Instead of targeting the CIA or the NSA, WikiLeaks has gone after an organization Democrats actually care about — the Democratic National Committee. <br /><br /><br />So true...AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-56298600488616908072016-07-27T15:39:52.557-04:002016-07-27T15:39:52.557-04:00Unless there is video directly contradicting what ...Unless there is video directly contradicting what a cop has said, judges and juries don't jail cops so nobody was ever going to prison over Freddie Gray's neck magically snapping while in police custody no matter what the prosecuter did.<br /><br />Which isn't to say the prosecuter was doing her honest best.

Check this out from an article titled: &quo...Wow. Check this out from an article titled: "Wikileaks has officially lost the moral high ground". It's hilarious...<br /><br /><i>WikiLeaks is always going to be releasing information some people don’t like. That is the point of them. But lately the timing of and tone surrounding their leaks have felt a little off, and in cases like the DNC leak, more than a little biased. At times, they haven’t looked so much like a group speaking truth to power as an alt-right subreddit, right down to their defense of Milo Yiannopoulos, a (let’s be honest, kind of trollish) writer at Breitbart.</i><br /><br />So they will always release information that offends people, but it's wrong when they release information that makes our side look bad.<br /><br />And it's even worse that they "defend" someone our side likes to demonize. Notice, by the way, that "defend" in this case means "release information that supports the rights/innocence of." Basically, it is wrong to defend someone we've accused of being a witch!!!<br /><br /><br /><i>WikiLeaks has endangered individuals before, but their release of the so-called Erdogan Emails was particularly egregious. The organization said that the infodump would expose the machinations of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately after the attempted coup against him, but instead turned out to be mostly correspondence and personal information from everyday Turkish citizens. Worse, it included the home addresses, phone numbers, party affiliations, and political activity levels of millions of female Turkish voters. That’s irresponsible any time, and disastrous in the week of a coup.</i><br /><br />But hey, it was cool when Wikileaks released DOD files which named all the Iraqis who helped US forces and which included the names and personal information of US personnel. The left didn't care about the danger to them - a much greater danger since they released it in the middle of a terrorist civil war, unlike information that is already known to the guy who is now ruling Turkey with an iron fist.<br /><br /><br /><i>The provenance and truth of the DNC emails looks more solid—but those sketchy ties to Russia make the whole thing seem like a foreign government trying to influence the US presidential election. It’s a little weird (tinfoil hat alert) that Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’ founder, has a show on RT, a Russian government-funded (read: propaganda) television network. And a little off that the DNC leak whodunnit seems to point to a pair of Russian hackers thought to be affiliated with the Russian intelligence agencies FSB and GRU, respectively.</i><br /><br />Sure, the stuff they released was true, but we don't like your motives!! We never cared before about motives until we didn't like your target! Even worse, the people who stole this information may have an agenda! That's just wrong. Granted, so did everyone before this, but hey this time you hit the DNC!<br /><br />Then Wikileaks posted one "anti-semetic" tweet... if you can break the code! That's so wrong! Sure, we love antisemitism on the left, but not by people we don't like! And yes, Wikileaks deleted it because they said it had been misconstrued, but we <i>know</i> what you really meant racists!!<br /><br />Then the article goes into a conspiracy theory about the Russians wanting to use Trump as a Manchurian Candidate and Wikileaks helping that.<br /><br />Finally, the article concludes with the suggestion that Wikileaks can only regain the moral high ground by filtering itself better, i.e. making sure that it no longer targets liberals.<br /><br />It's here is you want to read it: <a href="https://www.wired.com/2016/07/wikileaks-officially-lost-moral-high-ground/" rel="nofollow">==>Liberal Bias<==</a>AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-13269401213144352912016-07-27T13:22:30.783-04:002016-07-27T13:22:30.783-04:00Actually, I just happened to tune into MadTV last ...Actually, I just happened to tune into MadTV last night. FINALLY sketch comedians doing sketches that don't just make Repubs look bad. It was kind of refreshing to see parodies making fun of both candidates and some of Hillary's buddies like Liz Warren. They did a sketch with Wolf Blitzer hosting the Newlywed Game with Trumps and Clintons as contestants...pretty funny.

The first time I saw her we were appropriately enough in a class on political and civil rights. She had big blonde hair, big glasses," Clinton said. "She exuded this sense of strength and self possession that I found magnetic. After the class, I followed her out intending to introduce myself. I got close enough to touch her back but I couldn't do it. Somehow I knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder, that I might be starting something I couldn't stop." <br /><br />Everyone was relieved when Bill finally revealed he was talking about Hillary. <br />Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-18056022366132049832016-07-27T11:22:38.219-04:002016-07-27T11:22:38.219-04:00Ol' Bill was tripping through mammary lane las...Ol' Bill was tripping through mammary lane last night in his head as he recalled his day in the White House...Critchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106908233705403513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-32049966795591024442016-07-26T23:59:26.468-04:002016-07-26T23:59:26.468-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-62599752580845715412016-07-26T23:59:08.653-04:002016-07-26T23:59:08.653-04:00The most remarkable thing about Hillary is how inv...The most remarkable thing about Hillary is how invisible she is as a candidate. It's perfectly understandable, given how incapable she is at selling herself. But a candidate can't hope to win if she's invisible.
