Eric Holder's Letter to Ayn Rand Paul

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Paul is getting an early start on the 2016 presidential race, on the Senate's dime to boot. No other rational explanation that I can see. The wingers are eating it up.

You could have ended your sentence at "...actually read" and the answer would still be the same - Zero.

Even setting aside the "turnabout is fair play" aspect: If people are killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan by people sitting behind a console in Los Angeles, does that not make Los Angeles a war zone with a legitimate military target?

We live in a world where, a decade ago, a deaf and legally blind guy built his own drone and flew it across the Atlantic.

Naturally the orignal source these assjacks used only had part of Holder's letter.
The other part, which explained how unlikely the whole scenario actually was
was never mentioned. Of course the wingnuts passed it on without bothering to
take a look at the entire letter. Big surprise. If they had looked at the whole letter,
then they couldn't have gone off on their usual paranoid rants about being targeted
by the government, blah, blah, blah. Wingnuts=Hilarious. :crazy:

My favorite thing about this nutty site is the proclaimation that it's a conservative
fact-based discussion site. Yeah, right.
