In reply to the discussion: Edward Snowden: The Biggest Revelations Are Yet to Come [View all]politicman
(710 posts)Am I really on a board for progressives? Because it seems to me like this place is turning more and more into the version of a right wing board.
Reading comments from 'supposed' progressives and democrats who will bend reality and make hypocritical and selective comments about how Snowden is a traitor because he did his 'stealing' of documents under Obama, when these same people would hail him as a hero if it was under bush.
Have read plenty of comments in the past showing support for the murderous crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood protestors when just before that these same people were applauding the anti-Muslim protestors.
Worse yet is reading comments of how great Obamas drone program is whilst at the same time condemning Bush for killing innocent people both with his drone program and with wars.
Not to mention the hypocrisy and selective nature of what happened in the Ukraine only because it resulted in a government that is pro-western and pro-Obama.
I implore all the types of people that make the above selective justifications to think of how you are destroying the fabric of the progressive message and doing exactly what we ridicule conservatives for doing.
