Pelosi Booed By Liberal Activists Over Comments About Edward Snowden

Said the NSA whistleblower broke laws

SAN JOSE, Calif. — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was heckled and booed by liberal activists Saturday when she said that Edward Snowden broke the law when he revealed classified information about secret surveillance programs.

Another round of disapproval came when the former House speaker said Americans' rights to privacy must be balanced with the nation's security needs.

Snowden "did violate the law in terms of releasing those documents," she said during a luncheon Q-and-A on the closing day of Netroots Nation, an annual gathering of thousands of liberal activists and bloggers.

The crowd erupted in boos.

Yeah, in San Josey, but not in SF. The shoe-lickers in SF aren't about to admit that hag hasn't a brain cell between one ear and the other.
When she shows up at a Giants game and smells up the place like the tide's out, the lefties still cheer.

"smells up the place like the tide's out"

I'm going to have to remember that one.

Yeah, Snowden broke laws. NSA, CIA, FBI, Congress, et al broke constitutional limitations. I think they need to pluck the telephone poles from their own eyes before griping about the fleck of sawdust in his.

[John Galt]

Very biblical.

Someone's had one botox injection in the cerebral cortex too many times.

The Constitution is the basis of all laws in this country.

By all means, try Snowden. And try everyone else on the far more serious charges of violating their oaths of office.

He had to break the law to find out what was in it.
