51. The constant Snowden character assassination here is extremely suspicious

Tue Jul 2, 2013, 04:01 PM

Jul 2013

Far too many people here seem more than happy to make the revelation of widespread illegal NSA wiretapping about tearing down the guy that made it news.

It really makes you wonder how many posters here are real and how many are accounts used by government operatives to steer discussion and opinion.

And if you take offense to my insinuations that those of you who continue to make this all about Snowden may be fake accounts with another agenda, I take offense to the idea that some of you are trying to distract from the real issue and hop on board the government/media messaging bandwagon.

Seriously people, if I wanted to hear what George Stephanopoulos' or David Gregory's "insider sources" want the NSA spying narrative to be, I could tune in and watch them.

Well, since the US "unilaterally" issued it in the first place, I'm not sure what he's talking about Tarheel_Dem Jul 2013 #2

If they had wanted to, I wonder how they would have done it bilaterally? Squinch Jul 2013 #28

Apparently he didn't know this n/t malaise Jul 2013 #3

Well, he doesn't seem to think the mission of a spy agency should be spying. aquart Jul 2013 #37

Not on Americans in violation of the U.S. Constitution...no. Roland99 Jul 2013 #55

Agreed. But he hasn't stopped there, has he? aquart Jul 2013 #67

His travel status is "not about him"? nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #10

Who cares what Snowden's travel status is? Or his naivety regarding passports? Scuba Jul 2013 #15

I care about the status of dishonest traitors. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #19

What was your position on Daniel Ellsberg? former9thward Jul 2013 #30

Ellsberg did not take 7-8 laptops full of classified information to the Chinese and Russians. stevenleser Jul 2013 #47

What about al-Qaeda ? Seems if he is thorough he'd give it to them too. AlinPA Jul 2013 #53

I wouldn't put it past him. When he is back in the US and on the stand, it will be interesting stevenleser Jul 2013 #62

There is no evidence that Snowden gave anything to the Chinese or Russians. former9thward Jul 2013 #63

LOL, that's what you are going with? Really? stevenleser Jul 2013 #68

wait, wasn't it just 7-8 laptops? frylock Jul 2013 #74

Because being a traitor with 4 laptops vs 7 laptops of classified info is such a big difference? stevenleser Jul 2013 #93

why not make it 400 laptops? frylock Jul 2013 #96

Turning over 4, 7, or 400 laptops full of classified info to the Russians and Chinese makes no diff stevenleser Jul 2013 #98

Now its up to 400 former9thward Jul 2013 #100

I'm not the one who said 400. You do realize that right? It was Frylock up thread. stevenleser Jul 2013 #101

You should have simply stopped with the first three words in your subject. You would have been right stevenleser Jul 2013 #97

you know that they didn't have laptops back then? frylock Jul 2013 #73

I'm trying to figure a way your point could be less relevant. Ellsberg did not take unrelated stevenleser Jul 2013 #92
