(54,327 posts)Snowden praises Russia on their "stand against human rights violations" . . . but, but but, we're all just experienced all the anti-gay build up to the Olympics in Russia, so I guess in Snowden's mind gays aren't entitled to human rights?
How does that square with him praising the Russians on human rights when he has to know they're violating the hell out of gay human rights?
Can I get an "H", for hypocrisy? That word keeps coming to mind when Snowden is examined a little more closely. Seems the great hero is willing to overlook Russia's anti-gay acts as long as they harbor him.
And he was willing to overlook Bush's Patriot act crap, even vilifying whistle blowers who leaked government secrets. He even said they should be shot in the balls.
Then Obama, the black guy, took office and all bets were off. He had this great "Damacus Road" conversion to whistle blowing himself.
Well whistle blowing St. Edward, SPEAK THE FUCK UP ABOUT GAY RIGHTS IN RUSSIA IF YOU'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS.
