In reply to the discussion: Snowden (who really does, apparently, have epilepsy) helps an epileptic. [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)What is even more interesting (though not surprising) is the reaction of the Snowdenistas, who are claiming that discussing Snowden's epilepsy constitutes a "smear", is a diversionary tactic meant to steer all discussion away from his claims about the NSA, and/or a call to distrust people who suffer from this all-too-commonplace condition.
Aside from the fact that such comments are ridiculous on their face, what is glaringly apparent is that many of the Snowden supporters here will literally jump on anything they even remotely perceive to be a slight against their idol - regardless of how inane that perception might be.
While Obama supporters are regularly labelled as being idol worshippers who can't abide any criticism of the president, it is amazing to watch the Snowden supporters insist that discussing Eddie's health issues, and their possible impact on his personality and behaviour, is an "attack" on their Chosen One.
The lack of self-awareness among the Snowdenistas is astonishing. They seem to have no capacity to recognize how far their blind worship exceeds anything the staunchest Obama supporter has ever posted here in praise of/in defense of the POTUS.
