The Statist Big Govt types sure are spending a lot of time trying to discredit Snowden
You either support Snowden....or you support Obama
“So in two weeks we know everything about Snowden - his truths and lies.......five years since obama was elected still we know nothing about obamas past or his present and
ten+ years since he has actively been involved in politics and we know nothing.”
Worth repeating.
Based on Sam Wurzelbacher in 2008 I'd guarantee you are correct.
If its a distraction, the republicans are apparently in on it.
Bull, my friends son has been working for DOD since sophomore year... he went on, but they would have kept him if he had chose not.
I had the same thought. Is the military now reduced to planting straw-man stories into the mass media in an attempt to smear Snowden?
In the meantime, they don't need to snoop through my personal communications. For Pete's sake, man, keep your eye on the ball.
LOL. NOBODY has replaced JC.
,,,and we all follow the media over the cliff. People can lie about themselves and tell the truth about where they work. We’ve all seen that. I believe this guy. I don’t have to like him or raise him to the elevation of hero to believe the rotten, stinking Obama Administration.
Can you imagine the Left on this? They’d be giving the guy the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yep.
The reports I’ve read suggest that Snowden was injured early in his Army training. Perhaps in Basic Training because the reports said “discharged a matter of months after enlisting”. There just isn’t enough information to declare this “a lie” yet. Worth looking into, I agree.
He also was not make 200k. He made 122K.
I want Traitor Roberts to fess up. It could be an ongoing issue and Roberts needs to go public to get it to stop.
Sounds to me like the Fort Benning training was en route to potential further training to join the special forces, so that’s not necessarily a lie.
Also, I don’t know, but would his GED not meet the requirement that he be a high school graduate?
On the surface this seems like a trumped up claim to undermine the guy’s credibility.
Look over here! Look over here! The guy didn’t graduate from high school! He can’t grow a beard! He has bad breath. George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction! Oh, wait. Different argument.
It is so sad to see the personal attacks on this man. I didn’t know taking an oath meant you have to keep criminal actions by the government against it’s citizens secret. Paul Revere would be crucified by some on this site.
Dunno. Who is the CIC, again?
I agree. The allegations against him may be true or false. Perhaps he may have something to say about them. If so, I hope it is better than what presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said when confronted about her claims to have come under sniper fire in Bosnia, when she said little more than that she "misspoke."
In any event, his veracity should be weighed against what he disclosed about the spying on us, not something else.
This seems to be a classic case of "Play the man, not the ball." That's OK for sporting contests, but this is rather different.
So was copper Clapper's lying a clever caper?
“began a training program to join the Special Forces”
Never said he was in SF, said he was in a training program to join SF.
