Very very few DUers are attacking the IRS scandal or the Benghazi scandal. Because they are not scandals.
But a majority here think the NSA spying on us is not acceptable. It is not about Snowden. It is about if we want the NSA collecting and storing the information on us. Many of us DO NOT!
That does not mean we LOVE Snowden. Or hate Obama. But it means we are not happy with Obama embracing and extending the shit Bush did with the Patriot Act and the 9/11 hysteria.
So drop the BS about us loving Snowden. The only reason we support Snowden is because he exposed stuff that has started a discussion about if we want this type of spying.

(19,768 posts)But there are real unanswered questions about the Bengazi and IRS scandals, more so the IRS scandal, that need to be answered. Some want to sweep those under the rug. I want the answers, so I guess I'm one of those few you speak of on those topics.
I am glad to see most of those paying attention outraged by what we're learning about the NSA deal, though. The ones who run around the board calling racist and Obama-haters those of us who put the Constitution and our core rights and freedoms above party and politician are transparent in their agenda and demands for blind faith in our government and current president.
