"Someone would have to pay me to sit at my computer everyday smearing someone."

...thanks for sharing your principled position. LOL!

You can't even admit that you're trying to deflect from Snowden's embarrassing incident.

Highlight:

Snowden's question and op-ed were attempts to whitewash Russian spying by equating it to the NSA. [View all] ProSense Apr 2014 OP

Snowden has a cult-like following itsrobert Apr 2014 #1

Too much invested to admit he's a fool. ProSense Apr 2014 #2

Did anyone believe Putin? Or, Obama when they both said that there was no surveillance? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #5

What does that have to do with the OP point? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #7

What is the point? That Putin lied? What politician doesn't? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #8

No, that point is an attempt at deflection. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #10

Politicians indulge in deflection...I'm shocked. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #12

You're a "politician"? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #13

No, but Putin and Obama are. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #14

But "Putin and Obama" aren't in this thread trying to deflect from the OP point. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #15

You have yet to provide a "point" other than you don't like Snowden. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #16

LOL! I suppose in deflection, the OP is invisible. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #17

And, the point of that comment is? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #18

Evidently, willfully missing the point is part of your deflection. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #19

Perhaps you will take the time to explain it to me. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #20

I don't believe Snowden has ever mentioned President Obama. bvar22 Apr 2014 #22

"Putin's response was remarkably similar to Barack Obama's initial" ProSense Apr 2014 #23

OMG... He said the sacred name in vain. bvar22 Apr 2014 #24

From: "I don't believe Snowden has ever mentioned President Obama." ProSense Apr 2014 #25

Well, I'm certainly not as obsessed with Snowden as you are. bvar22 Apr 2014 #27

The quote I cited is in the OP ProSense Apr 2014 #30

He also made the case for treason stronger: ucrdem Apr 2014 #26

As compared to those here attempting to whitewash NSA spying. Got it, thanks. nt Electric Monk Apr 2014 #28

The smearing of Greenwald/Snowden are attempts to whitewash Obama's spying. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #29

You may be onto something ProSense Apr 2014 #34

The Snowden Revelations preceeded his getting stranded in Russia, bvar22 Apr 2014 #35

So you're saying Obama set up Putin's propaganda event? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #36

Wait, ProSense Apr 2014 #37

Bubble, bubble,...toil and trouble. bvar22 Apr 2014 #60

LOL! ProSense Apr 2014 #61

Your comment makes NoSense. You're trying to change the subject of my post. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #40

LOL! ProSense Apr 2014 #41

Again you're trying to whitewash Obama's spying. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #42

Are you upset that Snowden played Putin's tool? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #43

Again you're trying to whitewash Obama's spying. Too bad it doesn't work. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #44

Well, ProSense Apr 2014 #46

Is that principled? Would someone have to pay you to smear someone everyday DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #48

Hey, you're the one who said you'd do it if paid. ProSense Apr 2014 #49

Can't answer the question? DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #50

Sure I can, but you're the one who said you'd smear someone if you were paid. ProSense Apr 2014 #53

So you spend 10+ hours a day smearing Snowden and Greenwald for free???? DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #55

LOL! Leave "Snowden and Greenwald" alone ProSense Apr 2014 #56

No, it has nothing to do with Snowden or greenwald. I feel sorry for you. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #57

LOL! ProSense Apr 2014 #58

I know you spend 10+ hours a day on a website smearing people. Its sad. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #59

Who knew calling out Putin's tool would make you cry? ProSense Apr 2014 #62

You sure dont have good reading comprehension. Its your life that brings a tear to my eye. DesMoinesDem Apr 2014 #64

Oh, I know "leave Snowden alone" when I see it. LOL! n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #65

Then ProSense Apr 2014 #39

I said nothing of the sort. TheKentuckian Apr 2014 #80

Huh? Where the hell did I accuse you of saying anything? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #81

It's incredible that anyone can defend Snowden on this point alcibiades_mystery Apr 2014 #45

The response ProSense Apr 2014 #47

Even if it is EXACTLY as Snowden claims, it's still terrible optics and horrible decision-making alcibiades_mystery Apr 2014 #52

It's bizarre. ProSense Apr 2014 #63

I think he's enjoying the fame of all of this too much. I think that's what's driving all of this Number23 Apr 2014 #54

"Mr. Putin," bravo for eavesdropping on Russians and calling out a "*FREE*country"!!!! ProSense Apr 2014 #83

I know--it's so 20th Century. Meanwhile, the Obama admin has your instagram pix! Romulox Apr 2014 #84

People trying to dismiss criticism of Putin often say silly things. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #85

What do people trying to deflect from US dragnet-style spying on the US population do? Romulox Apr 2014 #86

At least you admit that you were attempting to dismiss criticism of Putin. ProSense Apr 2014 #87

I admit no such thing. You are projecting (and doing a poor job of it!) Romulox Apr 2014 #90

"Dragnet-style mass surveillance should only be carried out by a *FREE* country, Mr. Putin!!!111!!1! ProSense Apr 2014 #91

Oh that. It's mockery. And I know you're not that dense. nt Romulox Apr 2014 #92

Ah, back to white washing Obama's spying I see. Katashi_itto Apr 2014 #88
