I am so tired of the left propping up Ed Snowden as one of OUR heroes. Has he not said or done anything that is not out of the Ron Paul right wing libertarian play book? Has he been involved in any truly leftist struggles...against white supremacy, racism, global capital, patriarchy, etc. etc. has he spoken out on the US history of genocide of American Indians? Has he had anything to say about George Zimmerman, about stand your ground, about mass incarceration? Get over this absurd love affair with a man who didn't tell us anything we didn't already know.
I needed to say this, so I am using my ipad to say it, since my computer is down.
Below are some links, I would suggest you who believe in Ed Snowden as a hero should glance at.
NOTE: I am posting these links not because I endorse the comments or view expressed in them, but merely because they each contain either the direct words of Ed Snowden or display an action of his.
