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.”

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.”

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.

135. Care to point out Elizabeth Warren's ringing endorsement?

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?
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

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

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

I can sense it right now with Snowden and Nader.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
