and there I was thinking that the farcical accusation of being a "self-hating Black woman", for daring to remind people Martin Luther King was against imperialism, was as tortured as it gets.

Thanks. Finding out that people I have no respect for on issues are that obsessed, only encourages me to crank up the volume.

As I type, Snowden is up to 1.25M followers as his detractors, who love their personal comfort more than they love fellow Americans or our millions of victims in this world, drift away into oblivion.

10 years from now, who will even remember those twisted, Snowden-hating asshats?

I can barely remember them now lol.

You're welcome Uncle Joe! Catherina Oct 2015 #9

It's mostly attacking the messenger stuff and stating that since government also gets hacked Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #18

Ah. Probably the same posters who attacked every Snowden thread over the years Catherina Oct 2015 #25

Maybe some of the same posters who don't think a defector should inject himself in to our politics brush Oct 2015 #61

Yeah - touting a line that's basically bullshit. Fawke Em Oct 2015 #45

I agree, Fawke Em and it's not just a matter of security but of government supervision and control. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #51

So, Snowen confirms what I always thought TexasProgresive Oct 2015 #8

I think his point is a lot more than that. HRC's server didn't even have a real SSL certificate, Catherina Oct 2015 #20

H. A. Goodman is a Bernie Sanders propagandist moobu2 Oct 2015 #16

As of March 16th 2015, the person that wrote this article was planning on voting for Hillary if Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #29

And if Bernie Sanders is the nominee (he wont be) moobu2 Oct 2015 #32

I believe he would vote for Bernie should he become the nominee, the point being not all critics Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #35

Wow, you are saying Hillary's supporters would vote GOP or not vote? Gore1FL Oct 2015 #50

Bernie Sanders isn't a Democrat moobu2 Oct 2015 #89

He was Independent right until he figured the Democrats have more money shenmue Oct 2015 #94

You said "is the nominee" Gore1FL Oct 2015 #105

Bullshit. The Green Manalishi Oct 2015 #66

Yeah, well that's just, like, your opinion man Z_California Oct 2015 #83

And before that he was a Rand Paul supporter. Yet somehow he's DU's favorite. DanTex Oct 2015 #33

Federal government emails are not secure. I got chewed out by HUD yesterday for emailing a document upaloopa Oct 2015 #34

Right. You had a team telling you not to do that. Fawke Em Oct 2015 #47

What was your point? upaloopa Oct 2015 #62

That, while no server is totally secure, Dot Gov has professionals Fawke Em Oct 2015 #96

There was no security breach there were no laws upaloopa Oct 2015 #97

Yes, Sanders is completely dependent on Hillary having a scandal to win. L. Coyote Oct 2015 #36

I don't think that's at all what the article implies Catherina Oct 2015 #40

Then why do Sanders supporters bring up the upaloopa Oct 2015 #42

Being concerned about the protection of national security is Fawke Em Oct 2015 #48

Concerned about national security while deifying Snowden. Uh huh. Metric System Oct 2015 #73

Hit the nail on the head treestar Oct 2015 #86

They don't. But if they did, its probably because they secretly demwing Oct 2015 #49

Bernie doesn't need a scandal to beat Hillary, he has a copy of her voting record. Major Hogwash Oct 2015 #111

Their positions on the political spectrum certainly place Bernie further from center. L. Coyote Oct 2015 #117

I just can't get on board with any suggestion that Snowden said anything not already known? Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #38

A true libertarian would most likely support Hillary's decision of placing her server outside Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #41

We can all stop worrying about it, (R) Speaker candidate Kevin McCarthy said, it is all only a Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #65

He was referring to Benghazi, that's a separate issue from Hillary setting up her own server, even Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #67

The email story is from the committee, they had nothing until they got creative over email. Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #108

The Hillary having her own server is a factual issue and Politico isn't the only one acknowledging Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #120

The Republicans still have nothing and you are moving the goal/topic. Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #121

No other department head had their own private "server," Hillary is the first. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #122

You cling to your story even as the evidence shows you are wrong. Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #123

E-mail is not the same as "server." n/t Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #124

Thanks for the dissembling topic move. You said email separate from Benghazi, wrong. You said no Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #125

Yup. SoapBox Oct 2015 #39

Heh. Zorra Oct 2015 #52

Heh, I hope so. And just now "FBI director confirming inquiry into Clinton email setup" Catherina Oct 2015 #58

Hacked by Romania too. GGucifer Catherina Oct 2015 #88

Thats not how clintonmail.com server was setup, was not for Group Access BlueStateLib Oct 2015 #102

People don't like her policies, it's that simple. She's a war hawk, and it's even worse than I sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #99

People dont like her policies? lol She's the front runner. moobu2 Oct 2015 #131

Traitor Ed on record saying the e-mails were not safe. I ask was her server hacked? Safer than kelliekat44 Oct 2015 #101

Completely agree. There's no evidence she was hacked, unlike the State Department. Baltimore18 Oct 2015 #112

Hero Ed is correct. Her emails were not safe. He is correct, but it really isn't a big deal. BillZBubb Oct 2015 #127
