the difference...
i just learned that republican staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee had broken into the computer files of Democrats over a year-long period. they accessed strategic memos to help them push bush's right-wing extremist judicial nominees, the contents of which have appeared in the editorial pages of the wall street journal and the washington times. the dnc requests we take action now by signing a petition demanding the culprits take responsibility for their ethical breach. is that all it is? so no laws are broken when spying and breaking into computers and then using the stolen information for political gain? again one asks, what if the spies had been democratic staffers accessing republican memos? do you think republicans would just be asking you to sign a petition? this "ethical breach" would become a gargantuan scandal and media circus culminating in resignations, sackings, recalls and impeachments... couldn't someone express at least some bloody indignation? pathetic...this breaking and entering and spying business brings a little affair to mind... what was it? ah yes... watergate!
