The Real Villain Is The Silent Majority, Not Ed Snowden

Last edited Wed Oct 16, 2013, 03:17 PM - Edit history (1)

Amidst the hoopla surrounding the lauding of Edward Snowden by former NSA and CIA officials last week, it seems that the real problem isn't that people like Snowden emerge from the shadows of cubicleville, but that there are so few Edward Snowdens.

To wit: What's a "Real Villan"? And what's the context for "Silent Majority"? Also a bit unclear as to what's meant by "the shadows of cubicleville".

Just curious...

are those who have been attacking Snowden and Greenwald while ignoring or supporting the government spying. Truly reprehensible cowards and morons who are as low or lower than teabaggers.
