The conversation was quickly derailed as New Republic writer Julia Ioffe disputed O’Donnell’s assertion that Russia has complete and total control over Edward Snowden‘s actions.

When you get caught without the facts during the time you are having a moment of glory then don't Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #30

She had the facts. They were just not the facts O'Donnell wanted. NoMoreWarNow Aug 2013 #38

She did not have the facts, she had the facts she wanted to tell, two different things. Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #41

so you think she is an agent of Russia or something? NoMoreWarNow Aug 2013 #44

She did not have her facts together, I never said she was an agent of Russia, perhaps Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #45

A stupid, meaningless discussion wtmusic Aug 2013 #36
