The Blowback Decade | Unfilter 17

The Blowback Decade | Unfilter 17

You’re being told the embassy attacks in Egypt and Libya are in response to a movie, but in fact it’s the blowback from a over a decade of a policy of mistakes and a growing anti-west movement. You’ll get our analysis in this episode.

Bush’s former director of the CIA and the NSA has shared details on on the initial rollout of the NSA’s domestic spying program and the subsequent ratcheting up of the invasion of citizens privacy. We’ve got the exclusive clips from the source.

It’s our follow up, and your feedback.

All that and a lot more on this week’s Unfilter.

    This show should be called ‘Filtered Through A Liberal Lens’. You need to get a more diverse set of folks on the show to really be ‘Unfiltered’. I would suggest at least one Conservative or Libertarian to bring more balance to the show. I have listened to numerous shows, and there is clearly a liberal bias from the current participants. If you really want to be unfiltered, you would include more points of view.

    More often we get called Obama hating Republicans.

    Can you give me some examples?

    I realized a few minutes after I made this post we had some stuff that painted the Bush Administration negatively.

    That’s not bais, that’s facts. 9/11 happened. Our policy in the middle east went through dramatic changes under Bush. Also fact.

    Ok, I know you are the US, but you should listen to the segment circa 35 minutes in on Sunday’s (16th Sept), Broadcasting House, (BBC Radio 4). Very interesting snippet from someone who was ‘there man’, (back then like – when ‘then’ was before I was born, and I’m old). But basically outlines the problem with US foreign policy currently and how it goes way back. (olly stone should be proud).

    In one segment related to gun control, I never heard the point of view that Americans have a right to defend their life and property. One participant said he couldn’t think of a single reason for anyone to own a gun!

    In another segment, you were basically equating Fast and Furious with Wide Receiver. Some of your IRC chatroom folks were correcting you live, but you didn’t seem to mention those corrections.

    If you had at least one Conservative/Libertarian participant, we would hear firsthand some of those points of view (not just in the chat room), and get a more interesting discussion.

    I will continue to listen to this show, which I do enjoy, but would appreciate it more if there was more political diversity among the live speaking participants.

    Personally i think the film/trailer was just a convenient trigger.

    Great show guys.

    I’m a libertarian. (No, not a teaparty maniac; I just want the Gov to do for me only what I cannot do for myself. ergo: small gov)
    Really, if you look at what Romney stands for, I wouldn’t consider him a ‘conservative’ as many/all of his stances still involve a very pervasive and active federal role. He may call himself a conservative, but Romney definitely isn’t.
    Sadly, I think the term ‘conservative’ is misrepresented. GW Bush, for example, was one of the most liberal presidents we’ve ever had.
