Video update: ABC evening news hit piece on Rand Paul's run-in with TSA

[jct74]

they made him out to be some kind of elitist jackass asking for special privileges as a senator. Very infuriating, Rand opposes TSA gropings for everybody, not just US senators. I don't even think they mentioned the fact that he is a vocal critic of the TSA. Video should be up on their site later tonight.


update: here's the video. make sure you give it a thumbs down.

Oh mainstream media...

The token liberals are already repeating the elitist "above the rules" things in various comments sections

Funny how they support war and violation of civil liberties when their guy is in charge

That's the way they're gonna spin it, until they have Joe Zigzpaq screaming at his TV, "what makes him so special?! if my 3 year old's gotta get felt up, so does he!" Never mind that Joe shouldn't let his 3 year old get felt up either.

In his interview with Wolf, Rand specifically said he wasn't asking for special privileges due to his position.

did the TSA folks even know who he was?

Nancy Pelosi doesn't have to get groped before she goes on a flight. These leftists would scream louder than goosed Grandmas if their precious Nancy had to be inconvenienced in the slightest.

She had that special jet just for herself when she was speaker - does she still have that or did it get passed to tan man Boner?

The bigger point here is that the machine went off for nothing, then it didn't find anything on the rescan. Sen. Paul showed the TSA the leg in question and nothing was there, so the question is why did the machine go off in the first place?

[Cyberbrain]

Security experts say not only would repeat scans hold up the line, they would allow bombers to hide, or worse, activate a device.

BAHAHAHAHA! wait....wait... BAHAHAHAHAH!

WTF! Um have these guys been to an airport? The scanners already create a massive line to "activate a device" in.



And reacting to controversies over pat-downs on the very young...the government is allowing their kids, under 12, to keep their shoes on.
Oh thank God, because that's the part of the pat-down I have the biggest issue with, when they make her take her shoes off... :rolleyes:

[kuckfeynes]

Ugh, gotta stop watching videos like that. The fact that people call that blatant social engineering "news" is very disheartening.

[anaconda]

LOL piece closes by quoting TSA as saying "some rules are not about to change.." WTF? The Congress can change the rules anytime they want. Where do they get off acting like they are the rule makers?

I mentioned that Diane Sawyer was a globalist Council On Foreign Relations puppet and I believe they censored my comment. Unless there's a lengthy approval period..

UPDATE: my comment was posted.
