(7,597 posts)56. You ain't Alan Grayson,
and anyway it depends on what you mean by spying.
The last time I looked, there were no concentration cmps, in fact there are no visible results on Americans of all this spying. Your elected representatives voted for it. Even the ones opposing it talk about changing the way it's done, not starting from the NAZI and N. Korea comparisons.
No visible results, the government sweeping up no one. I hope Alan Grayson is too smart to continue pandering to the extremists.

Could there be a few Germans who are gratefully saying, "We don't live in the USA".

Making comparisons to Nazi Germany ect shows how juvenile and nonsensical he is.

Not so juvenile. The families of a million dead Iraqis would surely beg to differ.
