Rush compares Apples and Oranges

During the Bush years, Dems were outraged that Bush wanted to wiretap people calling overseas to hear if they were plotting against the US.

Today, Rush compared the EPA surveillance planes to that, and asked where the outrage was.

Well, there's no outrage because the two things are not comparable.

If the surveillance planes had been x-raying people's houses to see what kind of sexual activity was going on, or if bombs were being made, yes, that would be comparable.

But apparently all these surveillance planes are doing is making sure ranches in Nebraska don't pour cow feces into nearby streams.

I don't have a problem with that. (But then, I didn't have a problem with the Bush wire taps, either.)
