An extreme front group for what or whom? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #3

Its a front group for Glen Greenwald's self-fellating, libertarian agenda. phleshdef Jul 2013 #7

Hahaha! Like I said. No clue as to what a front group is. Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #8

They're calling it a "front group" because it sounds ominous... joeybee12 Jul 2013 #12

Read your own posted definition. phleshdef Jul 2013 #19

And what pet projects of Glen[sic]'s would those be? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #21

The usual, NSA, Bradley Manning, Big brother is coming to get you, etc. phleshdef Jul 2013 #31

Any proof of your accusations? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #45

I never said they had ties to Rand Paul. phleshdef Jul 2013 #59

Could you link to an example of Alex Jones, Rand Paul type of material? Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #61

They met using remote means in January, its not a false rumor. phleshdef Jul 2013 #65

Oh, so advocacy for equality bothers you, and semi pornographic comments about auto erotic Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #18

No. Hijacking topics that have nothing to do with the topic of equality bothers me. phleshdef Jul 2013 #24

So stop Hijacking this thread. You should link when you accuse you are utterly mischaracterizing Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #29

You are a piece of work. phleshdef Jul 2013 #33

Well you hijacked this thread with 'auto fellatio' comments, and that was not the first such post of Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #46

That wasn't a hijack. I was speaking directly to a subject in the OP. phleshdef Jul 2013 #51

"I'll do what I wanna do." ohheckyeah Jul 2013 #144

Yep. That was a dispicable post. Luminous Animal Jul 2013 #26

What I notice is that the OP does not respond at all, instead a tight group of others come Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #36

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the OP hasn't been back to his/her computer in the past few hrs? phleshdef Jul 2013 #43

Of course. Did it ever occur to you that the OP might be the author of the blog posted? Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #48

No, the OP is female, the author of the blog is male. phleshdef Jul 2013 #52

I think people are confusing me with flamingdem Jul 2013 #57

It just struck me: Maybe the op is quoting the op. cali Jul 2013 #15

I do believe that to be the case. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #20

Your speculation on someone's privacy--i.e., the OP's identity, is quite ironic in a Snowden thread. msanthrope Jul 2013 #27

why? do explain why you think it's ironic cuz I'm missing that entirely. cali Jul 2013 #30

I am sure. nt msanthrope Jul 2013 #35

so why won't you explain it to poor stupid ol' me? cali Jul 2013 #40
