In reply to the discussion: Open Letter to Snowden/Greenwald demonizers. Please make up your mind. Which is it? [View all]backscatter712
(26,355 posts)36. Demonizer's a pretty good term, though I prefer the term scumbag.
Because the kinds of people who would obsess over spreading rumor and innuendo to smear a person's reputation are the kinds of people that I do not want to be around.
The demonizing they do is fucking disgusting.
They have zero moral character.
They have all the ethics of James O'Keefe. For all we know, at least one of them IS James O'Keefe.
Perhaps they should migrate to Red State or Breitbart - they'd find their smearing tactics more acceptable to the slime that inhabits those sites.
They're the black mold of DU: utterly toxic!
All of DU is diminished because these character assassins are allowed to ply their trade on this site.

The OP was about Snowden & Greenwald. Is the ACLU asking for a pardon for Snowden?
