Excuse me, but I seem to recall there was quite a bit of hooey made over "warrentless wiretaps" in the '08 election by the left. Bush lied, and all that noise.

Excuse me, but I seem to recall there was quite a bit of hooey made over "warrentless wiretaps" in the '08 election by the left. Bush lied, and all that noise. Where is the goddamn noise now? I am wishing that the Left wasn't so full of hypocrites and WOULD actually take to the streets in protest and be the nuisances they normally are. But it's their guy in the WH, and noone likes to admit their guy is a screwup. Go camp out in a park and defile it with your filth for Justice! Make a big stink, do a #2 on a cop car in protest!

What makes you think Democrats are the "Left?" They are sometimes slightly left wing compared to the Republicans, but on the whole the two major parties are right wing parties. Leftists who support Democrats come up with cowardly excuses about the "lesser of two evils" because they are too terrified that the wrong lizard will win. The rest of us, an unfortunately tiny minority, vote third party.

You're not paying attention. Just about every liberal nexus on the internet is enraged regarding this. Ironically, those who have labeled Snowden as a traitor are generally conservative leaning thinkers, whereas almost every liberal in existence has embraced Snowden as a hero.

  I was half joking in my post, I hope that was clear. I did not know there were physical protests going on. I suppose the media isn't as willing a partner on this issue and isn't helping to spread the word. Normally, one disgruntled hipster with a bone to pick can make the news, might need to call in the wto hooligans... Definitely some wagon-circling going on here by those in power who seek to maintain that power.

Topic dilution. Shall we also include everything that has happened in the history of internet commenting?
