What is it about Edward Snowden that elicits a negative reaction from some people?

38. b/c what he did gave their man a hard time...

and they're about 1 man in govt and about the party. it's the same vitriol i mentioned when Corey Booker said something not in obama's favor. And of all people to hate on, Corey Booker... smh. Anyone who defies obama gets eviscerated, so the real question is what is it about Obama that drives people to this.

i understand being attached, i've been campaigning for dems for over 2 decades, but this is wild. ESPECIALLY when it's regarding a cause people have been FOR (privacy rights, etc) the entire time. I like h clinton, but when she acts like a hawk, i'm callin' her a hawk. when she doe something else i'm not keen on, i'm not gonna hate her guts, i'm gonna throw her a boo, say it sucks, remember it and call it a night. i like B clinton, when does something i don't like, i'm gonna say it and adjust my schemata. When Mario Cuomo used to...well, he's perfect, nev mind. lol. But no matter what, i coulda still seen a point even if it makes my guy look bad. This is insane.

or it could be what politics just boils down to these days because we've bought into the cult of personality, good vs. evil and vitriol fed by party propoganda in order for THEM to win elections. Still never seen it reach this level.
