In reply to the discussion: Snowden is a poopy head [View all]Pholus
(4,062 posts)134. Bwahahahaha! So you think there are good leakers....
just as long as they "carefully edit" the papers with reporters. Bwahahahahaha.
You are literally becoming pathetically incoherent on this. First off, you really need to grow a pair if you're going to be the "heroic Democratic realist" rooting for the spooks. Or at least the one you fantasize that you are.
After all, Dick Cheney, your idol when it comes to the invention of the surveillance monster, was just trying to preemptively wipe out a leaker using old school tactics. He had reporters too you know.
Anyway, that's why they tossed him in jail. Oh wait, that happened in alternate history-land. In OUR sad little reality, President Obama's DOJ sided with the neocons -- just like you do -- and he stayed out of jail happy, wealthy and with a heart that he unfairly jumped to the head of the transplant list to get.
Justice!!!!
And Cheney's PNAC TIA child, spun off into the NSA lived happily ever after and grew to epic size.
That true story should warm your Snowden-hatin', Cheney lovin' little heart...

I hear failures from Hannity, mostly on his part to tell the truth, ergo it is just listening to him
