Lawrence O'Donnell: Edward Snowden's Christmas Message Was 'Wildly Overblown,' 'Provably Untrue'

[Jamaal510]

11. Careful, Lawrence,

or else you'll get called an "Obama shill" by the Snowden fans here, like how Stephanie Miller was called yesterday on one thread. Snowden and Greenwald are nothing but WINGNUTS, plain and simple. Once they start losing steam and the pressure gets to them, they resort to using provably-false, hyperbolic statements just like how most prominent Republicans do, such as the one about MSNBC defending Obama 24/7 and the one where the government watches our every move (even though that is impossible). To me, this is nothing but fear-mongering on the part of Snowden and Greenwald, just to rile up people. I noticed that Libertarian-leaning people like these two, in general, seem to be experts at generating paranoia about the federal government. They are perennial cynics about government and always pout about whoever is in charge. And the guy who Snowden supported for president last year even came out against Civil Rights. Who is Snowden to talk about freedom, then, especially after fleeing to a country where it is at a premium? How is he a "patriot" after revealing our national security secrets to some of our biggest adversaries?
