Actually, Howard Dean, and the people who have stood with him started this. In 2003 he called it the “Hundred Dollar Revolution.” We also started the “50 State Strategy” “Political Blogging” “Political Social Networking,” “Rapid Response,” “Grassroots out of state calling,”

I know we’re in the heat of the PA primary here, but the Obama movement is standing on the foundation laid by Deaniacs.

There is absolutely nothing admirable about him. His actions in withdrawing and rewriting memos were almost certainly motivated by fear of having his own, Comey’s and other’s asses on the ethical firing line by way of the FISC, NOT out of their ethical and moral worthiness. The story he is peddling now is almost certainly complete revisionist history. Furhtermore he wrote his superceding documents, his book and has otherwise done everything in his power to exculpate his predecessors. He can go straight to hell with the rest of them.</p> Captain Jack “Law of the Sea” Goldsmith is a worthless puke just like the rest of them. There is absolutely nothing admirable about him.

Given how hard the Republicans went after Clinton over everything, it’s interesting that they left him alone on this. So either they didn’t know about the renditions, or they wanted *their* president to have a free hand.</p> That could very well be.
