The old "worse than Bush" meme, what a surprise. ucrdem Jun 2013 #2

that's not admitting a vendetta. cali Jun 2013 #3

He also used the phrase "assuming power" about Obama. randome Jun 2013 #7

What would thinking things would improve under Obama have to do with it? michigandem58 Jun 2013 #9

Because others had tried to speak up under Bush** magellan Jun 2013 #12

I am not sure if that is "admitting" a vedette, but there is doubt that greenwald has one, and never still_one Jun 2013 #4

Shoot that messenger again. Vanje Jun 2013 #76

My view, your view. Greenwald is exploiting the kid as far as I can see still_one Jun 2013 #86

Snowdon is so fortunate to have your deep concern Vanje Jun 2013 #98

Bullshit. ohheckyeah Jun 2013 #5

Possible 2016 running mate? Floyd_Gondolli Jun 2013 #35

You should be happy to be on the same side as Cheney Vanje Jun 2013 #77

Does that mean if Cheney had been Pro-Snowden you'd have questioned your support of him? Bodhi BloodWave Jun 2013 #89

I can't imagine a universe in which Cheney would side with Snowden. Vanje Jun 2013 #94

most my news come from DU on this topic since i live in norway Bodhi BloodWave Jun 2013 #102

Your question was so hypothetical, Vanje Jun 2013 #106

McCarthyism -- guilt by association. Major Hogwash Jun 2013 #90

So what do you think of Glenn Beck's support for snowden? Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #114

Glen Beck is a nut Vanje Jun 2013 #116

His claim is utter bullcrap. Even Bush appointee who was voted against by Senator Obama has said okaawhatever Jun 2013 #20

I agree and what bothers me the most about him Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #25

You both have an excellent way of stating it! randome Jun 2013 #28

I absolutely believe he's an agent for China. It may have been something recent, but I sort of think okaawhatever Jun 2013 #37

that's what baffles me the most Blue_Roses Jun 2013 #42

I think this is more about undermining the Obama administration Whisp Jun 2013 #74

If transparency "undermines" the Obama Admin,.... Vanje Jun 2013 #79

If the NSA isnt answerable to the American people, Vanje Jun 2013 #84

it is less secret now under Obama Whisp Jun 2013 #87
