(62,325 posts)trivia of the average American, and frankly he appears to be squeky clean compared to many of our elected officials and others in powerful positions, is of no concern to those who have more important things on their minds.
The issue is and will remain the vast and expanding Surveillance state we find ourselves living in. That is a CRIME, not a CIVIL matter, a CRIME against the Constitution. And you can keep posting all the trivia you want about the messenger, and the next messenger which I'm sure you will, it will not alter this fact one tiny bit.
All your attempts to focus on the messengers only make me wonder 'why is this Democrat so unconcerned about our Civil Rights. That seems extremely odd to those of us who have been trying to get attention for this issue since Bush first began these anti-Constitutional programs. Nearly every Democrat I know has in the past and remains in the present concerned only about the fact that these programs are an anathema to a democracy. They were opposed and still are by some of this country's most credible Elected Officials, Civil Libertarians and most of all, Democrats, including some more rational Republicans and definitely Independents.
So, why is you never discuss the actual issues that most people care about and are posting trivia about a journalist??That is all your comments do for me. Raise questions as to your own 'agenda'.
