video
» 37 comments

This morning on Meet the Press, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell called Julian Assange a “high tech terrorist” for his role in publicly releasing over 250,000 US diplomatic cables.

“I think the man is a high tech terrorist…he’s done enormous damage to our country and to our relationships with our allies around the world, and he should be prosecuted,” McConnell said.

    Assange is the scum of the Earth. Even worse than RRK and SaraP and Elaine B.

    Clearly our corrupt, inefficient, tyrannical, and necessarily evil government should have as many secrets as it wants.

    No, Assange is not a terrorist, jackass. The word does not mean “people who really piss us off”. Stop using it as if it does. Assange is a POS, but not a terrorist.

    Mitch McConnell is a low tech douchebag

  • CosmosDan

    Watched him this morning and kept getting more pissed off as he spouted his political bullshit.

    Well yeah, we need to bring down the deficit while permanently extending tax cuts for millionaires, even if they are small businesses in name only.

    When it comes to sacrificing for the country you love, why can’t we expect the rich to to go from really rich, to a mere incredibly well off. Why do we so readily accept talking points that don’t match reality?

  • murphy0071

    As if Sen. McConnell is not a terrorist. He is merely diverting attention from his high jinx and lies and blaming everything on Assange. Sen. McConnell is an extremely hateful person who cares only about his wealthy friends and corporate sponsors. He and others like him will not destroy the will of the people by merely lying about what most American’s need to survive and it is not a continued tax cut for the rich put in place by a war criminal who decided to borrow ever cent for his criminal wars from the Chinese. When China calls in the markers, just where will the Republicans be? Lying and telling the American people the money was borrowed by the Democrats. If they can’t lie their lips aren’t moving.

    And McConell,is a nightmare for the Workingman and those who are struggling. I think those Americans would prefer Asagne to McConnel who answers to special interests.

    I love how the libs have embraced Assange. And what was one of his big revelations? That Gaddafi liked stacked blonds.

    Who doesn’t?

    And the Arab states hate Persian Iran? Stop the presses- who knew??

    LOL

    The libs haven’t embraced him. If he broke the law he should be prosecuted but all this trumped up chickenshit rape bullshit is the reason we need a Wikileaks in the first place.

    Does the man look like a rapist?

    Ok, don’t answer that

  • BFD

    I dunno about you guys but I appreciate knowing what a douchebag Karzai really is.

    If Wikileaks helps us get out of Afghanistan then it will have done some good.

    Shouldn’t your awesome President be doing that, and not some Australian narcissist? But no, he’s murdering innocent Pakistani children with abandon.

    …And Senator Mitch McConnell is an old, moss-backed, inside-the-beltway, pork-barreller of a RINO who has been in Washington ‘way too long… He is part of the problem, not of the solution. Make him go bye-bye in 2012 along with the rest of the remaining RINOs.

  • Nachi

    Julian is quite a bit of a hero. In the context of the cheap way “hero” is used these days by the Murcuhn masses, Julian stants out as a real positive example.

    Don’t you think Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle?

    And as usual the right wing thinks it is actually going to censure wikileaks by threatening the servers but they still don’t realize what they are dealing with. There are already hundreds of mirror sites going up and it will continue. And if they piss off the hackers bad enough they could just take the whole “series of the internets tubes” down

    Does anyone here think Mitch McConnell even knows how to turn on a computer? Let alone understand the difference between third-party publishing of information and being the party who downloaded the info in the first place?

    If you don’t like it here, maybe you should try Somalia–that bastion of freedom–or maybe the Sudan. Delta is ready when you are dimwit.

    EZ to call the Aussie a traitor, but let’s don’t kill the messenger.
    An American soldier stole the data.
    If you don’t appreciate transparency in government, send the soldier whistleblower to Gitmo.
