104. funny- you are claiming to KNOW he's a hero

Tue Jun 11, 2013, 01:22 PM

As he sits in the luxury of China's human rights abuse shadows and threatens to reveal secret information to the Chinese about the whereabouts of America's intelligence and military personell.
Why do baggers and other Obama derangement Syndrome tin hat wearers believe Snowden is thier hero? Is it because teabaggers and other Obama derangement syndrome enjoyers WANT our own people murdered by chinese and other enemies of Americans?
Isnt that why they've been cheering for this dangerous racist traitor?

Supporting a racist confedarate apologist for president does say a lot about Snowden's particular case of Obama Derangement Syndrome and the fuel for his hatred for his fellow Americans.
Your hero took it upon himself to decide which brave Americans will live and which will die within our military and intelligence community- Obviously the entire point of going to the chinese is to make an unspoken threat to give our enemies control over the safety of our own agents.
Making a traitor to your country your personal hero deserves attention and ridicule.
The ODS (Obama derangement syndrome) movement has already been found wanting in every measure and receives the respect and legitimacy it deserves from those that live in the real world.- Same Teabaggers, different day.
