49. Snowden merely confirmed what we already know

Thu Mar 13, 2014, 06:41 AM

Mar 2014

Yet the Snowden fans treat him as the Second Coming, and Glenn Greenwald as his prophet.

And if someone points out that Snowden merely confirmed what we already know, that he conveniently changed his opinion about leakers only after the black guy got in the Oval Office, or that his actions are closer in style to those of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove than Daniel Ellsberg, or that his political associations indicate that he's a RW libertarian objectivist and not the liberal/progressive hero his fans make him out to be, which is further indicated his choice of the grifter-gadfly "journalist" to promote his tour of those bastions of freedom and individual liberty: China and Russia, and he also treated his girlfriend like shit - well the person that points that out must be a totalitarian fascist RW plant.
