Citizenfour : this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

how could it possibly be considered left wing bs? are you saying rightist values include the devaluing of civil rights? the right of a government to rule like a post-orwellian god? who do you work for sir? not even the perpetrators of these evil acts would claim that the political spectrum has a spot that allows this. only a oligarchy would allow it.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

You have a point, but what makes it Left wing BS is that it is in the hands of Glenn Greenwald.
It is not that Greenwald is even a Leftist that bothers me he is a Leftist troublemaker that
throws in all this Palestinian stuff, and other things that do not really have anything to do with
Liberalism or Progressivism in other words, he is a phony in my opinion. He is trying to
make the Left look stupid, and make Snowden's information look Left, and discredit the whole
thing while giving out the least amount of information he can. Greenwald is slimebag in my
opinion, at least until I can see a corrective trend in his work.

In other words, you don't like what Greenwald writes about so you come onto sites to trash him personally.

Snowden and Greenwald are heroes in the truest sense of that word. We know who they are - they don't come onto boards to slander others.

Not at all as far as this movie, it sucks, that is why I "criticized" him.
The movie sucks and has NO information content except for in about
4 minutes, but still he does not go into or share any of the documents
Snowden appropriated.

But sure, go ahead and make up your irrelevant comments and spew
them out with no meaning.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

As I pointed out to you in another thread, you have made it abundantly obvious that you did not watch Citizenfour with an open mind. Your judgment about this film is meaningless.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

He's right; this movie sucks.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

I'm a liberal.

Having said that, you don't steal classified secrets and sell them to the highest bidder if you want to claim innocence in the matter. That's what spies do.

Surveillance is a deterrent, but not if you send the goddamn enemy the enigma code. What Snowden did is akin to sabotaging out tactical bombers because hey they're 'bad things that could hurt people'. Well, that's the reason we have them.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

There is no evidence whatsoever that Snowden sold the material that he collected to anyone.

Re: this is a civil rights story, not partisan polotics

That's true but giving it away for free doesn't make it any better. It's one thing to reveal domestic spying of ordinary citizens, it's another to reveal everything he did.
The fact that he may be a "true believer" doesn't make it any better. Treason due to moral beliefs or for monetary gain is still treason.
