He hit a nerve. And they are scrambling to discredit him so anything else released is not believed.
If he was just a fake they would not give him the time of day.
He has them worried. That is very telling!

(31,233 posts)a good idea to go on the teevee machine quite so often. Kerry & Feinstein should stay away from current events, it's so unbecoming.

(31,233 posts)feel a little bit embarrassed, right? How the hell do you get big book, movie deals, and score precious interviews with Vlad without drawing "attention"?

just because there are mulitple Kerry threads involving comments on Snowden doesn't mean that is how much time Kerry himself is actually spending on it.

(116,464 posts)the sentiment is: Leave Snowden alone!!!
Kerry was being a meanie calling for him to return and face justice.
Snowden is great! A patriot! Clever! He's Super Snowden, able to leap above all criticism with the help of his loyal supporters.
LOL!

(39,961 posts)That has them shitting bricks because it will likely be very obvious it has nothing to do with terrorism. Also, government officials that are on the list will be forced to do something about it, even if they already know about it and approve, because they lose all credibility if they don't.
They are all crapping in their pants.

He's doing it right, and that is why so many are pissed off at him.

Just as hubby Richard Blum managed to get at least 750 millions of dollars of contracts for his construction firm off the war in Iraq, sometimes through her leaking sensitive information to him that she gleaned from her top position on the Senate Defense and Intelligence Committee(s) so too does she know that the Total War on the American People regarding Surveillance Against Them is yet another monetary win for her bank coffers.

She's doing more Press Ops this week.
Just started Elizabeth Warren's Book...so far it's a great read...but just into the first chapter.

At least it appears that Democratic Underground is coming around to appreciate the selfless acts of these modern-day patriots. And the public, in general, is still confused. Given the amount of spew from the M$M, not surprising.

(401 posts)This is the pom-pom girl for the National Surveillance State and an embarrassment to the state and her constituents. Her "oversight" is a joke. She referenced "secret intelligence" fed her by spook agencies to support Bush's invasion of Iraq, information no one ever heard of again. Neither her honesty nor her judgment is worth a box of used cat litter.

"He hit a nerve. And they are scrambling to discredit him so anything else released is not believed."
He has the upper hand?

it STILL appears on the pages of DU parroted by those who feel the need to demonize a Patriot.
