(27,835 posts)is a link to a Politico story, and did not originate with a DUer.
The second link goes to a Telegraph article, not to an original post by a DUer.
The third post appears to have originated with a DUer. Kudos for finding it.
Given your contention that people were "arriving in droves to yell about boxes in garages and abandoned stripper girlfriends",, I'm having a hard time equating ONE poster with a DROVE.
"It's harder to find them now because of all the people mocking folks that brought it up in the first place."
No, it's harder to find them because the majority of people who "mocked those who brought it up in the first place" were mocking posts that never existed. If they did exist, you would have had no trouble finding them, and the people who "mocked" such posts, would have provided links to the posts they were "mocking".
The truth remains that Snowden's assertions that he could access Obama's emails, that he could "read people's thoughts as they posted", or that he could monitor people's on-line purchases, have never been proven. At all.
That doesn't make me an NSA defender nor an NSA groupie. It merely makes me skeptical of people who make sweeping allegations without an iota of proof to support those allegations.
