How the Professional Left's Blind Obama Hatred Got them Played by a Far-Right Nutjob

44. Precisely. The people attacking Snowden never explain the relevance of this.

This is at least the second thread on this exact same article -- see its predecessor -- and in neither of them did any of the Snowden detractors (or should we call them NSA defenders?) make any serious effort to link Snowden's views on Social Security with the question whether the government (i.e., the Obama administration) is currently violating the Fourth Amendment.

Snowden could have endorsed moon landing faked and 9/11 an inside job and Obama born in Kenya, and dredging up all those weirdnesses from his past wouldn't tell us one thing about the current state of our constitutional rights.

BTW, for the benefit of the all-too-many DUers who don't read posts carefully, let me clarify that I made up all those examples for purposes of illustration. I have no reason to believe or even suspect that Snowden supports any of those theories. In fact, I've devoted zero effort to compiling information about Edward Snowden's political positions. That question has no bearing on anything I care about. When Snowden runs for public office, I'll be glad to look at the oppo research on him.
