARMONGERING, and his ASSAULT on the US Constitution and civil society BEEN ENABLED by the "US WARS IN MIDEAST FOREVER" Likudniks who infest the US corporate media, including the likes of BILL KRISTOL, Charles KRAUTHAMMER, Howard KURTZ, Don KAGAN, BILL SAFIRE, David BROOKS, David IGNATIUS, and Arthur SULZBERGER, (etc.), much less the LIKUDNIK MILLIONAIRE FINANCIERS like SAM FOX (2004 funder of the "Swift Boat Liars Against Kerry"), Sheldon Adelson, and an entire host of PRO-WAR, ANTI-CONSTITUTION, TAX-CUTS FOR RICH, SLASH American wages & OUTSOURCE American jobs ANTI-AMERICAN "Israel-first" LIKUDNIKS in Big Finance tossing millions around to subvert a genuine opposition party in American politics.
IN CONCERT with the above blatantly Republican LIKUDNIKS, RAHM EMANUEL and the (current) GOLDMAN-SACHS White House (the Obama White House) are NOW HELPING TO COVER UP and WHITEWASH the CRIMES of the previous administration, and ALLOWING the RADICAL RIGHT to set the terms of debate for Health Care reform & Financial bailouts,
- ALL HAVE EMPOWERED the GUN-NUTS and potential DOMESTIC TERRORISTS,
"pistol- and rifle-packing citizens showed up near several public appearances by President Barack Obama"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32492783/ns/us_news-life/
- and -
"Right-Wing WWII vet COMPARES Obama TO HITLER - talks about BRINGING A GUN TO WASHINGTON, IF ENOUGH of you WILL SUPPORT ME" -
This RIGHT WING anti-health-care reform INSANITY (coming from people WHO ARE PROBABLY ON SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE, if not VA & other "SOCIALIST" government/veteran's benefit programs!),
and potential, LOOMING DOMESTIC TERRORISM, IS MADE POSSIBLE by the NEO-CON LIKUDNIK TAKEOVER of the "Democrat" Party, the Likudnik Neo-Cons REFUSING to HIGHLIGHT JUST HOW INSANE the Right-Wing wave of HATE really is!!
