Again, to stress, While I'm glad that the extent of NSA Domestic Spying has come into common knowledge (though for most FReepers, it has been known for years), any sympathy I had for Snowden ended when he disclosed specific Chinese IP addresses that NSA hacked.

But I do find it funny that the netroots libtards find it stylish to not approve of this. (Of course, one should ask if this would have any impact on them voting for Ø in the future...)

Pelosi booed for saying NSA leaker Snowden violated the law

Politicians do it all the time. Snowden would make a great politician.

[grania]

Snowdon is a whistleblower, now trying to stay out of the grasp of a government that labelled him a traitor. I hope he finds safety and a somewhat normal life somewhere....and not in US courts and prisons.

Let's go after the real traitors. That would be those that allowed the deaths at Benghazi to happen, and that includes those who planned events that led up to it.

Snowden may have spilled secrets to the chi-coms and the russkies, but so far the ONLY thing I've heard or seen is that he just confirmed that the 0bama regime routinely, on a daily basis, violates every American's rights outlined under The Bill of Rights.

I'm sure this may cause a little embarrassment to the regime and may even irritate emperor Hussein, but it DOES NOT AMOUNT TO TREASON, quite the contrary. Those members of the Hussein 0bama regime, including the kenyan usurper himself, are committing TREASON by violating MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

"the real crime is outsourcing our national security."

Madam Speaker once again speak with forked tongue.

She is right that was a crime.

For Pelosi it is a crime to have ANY workers working that are not in the mind numbed robots hired by the public sector or if in the private sector, it is a crime if they are not unionized.

The crime is that the spy state grew so large collecting data on EVERYONE on God's green earth, that it had to look for IT guys under rocks that are twenty nine year old slackers with more brains than the normal Big Brother indoctrinated products of public education.

Hey you Twisted Little Sister, cut the crap, size matters to you, and you like Big Brother big, real BIG.

It’s always nice to see Queen Nancy get booed.

“The fact is that you should reject any notion that President Obama’s actions have anything to do with what President Bush was doing or was done,” Pelosi said, adding that there was no Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court under the Bush administration.

PS :

HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI (D-CA), who organized Democratic support for the bill in the House, said that she supported the bill primarily because it rejects BUSH’S argument that a wartime chief executive has the “inherent authority” to conduct some surveillance activity he considers necessary to fight terrorism. It restores the legal notion that the FISA law is the exclusive rule on government spying, she said, and added:

“This is a democracy. It is not a monarchy.”
