Report: U.S. Spying On Israel Swept Up Members Of Congress

--snip--

How this is not an impeachable offense is beyond me but the establishment GOP has fewer as much balls vs. Obama as Obama has against anyone except the GOP.

1. Boo hoo. We should be monitoring governments trying to

hijack our political process.

Those subversive Jews want to trick you into thinking that Muslims who say they want to kill you actually want to kill you.

9. Israel isn't an ally like Germany and France are

Big difference between NATO allies, Japan, Korea etc and Israel.

Yeah...none of those are run by JEWS!

25. Israel is Our Worst Excuse for An "Ally"

It deserves to be spied on, as do its shills here in America.

2. Interesting!

Let the squealing begin. Ain't going to be pretty. Do remember LBJ doing this to Nixon over Vietnam.

3. From the original story: "Going dark on Bibi? Of course we wouldn’t do that,”

Reminder that the Israeli government doesn't sit at the big kids table of US allies when the chips are down in foreign policy--only at meetings of pandering congresscritters.

Because they've proven we can't trust them.

4. If our congress critters are doing or saying things they're afraid of being caught at doing,

MAYBE they shouldn't be doing those things! I think it's quite funny that this is being made public. We knew some of them had been colluding with Netanyahu just be his invitation to speak to congress, but I'm sure they didn't really want their collusion made public.

Suffer you creeps. I'll continue to make fun of you the whole time!

6. Same logic as "you only have to worry about government spying on you if ...

You are doing something wrong."

Aren't we better than that by now.

19. In the case of Congress, no they're NOT! Obciously they're always

doing stuff behind closed doors THAT SHOULDN'T BE DONE! Put it in the category of "probable cause" if you like that better.

5. When members of congress conspire with a foriegn power

to sabotage US foreign policy then I think surveillance is not only warranted but necessary for national security.

Then "Baghdad" Jim McDermott, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi should have all been hung for the traitors they are.

14. Israel does not support our president who won by a "landslide". Israel is no

friend of ours on the anti-war left. Far from it, Israel as a political body and nation are trouble-makers and shit-stirrers. As a people, every person of Jewish heritage that I have met ( if I knew if they were anyway..) is very nice, including my brother-in-law.

TRANSLATION: The Jews won't fellate our anti-Semitic princess so they deserve it!

20. I am conflicted

I don't like spying in general. At the same time I don't trust Israel, especially when it comes to the deal with Iran. They have made it crystal clear they want to attack Iran and drag the US into a war. Until the voters there wise up and elect a moderate (which could be awhile), I think we have to be very careful about Israel interfering in a treaty we've signed with another government in good faith.

Sadly I believe there is no right answer.

Yeah, them tricky Jews sure are acting bellicose towards those fanatics that keep demanding the death of all Jews.

Vy are zese Jews alvays schtarting ze troubles?

How is what the DUmmies are defending and implying about Israel any different than the hateful propaganda Hitler spewed during his rallies at the German WW I memorial in Nuremberg in 1940?

Yet they are happy as can be for a secret deal with Iran all the while they are screaming death to America.

The democrat party is as close to a treasonous party as one can get.

They are wholly incapable, by indoctrination and sheer lack of capacity, of seeing the parallels. 
Perfect example:

When are you going to step up and start 'monitoring' the current gov, since loose immigration policy is designed to hi-jack our natural political process?

Asshole.

So that gives Israel and a lot of other governments carte blanche to spy on the US government. Obama henchmen tried to subvert the Israeli election so that Netanyahu would lose.

Obama has actively tried to overthrow and succeeded in a few few cases duly elected governments in arab nations, just to try and put his brothers, the Muslim Brotherhood in power.

Remember when Netanyahu won and Obama pitched a tantrum by releasing info on Israel's nuclear armament?

Somewhat related.

If the Arabs laid down their weapons in the middle east, there would be peace.

If the Israelis laid down their weapons in the middle east, there would be slaughter.

IIRC, a lot of DNC®bucks went to Bibi's opponent, did it not?

Interfering?      You idiots.

DUmmies -

When Nixon spied on his opponents, it was bad. He resigned over it. - Why is it okay for Obama to do the same thing ?

Nixon was an old white guy. Jugears is a half-white, kenyan born muslim, who is a democrat. That's why.

And because liberals are disgusting.
It takes a lot for libs to live up to that reputation.
But libs are up to the overwhelming task of being fully disgusting.
