Highlight:

UK poll: Conservatives significantly more likely than liberals to hate Snowden's leaks [View all] Otelo Apr 2014 OP

Matches the DU thinking on the issue Doctor_J Apr 2014 #1

Yep, same in the US. Right Wingers far more likely to hate Whistle Blowers and Journalists who sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #35

I disagree with this. dilby Apr 2014 #2

Are you sure you are not refering to NeoLiberals that are basically Conservatives Dragonfli Apr 2014 #4

Not liberals, they are Third Way/DLC which have infiltrated the Dem Party for a couple of decades sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #36

Similar results were shown in a DU poll here where 92% of those that responded Dragonfli Apr 2014 #3

A DU poll is indicative of nothing. randome Apr 2014 #6

True, most of the visceral hatred of whistle blowing does appear to be on the internet Dragonfli Apr 2014 #7

'Hatred'. Hah! randome Apr 2014 #9

What did Jon have to say about it, randome? Cha Apr 2014 #10

When he was discussing Putin's truthworthiness. randome Apr 2014 #14

Thank you, randome.. how could he pass that up?.. it practically writes itself. Cha Apr 2014 #17

And as an aside: Gina McCarthy, Stewart's guest, EPA Administrator... randome Apr 2014 #19

Great.. Happy Earth Day! Cha Apr 2014 #21

I didn't mention you did I? why did you respond as if I did? Defensive much /nt Dragonfli Apr 2014 #13

I don't deal with 'defensive' when I truly don't care if I'm right or wrong. randome Apr 2014 #16

Please, don't read tea leaves, read what I write, I have enough trouble Dragonfli Apr 2014 #18

Fair enough. randome Apr 2014 #20

"Fucked enough". Aerows Apr 2014 #24

If one walks like a conservative and talks like a conservatives and hates whistle-blowers rhett o rick Apr 2014 #49

You flatter yourself often. nt grasswire Apr 2014 #43

You must not get out very much. I have to totally disagree with you having travelled across the sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #38

Of course. Conservatives worship authority. Whenever anything, or anyone, challenges their beloved Zorra Apr 2014 #5

Even Jon Stewart mocked Snowden last night. randome Apr 2014 #8

it says more about politics in the UK than anything else JI7 Apr 2014 #11

You can choose to give away YOUR rights, but don't think most of the American people are going to sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #40

Of course you would! Lol! sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #39

Stewart's a comedian. He mocks everyone. SwankyXomb Apr 2014 #51

As usual, the conservatives are just tiny group of obnoxious loudmouths Marr Apr 2014 #12

Agreed /nt Dragonfli Apr 2014 #15

Are you sure your headline matches your info? Number23 Apr 2014 #22

Yes. Therein lies my confusion about what this OP was insinuating. randome Apr 2014 #25

I'm not sure either Number23 Apr 2014 #26

The tactic I take is this: randome Apr 2014 #27

yes, because far more Lab/Lib Dems think they're good for society, and far fewer think they're bad muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #52

Well, I guess if you want to say that barely 10% is a "significant" difference then your post makes Number23 Apr 2014 #61

There is no figure there that is 'barely 10%' muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #63

From your own post Number23 Apr 2014 #64

You complained the thread title wasn't backed up by the figures muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #66

The fact that you consider ""Are you sure your headline matches your info?" to be complaining Number23 Apr 2014 #68

I'm not angry; I'm trying to teach you basic math comprehension muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #70

I never said that everyone else was wrong. You are so gunning for a purposeless fight that you are Number23 Apr 2014 #71

No, educating you is not purposeless. muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #72

Asking a question is not making a mistake and you have not "educated" me on one damned thing Number23 Apr 2014 #73

Those that love specific politicians Aerows Apr 2014 #23

the Tiger Beat crowd Skittles Apr 2014 #28

The only two people who are worshipped around here are Snowden and Greenwald. stevenleser Apr 2014 #32

You know exactly whom Skittles is talking about Aerows Apr 2014 #33

And I know how wrong you and she are about this. Two weeks before Snowden's releases Obama stevenleser Apr 2014 #34

You have been wrong about this from the very beginning Aerows Apr 2014 #37

I have been right from day one. Snowden is a sophomoric fool with delusions of grandeur. stevenleser Apr 2014 #44

I'll wait Aerows Apr 2014 #46

That's laughable. Are you sure you linked to the right speech? muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #53

I'm 100% certain. How did you manage to miss these parts? stevenleser Apr 2014 #59

Yeah, those are the bits about torture and detention muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #62

That's not even a nice try at spinning this away. You are simply wrong. Best option is to admit it. stevenleser Apr 2014 #65

It's times like this that I remember you threw away your credibility ages ago muriel_volestrangler Apr 2014 #67

Credibility with who? You? Thanks, I'll survive just fine without it. nt stevenleser Apr 2014 #74

that one is curiously enraged about something, steven. Best to let him sleep whatever it is off Number23 Apr 2014 #69

Amazing how they can deny what is written right in front of them and pretend it doesn't exist. stevenleser Apr 2014 #75

Apparently, you and I have the same brain dysfunction MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #76

So the posts in favor of whistle blowing are "worship", while the BOG posts are not? Doctor_J Apr 2014 #41

I will take you up on your challenge SwampG8r Apr 2014 #42

Don't change my words. Read my post again. "they all have disagreed with him on something" stevenleser Apr 2014 #45

way to weasel word out of what you posted SwampG8r Apr 2014 #54

Except Prosense responded and proved you wrong. I await your apology... nt stevenleser Apr 2014 #57

LOL! ProSense Apr 2014 #55

you must have put the wrong link in there SwampG8r Apr 2014 #56

She says she opposed Obamas choice for SOS and opposed Chained CPI. That is two examples. stevenleser Apr 2014 #60

nope SwampG8r Apr 2014 #78

They have disagreed with him on something, once? AgingAmerican Apr 2014 #48

Who specifically are you talking about? Prosense just responded about one situation. stevenleser Apr 2014 #58

OK - challenge taken LeftishBrit Apr 2014 #79

No doubt RobertEarl Apr 2014 #29

"The Wrath of Cons" then? GoneFishin Apr 2014 #31

Simple addition. GoneFishin Apr 2014 #30

Based on observation, I'd have to agree. Our numbers would be even more stark if TheKentuckian Apr 2014 #50
