Pardon this man.

I know he's not some big political donor, or someone keeping Saint Reagan's (head bow) dirty secrets, but Barry O needs to drop a Pardon on him right quick.

[woodchip]

Why not...Barry pardons criminal activity all the time.

please, feel free to provide examples and comparisons to predecessors, Woody. Otherwise, I'll simply assume you are waving your Obama hate-on around, once again.

I sort of agree with Vander. The guy broke a few laws, but to make a very valid point.

[Will Robinson]

I agree with his cause so a pardon would be welcome from my perspective but it would be about as insincere as Bill Clinton biting his lower lip and feigning puppy dog eyes as he stares into the camera lens and says: 'I feel your pain'.

[callmeslick]

well, we're up to two contributions of knee-jerk ideology with predictable political whines. About what can be expected here, anymore.

Do you think any one sees Obama as anti Party...anti big money contributors? If he pardons the guy for protesting something Obama profits from it isn't out of solidarity that he does it...thus the insincere allegation.

Yea, I know you think Obama does no wrong and you'll tell us how his big money support was something he despises and its Darth Cheney's fault etc. But thats just you trying to control the discussion and we get that.

Playa... Game...

I'm all for being cynical, but I'll take someone doing the right thing for the wrong reasons over doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons.

[Will Robinson]

thats all well and good generically speaking but since, in this case, the players are responsible for the game getting completely out of control they don't deserve the impunity your sentiment serves up for them. They don't just play by the rules we hate, they write the rules and even re-write them during the game...

[Foil]

Would this guy even want a pardon?

Since he appears to want to get his message out more than anything, and was willing to accept the legal consequences, it's plausible that he'd rather go through public hearings with media coverage than be pardoned.

Don't you mean insincere as when Bill Clinton said: "I did NOT have sex with that woman!"

I also agree the guy should be pardoned. He not only exposed a glaring security hole in Washington DC's airspace protection net without hurting anybody, he essentially flipped the bird at every hypocrite congressperson on Capital Hill. Good for him.
