In reply to the discussion: regarding Edward Snowden, the point is being missed I suspect... [View all]SomethingFishy
(4,876 posts)yet you are the only person in this thread who used that word. I have seen maybe a total of 5 people call him an actual hero.
The OP specifically says "it's not about him".
The people I see "keeping Snowden front and center" are the ones trying to discredit him. And I say him because no one seems to manage to discredit the papers he gave to Greenwald, just the man himself. I popped in yesterday after 2 weeks on the road and I had not even had a thought about him. Yet the very first thread I saw was diatribe against Snowden posted by one of the usual folks.
I don't understand why people think that the Snowden revelations are a bane against Obama. They are a bane against the "real" government. You know the guys behind the scenes, the ones who don't get elected, the ones who really run things. When Obama leaves office, no matter whop comes in after him, the same people will be running the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the DOD...
I never saw Snowdens revelations as a shot at Obama, I saw them as a shot against the government... The "real" government.
