Sean Hannity is warning that data mining and surveillance are "very clear violation of the Fourth Amendment," a drastic change for the Fox News host, who was a loud defender of National Security Agency surveillance during the Bush administration.
But back in 2006, when a similar NSA spying scandal was unearthed during President George W. Bush's administration, Hannity wasn't so concerned. He came out as a staunch defender of the NSA then, saying it was "staggering to me we are even debating the use of these techniques in this country even at this time."
Media Matters offers a look at Hannity on NSA surveillance, then and now.
Interesting. There is a lot of division in both Republican and Dem ranks on this issue. But, LJ, why don't you also bring up Obama when talking about two-faced statements. Obama was against this when he was a candidate but now he has ramped up this assault on our civil liberties way more than "W" even imagined.

So you are more concerned about some talking head that only 3% of Americans watch over the guy implementing the policy?
Good to know you have your priorities set.
