Most Americans Think Snowden Did the Right Thing, Poll Says

[stupidicus]

72. absolutely nothing

it doesn't matter what his motives were because the material speaks for itself and is the only thing relevant in this case.

Impotence in the face of the message has left them with little but attacking the messenger, which is why they have the losing case.

The concerns and criticisms of BHO and the SS are justified by the debate and action taken on it thusfar, and if defending Snowden's actions (what he'll be tried on in a court of law over versus this court of public opinion where any BS passes the smell test of some)is tantamount to being a stealth rightwinger/libertarian, then it logically and consistently follows that their defenses of BHO on this or any other matter makes them supporters of that criticized or condemned in their entirety, from his chained cpi proposal to this NSA issue.

That's just one of the flaws in the so-called arguments of the cheerleading squad around here. The reason they love to focus on this issue is because unlike the others, chained cpi, drones, etc, there's no scapegoat like Snowden or GG to be found where the burden can be lifted off of Atlas/BHO by that means, given his complete ownership of a great deal of the rest. It's all about controlling the narrative and trying to maintain the focus on one where they can at least present an illusion of defensibility or delude themselves into thinking it defensible.

and motive is not an element of a crime that has to be shown for a conviction. That's why they prefer putting the two amigos on trial with nonsense like that as opposed to putting BHO on a similar trial for that they revealed, as NSA overreach supporters it would appear.... They can't cut the tether between BHO and the NSA problem, but they seem to think lopping their heads off at every opportunity gets the job done.

I suppose if Snowden ever goes to trial, we can expect the prosecution to be asking who he voted for in 2004 and 2008....lol
