"You really seem to like making a.... spectacle of yourself with your, uh, strong interest in Snowden."

...I can see why you would believe that.

the idiotic attacks on Snowden show exactly how petty and pathetic those folks are

As I said, this is all about creating a bunch of people to hate.

Not everyone wants to sing the anti-Obama tune, and not everyone wants to declare loyalty to Snowden, the criminal, fugitive who is desperate for a plea bargain.

Maybe others can see things you're unable to see.

Trying to insult people for calling out Snowden is futile.

From the OP: "what he�s done increases his popularity and his bargaining power" ProSense Mar 2014 #14

We'll see. I think the NSA and the like are very busy trying to cover their sorry asses. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2014 #15

The NSA is under fire, but that has no bearing on Snowden's strategy for a plea bargain. n/t ProSense Mar 2014 #16

I think his "strategy" is to expose the wrongdoing of the NSA. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2014 #17
