Snowden is a hero

[uhnope]

89. Gimme me break. Here are Snowden's claims. They are still BS now like they were when he made them:

Snowden defenders, you can't show any evidence that these outrageous claims by Snowden weren't lies:
“I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant, to a federal judge or even the President, if I had a personal e-mail.”

“All they have to do is enter an e-mail address or an IP address, and it does two things, searches the database and lets them listen to the calls or read the e-mails of everything that the NSA has stored, or look at the browsing histories and Google search terms.”

“It’s done with no need to go to court, no need to get approval . . . But it allows them to listen to whatever e-mails they want, telephone calls, browsing history, Microsoft Word documents.”


This has all been shown to be BS. It's been disproved. It's plainly not truth. How many ways can it be said?

You Snowden worshippers might say that maybe what he said wasn't exactly true, but it led to revelations about some NSA abuse. That's like calling Chicken Little a hero because a drop rain fell after he claimed the sky was falling.
