Q: He [Snowden] is seeking refuge in Countries with abysmal human rights records... and he even went so far as to say he wanted to congratulate the leaders of Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Russia for standing up on this issue and being protectors of human rights... Given their records domestically... is that not hypocritical?

Why is anyone watching MSNBC? It's literally ObamaTV.
I still haven’t gone through all of it... ...the most significant revelations are yet to come... ...the stuff that has shocked me the most is the stuff we haven’t even written about... ...the more viscerally shocking these revelations are, the more pressure there will be on members of Congress and the media to take it seriously and to act...

Do you deny that Snowden is seeking asylum in countries with reputations for dismal human rights?

Not at all. In fact, that's about the only chance he has for refuge.

You ask that as if the US is sterling. Are you under the impression that the US is not doing anything wrong?
Just the fact that Snowden has to take refuge in these countries that have a reputation should make you wonder. If the US was so sterling why doesn't he come back to it as a whistleblower with protections?
Oh that's right. He can't.
Because the US has become abusive in itself in the name of keeping us "safe" from terrorism.

The United States is a terrible human rights violator. We kill people all over the world, assassinate our political opponents and promote an empty and decadent lifestyle.
I would take Putin over Obama in a heart beat as my leader. Russia is what the US used to be.
I can't believe you see our big brother government as "free". What a joke.edit on 2013/7/18 by Metallicus because: eta
you have got to be a member that was planted here or something. I'm in awe at the moment.

And he thinks that's an improvement? A better place to be? A place where people are much less free than they are in America? Maybe he plans to work for their government so he can rat on them too. Then where will he go?

Come on now... you are smarter than that.
If you think REALLY hard you may come up with an answer to that one.

But if you mean I can't kill whomever I want or steal from whomever I want, than I guess you'd be right.

My thoughts are that he didn't think this through very well from the start and now he's stuck taking anything he can get. I really think he assumed he would be hailed as a hero. Lol

You mean he's lying about these other countries to save himself? What a principled guy.

Well THAT I would totally agree with. I think he is a narcissist who craved this attention, and mistakenly thought he would be worshipped by all. Maybe he thought they would even name a holiday after him. He's not as smart as he thinks he is. And he's not as angelic or principled as he claims to be.

Wow, way to put words in my mouth. The 'free' country of the US is the only entity I said kills its enemies. I certainly don't believe in killing except in self-defense.
You also finally identified that chip on your shoulder. You are a bigot.
