terrorists?” Elisabeth Hasselbeck: “Who are the terrorists?” O’Donnell: “655 Iraqis. I’m saying you have to look from, we
invaded-” Hasselbeck: “Wait, who are you calling terrorists?” O’Donnell: “I’m saying, if you were in Iraq, and
another country, the United States, the richest in the

“Over the past six
years we’ve had to add to the American picture: rendition,
illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeas corpus,
the neglect of our great city New Orleans and the people, an
attack on the Constitution and the loss of our best young
men and women in a tragic war. And this is a song about
things that shouldn’t happen here, happening here. And so
right now we plan to do something about it — we plan to sing
about it.” — Bruce Springsteen introducing his song “Living in the
Future” before a live concert on NBC’s Today,
September 28, 2007.
