In the latest, O'Donnell chimes in after Tim Robbins describes his latest part, a real-life policeman in Apartheid South Africa: "They were seeking out terrorists," she begins, drawing parallels between racist South Africa's limitations on citizenship, and Bush's America...

From Senator Russ Feingold's statement in opposition to the Patriot Act waaaaaay back in 2001:
