Snowden interview thread

[-Jrabbit]

Just saw the Brian Williams interview with Edward Snowden on NBC.

After all the one-sided characterizations in the wake of his data theft, it was great to see Snowden get a platform to lay out his perspective on everything. He came off as intelligent, thoughtful, focused and concerned. A pretty fascinating hour of TV; apparently there's more on the Interwebs.

John Kerry says he's a traitor

Hillary voted to invade Iraq

Obama got fleas somewhere

[-Jrabbit]

What are we playing, "find the relevant statement"?

How about this:
John Kerry looks like he had a bad face transplant.
Hillary is special -- the only FLOTUS ever to be subpoenaed by a grand jury, the only FLOTUS to run for public office. Fun fact: She also sat on the board of Wal-Mart back in the day.
FLEAS? THANKS OBAMA.

I was on the whole "John Kerry's face is messed up" thing since he got named to secstate.

Do they call it "secstate"? I know for defense they try to be all cool and say "HEY LOOK, it's SECDEF!"

"You better get your **** in order or else SecDef is gonna bust a cap in yo ass!"

"What about SecState?"

"Just don't look directly at his face"

I think Snowden's interview with Putin says far more about his character.

[Sava]

I admire Snowden just for the whole "getting it out there is more important than my personal reputation"


but damn these lectures from the motherland are annoying as all ****

I will be interested once it appears on youtube so the rest of the world can see.

I thought he made excellent points. I especially loved how he slammed the Obama Administration talking point claiming Snowden should have tried to "report abuses through the chain of command" before becoming a whistle blower. As it turns out Snowden DID, multiple times, to multiple people going progressively up the chain of command as he went so this is a CLASSIC whistle blower case in every way, shape, and form. The man needs a medal for service to his country not criminal charges for upholding the constitution and exposing criminal activity.

Only 3 there and they're all relevant

Kerry called him a traitor and Hillary voted to invade Iraq so she could run for Prez (she got primaried) and not only does Kerry support her, they both served under Obama. Nobody in this administration should be throwing around the traitor label, they ignore the malfeasance surrounding the Iraq war and accuse the critics exposing it of treason. They can go to hell, voting for Hillary is no better than pissing on the graves of those who died because people like her lied us into war.

I don't disagree. It just seemed an odd response to the OP.

"Snowden's data theft"

What else would you call it when someone uhmm "takes" something that isn't there's?

[N35t0r]

Yeah, all that stuff belong to there, and now somebody took it away.

[Berzerker]

I don't disagree. It just seemed an odd response to the OP.

true, thats just me responding to Kerry's hypocritical trolling

and I didn't mean that part about pissing on graves, politics is hell

[Felch]

I like Snowden, but I wish he hadn't taken the data to Hong Kong and then Russia. It would have been better if Obama had just offered amnesty in return for keeping all that business out of foreign hands.
