This story by SweetnessandLight.com, the blog, and a guy from the Philadelphia Daily News on April 14th, after having a conversation with Obama, published a story. Here’s the headline:

“Obama AG To Review Potential Bush ‘Crimes.'”

April 14th, 2008, the author Will Bunch.

“Tonight I had an opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question that is on the minds of many Americans, yet rarely rises to the surface in the great ruckus of the 2008 presidential race — and that is whether an Obama administration would seek to prosecute officials of a former Bush administration on the revelations that they greenlighted torture, or for other potential crimes that took place in the White House.

Obama said that as president he would indeed ask his new Attorney General and his deputies to ‘immediately review the information that’s already there’ and determine if an inquiry is warranted — but he also tread carefully on the issue, in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide. He worried that such a probe could be spun as ‘a partisan witch hunt.’ However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality, because ‘nobody is above the law.’

“The question was inspired by a recent report by ABC News, confirmed by the Associated Press, that high-level officials including Vice President Dick Cheney and former Cabinet secretaries Colin Powell, John Ashcroft and Donald Rumsfeld, among others, met in the White House and discussed the use of waterboarding and other torture techniques on terrorism suspects. I mentioned the report in my question, and said ‘I know you’ve talked about reconciliation and moving on, but there’s also the issue of justice, and a lot of people — certainly around the world and certainly within this country — feel that crimes were possibly committed’ regarding torture, rendition, and illegal wiretapping. I wanted to know how whether his Justice Department ‘would aggressively go after and investigate whether crimes have been committed.'”

And Obama essentially said, “Yeah, I’m going to have my AG review it.”
Now, you’ve heard the term peaceful transfer of power, one of the things that makes our country great.

This is the kind of thing that used to happen, probably still does, with Vlad Putin and the gang, but this happened in the Soviet Union, this happened in totalitarian dictator — you criminalize the policies of your political opponents.

But this would be unprecedented, here.

After the administration’s left office, to pursue an investigation that might lead to criminal indictments for war crimes and other things. We used to do that to the Nazis. We did do that to the Nazis, the Nuremberg Trials and so forth.

This is who today’s modern liberals are.

Now, Obama’s got this wacko reporter for the Philadelphia Daily News who’s obviously not a reporter. He is a leftist who happens to have secured a job in journalism, and he’s got an agenda, and the agenda is right out of the cliched story line of the Media… that we are a murderous, raping, torturing nation and that Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Powell have to pay.

This is all about creating the notion in as many people’s minds that our country is criminal, is in a constant state of decline, and we are not worth our reputation as the world’s greatest superpower.

This is about leftists who despise this country or dislike it to one degree or another and want this country punished. They have a visceral, irrational hatred for Bush and his buddies in the administration.

And for Obama — I’m sure he’s just flitting along here, he’s worried about the Pennsylvania primaries, campaign, “Oh, yeah, I’ll look into that. I’ve already got my attorney general –” Well, what attorney general, sir?

This is who the modern leftists are, ladies and gentlemen, and they have taken over the Democrat Party.

The purpose for doing something like this would not be just to embarrass and harm Bush. This would be a direct assault on the United States and its government.

And you talk about we need to improve our reputation in the world. Look at how they would do it. By finding the US guilty at every opportunity of whatever baseless, phony charges that they would make.

This is Stalinist. If you’ve ever wondered what the definition of is Stalinist, this would fit it.
