I Am Beyond Sick/Tired Of Being Called An "Authoritarian NSA Apologist". [View all]

[KittyWampus]

I insist on facts regarding the NSA and not exaggerations, falsehoods and lies of omission.

I question the timing of the NSA information coming out and the manner in which it is being released and reported on.

I question why the Republican controlled Intelligence Committee didn't pass on information from the White House regarding the NSA.

I question why the timelines built from various statements made by Greenwald, Snowden etc over the last month or so don't fit properly.

I question the motives of Snowden, Greenwald and the entire Wikileaks team because Snowden, Greenwald and Assange have all aligned themselves w/politicians who are intent on destroying the Democratic party. As imperfect as the Democratic Party is, it's what we have to work with.

I did a poll a few weeks back on DU and only one single solitary person voted a show of confidence in the NSA to leave it alone as it is.

EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO VOTED INDICATED AT LEAST IT NEEDED TO BE REIGNED IN.

So why the heck are so many of us getting called "Authoritarian NSA Apologists"?

Why are some liberal discussion boards shouting down those of us trying to sort through information and find out what exactly is happening?

Why, when something ends up being incorrect, exaggerated or incomplete do some liberals refuse to accept that?

Why are some liberals so quick to embrace Greenwald (who said outright he favors Nader's tactics), Snowden who is on the record as a social security hating libertarian and Assange who supports Paul?

So far the entire NSA story seems to have been quite well orchestrated well before Greenwald's first story from Snowden's leaks.

Who orchestrated this whole story and who funded it and what their motives are MATTERS. And knowing that it matters doesn't make me or anyone else an Authoritarian or an Apologist.

It matters because if facts are being massaged to further an agenda, then the facts may not be as cut and dry as some liberals want to believe.

I actually can deal with a political reality that exists as shades of gray. It is really too bad so many self-professed liberals typing away on the internet are obviously not comfortable with shades of gray but require a black/white dichotomy.
