... prove MY point, not yours.

Again, read the comments in your own link to the OP containing the original article citing "boxes in the garage". The only posters who picked up that meme and ran with it are Showden supporters. The Snowden detractors never mention it once in their replies - they instead discussed Snowden's resume, work history, military service, education, etc.

And the reason that meme refuses to die here is simple: the Snowden fans keep posting it in threads about Snowden - three of them did so right here in this thread.

Here's a link to an OP asking for examples of a Snowden detractor attempting to smear Eddie for having "boxes in his garage". You participated in this thread yourself. Examples found? Zero.

If I now own "garage boxes" and "pole dancer girlfriend", can I expect royalties whenever those phrases are used? If so, I will be collecting those fees from Snowden fans, because they're the ONLY ones who ever use them.
