Pelosi: Snowden no hero [View all]
<snip>
"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is defending her criticism of NSA leaker Edward Snowden and suggests he may not have any more substantive information about the surveillance program.
“We have to know what is it that he has. And I don't know that he has that much substance,†Pelosi said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “He may know something about the machinery. I don't know that he knows that much about the content. But I think that anybody thought he was a hero to begin with, now that he's threatening in any event to share information with Russia and China, if he fact he has any information, I think that should disabuse anybody of the notion-- that he is a hero.â€
The California Democrat also pushed back about criticism that while speaking to a progressive group, Pelosi was booed when she said Snowden wasn’t a hero.
“And by the way, it was a smattering when I objected to him being called a hero. And yes, he did break the law,†she said. She added, “I think it's pretty good that he's stuck in the Moscow Airport. That's okay with me. He can stay there, that's fine.â€

133. Pelosi is a corporate shill Obama apologist
who is part of the 1% status quo and defender of the totalitarian regime that is bent on consuming this country, I'm sure.
Her and Al Franken.
Fact is, I'd take both of their views on Snowden/NSA over anyone over Greenwald or anyone on DU or Dkos.
I thought you liked Pelosi.

How about Alan Grayson?

3. Oh good.
Now we can switch gears from "I hate Obama" to "I hate Pelosi". The wingnuts want us to hate both, but I guess they'll take what they can get.

4. They hate almost all of the Democratic Party.
Be it Obama or Pelosi, it makes no difference to them. That much is clear.
Yet, you vote for them because they have a D at the end.

12. Yes that's why seeing liberals coming down on them is so satisfying
I'm sure there are freepers who have especially been enjoying some of the threads here as democrats have been in this divisive mode calling each other names and assigning motives.

I despised her long before you were a Good German in condemning Snowden.
The Cons learned one thing from Watergate. Don't look for evidence to launch a smear campaign in a shrinks office well after the whistle blower acts. Launch the smear campaign immediately with innuendo and half-truths to easily enlist the witless sheeple in the efforts.
Well played. Well played.

20. My response, as well.
She essentially covered up the Bush crimes when she refused to entertain the thought of opening a hearing.

This is the one emoticon . . . well, two emoticons that will suffice here:

Anyone got the "kill it with fire" picture?

Hell, Pelosi can't read so how does she know what he has released? Did someone read it for/to her?
