We let the Wingnuts control the language. Spying v. Eavesdropping
Advertisements [?]
Eavesdropping -- To listen secretly to the private conversation of others.

Spying -- The act of an agent employed by a state to obtain secret information, especially of a military nature, concerning its potential or actual enemies.

CALL IT WHAT IT FUCKING IS!!!



Eavesdropping is what someone sitting behind you listening to what you have to say about your burrito addiction to your friend.

SPYING is what our country is doing to us, and it's Illegal and Unconstiutional.

We are letting the RW control the language of this debate (again). Are we ever going to learn? I spoke about this here! HE WHO CONTROLS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEBATE CONTROLS THE DEBATE!!!

How many times are we going to allow this? Even, on the Top 10 this week, DU calls what the Chimp is doing "Eavesdropping." It's not, it's ILLEGAL SPYING, dammit!!!
