139. Congratulations!

You have won the DU Obfuscation Game by hitting ALL THREE requisite talking points:

1) When confronted with the fact that Manning broke the law, and admitted to doing so, simply change the subject. (e.g. Let's talk about how everything is the government's fault.)

2) Reiterate that Manning's law-breaking is the result of a corrupt government that is comprised of LYING MEANIES - AND DO IT IN ALL CAPS!!!!!

3) Defend Manning's law-breaking by equating it to something actually heroic - like freeing the slaves.

BONUS POINT!!!!!!!!!!: Instead of defending your position with actual facts, accuse anyone who questions that position of being "devoted to their leader" - who, I take it, is Obama - and who, you should have noticed, was never part of the conversation in the first place.


*Kudos on your execution of Point #3. The comparison of disclosing thousands of confidential documents, without even knowing their content, and the actions of those who aided and abetted the freeing of slaves was - albeit totally laughable - creative and inspired in its pretzel logic. A lesser man would have gone with Rosa Parks - but as they say, Go Big or Go Home.
