A cheap shot to get clicks I think. xtraxritical Jun 2013 #51

It means "extreme Democrat" burnodo Jun 2013 #71

Nice diversion, tavalon Jun 2013 #7

It was alleged by Snowden. randome Jun 2013 #53

Right, among others who are/were in a position to know usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #54

I wouldn't have a problem with a 'Secrecy Commission' or some such. randome Jun 2013 #59

The problem is many of the claims are based only on Snowden and Greenwald. jeff47 Jun 2013 #21

Railing I am...... Apparently you've not seen these: think Jun 2013 #25

And neither of those are relevant to your previous statements. jeff47 Jun 2013 #27

I provided factual evidience to back up statements in regards to the NSA law violations & senators think Jun 2013 #33

If you provided that information, the word "Congress" would appear in it. jeff47 Jun 2013 #37

So a FISA court ruling from 2011 is not valid because they changed the law in 2010? think Jun 2013 #46

No, the ruling was about how they did things before the 2010 law. jeff47 Jun 2013 #94

His defense of Joseph Massad's linking of Zionism with Nazism is pretty disgusting... msanthrope Jun 2013 #39

That never happened. He criticed AJ for silently yanking Massad's article that they published. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #55

You conveniently forget his racist tweet and link..... msanthrope Jun 2013 #60

There was nothing racist in the Al Jazeera tweet... Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #62

I really cannot believe you defend the racist behavior detailed by AngryBlackLady-- msanthrope Jun 2013 #70

By the way, Al Jazeera subsequently reposted the article. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #63

I guess Greenwald's anti-Semitism was appealing, then. nt msanthrope Jun 2013 #66

False claims of racism and anti-Semitism. Hissyspit Jun 2013 #82

Who are "the usual suspects" Mr. Greenwald referred to? Care to explain that comment? msanthrope Jun 2013 #87

I am sure that Glenn thinks there is no inconsistency--his wiretapping was justified. nt msanthrope Jun 2013 #88
