In reply to the discussion: Bob Cesca on Greenwald's "Worst Nightmare" Threat [View all]Cha
(319,414 posts)40. "It's not about Snowden" Greenwald is so full of shite.
Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had,
Greenwald must really like it that he has so many mesmerized and ready to follow him fucking anywhere. Case in point.. how many Snowden threads have we seen that stated: "It's not about Snowden"?
Haysus.. It's hard to keep up with all the Snowden/Greenwald Bullshit..
Last week, Der Spiegel reported that Snowden gave them documents that could harm NSA employees, and so the news outlet decided not to issue those details. So much for Greenwalds insistence that Snowden has been discrete and urged reporters not to release anything that would cause gratuitous harm.
Gotta hand it to Bob Cesca and all those who deconstruct it!
Hey stupid!.. In his subsequent clarification post, Greenwald wrote, The US government has acted with wild irrationality. Creep has no sense of irony.
And, finally..
Ultimately, this is the real Greenwald. This is the polemical, agenda-driven bully who tricked the world into believing hes a hard news reporter. Taken with Snowdens other role models, Assange and Ron Paul, and were getting a clear picture of Snowdens agenda and therefore the spin that accompanies all of his so-called bombshells.
So much good stuff in there.. muchas Gracias, flamingdem

Cesca has some choice phrases: “Don’t nobody move, see, or the United States government gets it!”
