... I have been participating in another Snowden thread and, yes indeedy - someone did raise the topic of the "pole dancing girlfriend". The person who raised it is a staunch Snowden supporter. No one else in the entire thread raised the topic.

The Snowden fans are always the ones who raise the "boxes in the garage" and "stripper girlfriend" topics, in a very transparent - and incredibly lame - attempt to imply that it is the Snowden doubters who are obsessed with same.

BTW, the third link you provided actually doesn't go to prove your point. The DUer there merely posted a pic of Snowden's GF, and commented that he thought she was too pretty to be attracted to Snowden - he said nothing about her occupation at all.

So that's three fails. Amazing that posts by people who "were arriving in droves to yell about boxes in garages and abandoned stripper girlfriends" can't be found. I wonder why that is - I suspect it's because such posts never happened.
