Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said Thursday night she laments the fact she didn’t pay more attention to the Patriot Act when it was signed into law by former President George W. Bush in 2001.

Speaking to Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly about the recent revelations the National Security Administration is monitoring American’s phone records, Ingraham said civil libertarians raised red flags at the time of the law’s passing, but that they were “laughed off.”

“I didn’t focus that much about the Patriot Act. I wish I had, that was a mistake,” she said.

O’Reilly said he originally supported the Patriot Act.

4. You were of the worst enablers of that GD Bush.

The only reason right wing hate media opposes this policy is that a Democrat has those powers now.

5. We...told you...ignorant wench

Now we have to deal with the other side partisans making the same sorry arguments you guys did.. Something about you are either with us, or not, and nothing to hide.

6. "Americans need to watch what they say, watch what they do." -Ari Fleischer, govt spokesman, 2001

Bill Maher is a civil libertarian and that statement was made by Mr Fleischer in regard to Bill Maher.

Laura Ingraham was busy calling anyone who criticized the pretzeldent "traitor" back at that time.

She's not right at all, just bemoaning the fact it's a black Democrat and not a rich white Republican calling the shots like they expected for a hundred years after 9/11.
