the cartoonish thinking of the NSA apologists

Apart from lying America into war in Iraq twice, Panama, Nicaragua, Vietnam...

all the talking points present and accounted for.

Sad but true...

posted here. A memo of NSA talking points! Lol! They are all over the internet.

I really do not have a problem with people who are genuinely conflicted. They generally do not use talking points. But it's not hard to distinguish between the two.

There are a relatively small number of people who are trying to trash Snowden, and these same people show up on every thread.

The same thing is true on gun control and most other controversial topics.

It is a bully tactic. Make a lot of noise and yell at anybody who wants to have a reasonable conversation. Try to create such a commotion that people don't recognize that nobody really supports the bully.

the sophmoric attacks on the leaker's personal life.

their face on a rat cage!

But if they were it would be secret.

You made me ruin yet another keyboard.

that isn't about you.

He is a member of liberal blogs and has been, like Greenwald, for a long time. Both have always been popular here in the US with the Left, not so much with the Right. Still are thankfully.

Most Democrats were very much outraged and with good reason during the bush years:

it appears the patient's colon was impacted with six panels he ate prior to showing us his work.



He should feel much better now.

K&r

because I believe if there is a chance that I can make them think a bit and gradually changed their world view , then, I have done something positive.

Most people don't think that deeply, or have the pure of motives. Good for you!

I have limited patience with their shenanigans.

Use your energy on something that might actually make a difference.

as the number of misogynists I've had to put on mine.

we need to willingly give up what it is that makes our country great in order to keep our country great.

Dude, these posts are supposed to be PRIVATE.

And now I find out some cartoonist has been reading them without my permission.

I'm outraged!

use the correct word, Whistle Blower as often as possible. I wonder what the consequences are for a journalist not obeying the Government's orders regarding their use of words?

And has anyone in the media disobeyed them so far?

They just don't want to do their job and ferret out the story.

"under the bus he goes". Yep, it's beginning to be crowded under there.

We're going to need a shitload of new busses soon.

'under the bus' were over-filled when Dubyah had the hot seat...

He got ALL of it! I with I could rec this x1000!

Totally surreal that this is what's happening...further down the rabbit hole...

got some good ones this past week. Why must all of our humorists be the ones to point out how quickly our democracy is crumbling? Is it a continuation of the Court Jester meme?

Which is why I tend to use humor and snark in my activism(Learned it from St. George Carlin). People are taught to believe that cartoons and comedians are too silly to be telling the truth, but I learn more watching John Stewart(most days) than I do watching any "normal" news program.

Not unlike the brutal way OWS was treated. You can tell when the PTB is truly concerned when they tip their hand in such ways.

And terrifying.

C'mon, Dan!

'Fess up!!!

there was someone posting as "tomtom". I always thought that was Mr. Tomorrow.

Why would anyone want the terrorists to win?

Let's not forget that privacy is a thing of the past anyway so we might as well just get used to it.

Sensible thinking see . . .

Snicker

Cuz that will make us more free, right?

and he KICKS MORE ASS than do I!

Quit being so mean and hurtful you hysterical, hyperbolic, hair-on-fire, poutrage lefty!

If you took out the drawings and just posted the statements it would look like any number of threads here on the subject, at least for long stretches, especially when two or three authoritarians gang up in one thread.

not as well written...

"Tell me you didn't just say that."

Award winning. Or, award deserving, anyway.

My guess is, look for TT's biggest critic and loudest Obama supporter and that would be him

there are some of us who actually understood from the beginning that ANYTHING you put online is there FOREVER.

When you step outside, you are monitored by multiple cameras. Because you are no longer in your "private space" but now outside in a public space.

So, when you go on a public site and you give them all your private info - why in the hell do you think you have private rights in a public place?

Stupid.

..........................Tom Tomorrow is a traitor
....................................and a coward!!!

The people may freeze or starve but at least they are safe.

when it all goes sideways.

A DU post brought Sparky's List to my attention and I signed up. Gets you early access to the cartoons along with incredibly insightful commentary that everyone ought to read (unfortunately my understanding is that it's part of the value proposition for Sparky's List so a lot fewer people see it than I wish could)
