The Weekly Standard: Flashback: Obama Said Terrorists Shouldn't Get Miranda Rights

What this video, The Miranda issue is simply laughed aside, as if it was preposterous to even raise the subject.
And two months after his Inauguration, President Obama reiterated, "Now, do these folks deserve miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not."

Then he says "Dont mock the constitution" He is saying that terrorists should be given the same rights as American citizens. BY AMERICA. the problem with that logic is.. THEY ARENT AMERICAN CITIZENS! THEY DO NOT GET THE SAME RIGHTS WE DO. (Unless we are talking about citizens committing terrorism. If thats the case then they do deserve due process.) For the most part we are talking about enemy combatants. This is a joke, that he Barack Obama who consistantly flouts federal law (his handling of the Chrysler bankrupcy) and goes against the spirit and letter of constitutional law would have the nerve to use that language. But therein lies the "Audacity of Hope" The audacity of him who believes that because he has proclaimed his mandate, he can lie, cheat and steal as long as he feels that he is achieving the greater good. (This is not conjecture, this is a philosophy taken from one of his favorite mentors, Saul Alinsky; Read his manifesto "Rules For Radicals." Obama taught these principles as a professor.

So much for the smirk and sarcasm. I guess the joke's on us.

BTW: It was Sarah Palin who said at the GOP convention: "Al Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."
