(51,797 posts)Uponit7771 responded rather tersely and sarcastically to another post asking the loaded question of whether a poster supported "the President's domestic surveillance of citizens." As he went on to explain further in the thread, "This is the 3rd time in 10 years the meta data story has come out the first we found out Bush was doing it without a warrant now we find out Obama is doing with a warrant and oversight and we have the same reaction as if they were the same and they're not."

And he certainly does not say he supports it "because Snowden and Greenwald are libertarians," which was the assertion of the OP and the poster I was addressing. Uponit7771 does not even mention Snowden and Greenwald.
