Is the government collecting data on Americans without just cause or not?
Seems that should be our focus here.
This smearing and obfuscating sh*t has got to stop.
Why? If it's effective, why stop? Look, based on what we know about not only data collection, but data manipulation (whether in cloud data or pushed onto user controlled devices like PCs, cell phones, etc) how do we know whether Snowden actually:
1. Claimed he broke his legs ie whether that story was falsely created to then subsequently refute; or
2. He break his legs, but records have been altered to imply he didn't?
As the saying goes, all is fair in love & war. Make no mistake, the federal gov't is at war with people who subscribe to the principles enumerated in the Constitution.
There is an all out effort to discredit him, just as he predicted. The only thing we need to keep in mind is: have Constitutional principle been violated by this government?
