This guy Snowden certainly is a narcissist lying dumb twit, eh? (But that leaves a VERY important question or two.)
...When one major institution (the Washington media establishment) so
seamlessly partners with another (the U.S. government) in trashing a
whistleblower, it’s not hard to understand why Americans might be
jaded. The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin wrote that Snowden is “a grandiose narcissist who deserves to be in prison.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell complained about Snowden’s naiveté and “maturity level,” as if only a child would believe the government should be transparent about its activity. Politico’s Roger Simon called Snowden “the
slacker who came in from the cold,” with “all the qualifications to
become a grocery bagger.” That people feel comfortable sneering about
grocery workers—a respectable job—and writing off Snowden’s years
working as a security guard as sloth tells you a bit about the culture
of the nation’s capital, doesn’t it?
But he didn’t finish high school! Actually, Snowden earned a general
equivalency diploma (GED), but that hasn’t stopped his detractors from
spitting this accusation like an epithet. On Wednesday’s Late Show With David Letterman, Tom Brokaw dismissed Snowden as
“a high school dropout who is a military washout.” On Tuesday, Sen.
Susan Collins, mocked the 29-year-old man as “a high school drop-out who
had little maturity [and] had not successfully completed anything he
had undertaken.” Yes, if only he had gone to Harvard or Yale like our
last four presidents, who have done such a bang-up job running the
country....--HotAir quoting Kirsten Powers
Hmmmmm.
So here's the question: How did this critter get hired by Booz, Allen and work at the NSA for four years?
Here's another question: How many more just like him are on NSA's direct or indirect payroll?
There's something fishy going on here.

ReplyDeleteYou're not SERIOUSLY trying to say that what Snowden did and is doing is bad, are you? If so please forgive me if I say that I am disappointed in you.
Really, good sir, you of all people should be on the man's side and not listening to the ravings of the Big Government swine who are trying to take our minds off the shocking revelations. The man has exposed for all the world to see that we are as close to a police state as was ever thought possible and the best you can do is call him a lying twit?
I respectfully urge you to dig a bit deeper into this story.
Hmmm. Perhaps irony doesn't translate well in pixels. The first sentence in my post was ironic (or snarky)....
ReplyDeleteSnowden has some cred problems. But that doesn't detract from the 4000-lb. gorilla of NSA/Obozo domestic snooping at all.
