Why did it take a Democratic administration for Snowden to become a dissident?

356. Having had the "pleasure" of reading your posts, I've noticed

that when you're cornered or someone you hold highly is criticized (justifiably), you have the tendency to attack the poster (the messenger) with zeal. So off that high horse you go!

For the record, of course I'm against massive spying on ANYONE. But guess what, sabrina? Every major corporation (the very corporations GG defends and hopes to keep in power by supporting Libertarian ideals and Republicans) is spying on the American consumer and have been for decades - ever since the advent of the Mastercard and Visa, and from AT&T to your local Vons Supermarket. So cry me a river already.

This crap didn't start under President Obama, as GG and you are trying to tell people. Sorry. It has been going on for DECADES; before President Obama even decided to be a State Senator - ever since the creation of Credit Reporting Agencies. Duh.

And I'm not "name-calling", childishly or otherwise. I'm stating FACT. There IS a difference. Try to understand at least that much.

And nothing, absolutely nothing, I've written in my previous post can be construed as "gossip". They are statements of fact, based on Greenwald's own tweets and blog posts - unless, of course, you believe someone's hacked into GG's twitter account and began tweeting without his knowledge - in the same line as Ron Paul had been trying to say that his racist newsletter were all written without his knowledge.

So, how's that for discussing the ISSUES.

Apology accepted. Being a Democrat who actually supports the Democratic Party, I'm courteous like that.
