[Exciting Trip]

NSA apologists had been accusing Snowden of such role. Another fail for them.

1. Anyone try to get a statement from Rogers, or Feinstein regarding

WHY they tossed that false allegation out there? Rogers appears to have gone silent.

3. I believe they are flailing. Trying to throw anything at him to see what they can make stick nt

6. It's a shame how our elected officials can go on the MSM and lie with impunity and are never

held accountable. Any normal person who attempted to lie like that would be challenged and discredited. But the MSM makes a weak attempt to try to 'get a statement' from the liars, then they drop the ball. He should be pursued relentlessly until he either admits he was lying, that he had zero evidence of what he was telling the public, or he should be removed from office.

In essence he did what Christie did. He abused his position of power to smear a Whistle Blower attempting to influence the public's perception of an issue of vital importance to this country.

If he was willing to lie about that, what else has he lied about. We don't need LIARS in our government.

7. Closer to home, its pretty amazing the usual crew is avoiding this thread completely. Kick!

8. And that's another thing. When an elected official lies, as Bush did, Cheney, Condy

and that whole gang of war criminals, they could not have gotten away with it had it not been for the blind partisans who gave them cover. The MSM aided and abetted them of course, but if THEY realized too that the people will not support liars in their government, they would think twice before letting them get away it also.

I cannot understand supporting someone who outright lies to you, even if it's a lie you wish was true. You cannot trust a liar, period.

I doubt the pro Security State contingency will post in this thread. They post where they believe they can promote the idea that Snowden is a traitor.

11. MLK was a communist, you know. Pathetically, it will be the right that takes charge

of this. I really REALLY do not understand how Dems became so weak.

5. They smear because they can.

They know they will not be held accountable.

10. Keerikits from the NSA defenders. Little doubt that Koch bros are scrambling their

best propagandist to flood the internet to catapult this propaganda.

4. Do you remember those boxes in Snowden's garage?

Woody Allen DVD's, floor-to-ceiling.

(from someone who appreciates Edward Snowden and doesn't know what to think about Woody Allen, but still likes his movies)
