Can Edward Snowden prove he didn't

[Capt. Obvious]

rape and murder a young girl in 1990?

It's a legitimate issue that should be vetted.

I'm not saying this should influence your opinion on the NSA leak but I'm just asking the question.

What is he hiding?

[Mr. David]

1. I thought Glenn Beck did that, not Snowden..

but I could be wrong as I heard that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

[Laelth]

13. I have seen no evidence that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. n/t

-Laelth

[KoKo]

26. It's Joe Scarborough...that dead girl in his office where he didn't run for Congress Again!

Maybe the poster confused the two...

Don't know about Glenn Beck, though. I've never watched that show...and don't really know what he's about.

[DirkGently]

2. I heard his preacher has said some radical things ...

... and he once worked with a former bomber of empty buildings.

All adds to up to "Trust the NSA" if you ask me.

[KoKo]

27. "Preachers" have Huge Influence.....Armageddon is coming! It's actually HERE!

"THEY" are going after our TELECOMS, OUR INTERNETS, our FOX NEWS..

Them Leftists are MORANS! Their TERRAISTS Activities are BRINING DOWN OUR AMURICA...and I CAINT STAND IT!

3. He would have been 9 or 10 year old. Or, is that the point?

Can he prove he wasn't the Captain of the U-boat that sank the Lusitania?

[Capt. Obvious]

4. Or the Lindbergh kidnapping

[still_one]

5. So are you implying legitimate questions should not be asked about him? I am not talking about your

not so clever remark about rape

I am talking about real flaws in his story

We should not take anyone or a government view on anything without full evaluation

[Capt. Obvious]

11. Are you saying this is not a legitimate issue?

This may be more legitimate than his dropping out of high school.

6. DOB: June 21st, 1983 - he was seven years old in 1990.

You forgot the sarcasm icon - and the true believers/apologists who don't sully their "minds" with pesky facts will spread this falsehood far and wide.

The Guardian. Retrieved 10 June 2013. "The army did confirm Snowden's date of birth: June 21, 1983."

[SunSeeker]

10. Yes, and six years old in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square protests.

Maybe that is why he stupidly said that "Hong Kong has a strong tradition of free speech."

[reorg]

14. Interesting

I was under the impression that Hong Kong was still under British rule in 1989.

Wikipedia stupidly(?) states that:

Hong Kong law provides for freedom of speech and press, and the government generally respects these rights in practice. Freedom of expression is well protected by the Hong Kong Bill of Rights.

[SunSeeker]

16. Hong Kong is part of China, the same China that killed Tienanmen Square protesters.

Way to miss the point. Even before Hong Kong switched over from British rule, it was no free speech mecca. It is simply wrong to claim, as Snowden does, that Hong Kong has a praiseworthy "tradition of free speech," even though it is part of China and has been ruled by the authoritarian Chinese government for decades now, the same government that committed the Tienanmen Square atrocity.

[reorg]

17. perhaps he chose Hong Kong instead of Shanghai

because it is a "Special Administrative Region" and "has a different political system from mainland China" which provides "constitutional protection on various fundamental human rights and freedoms. Specifically, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is given a constitutional status through the basic laws."

18. OFFS, even Snowden now realizes he was stupid about Hong Kong.

He has skedaddled from his fancy hotel room in Hong Kong, hot on the heels of the Chinese government hinting they would extradite him.

“He won’t find Hong Kong a safe harbor,” Ms. Ip said. “Those agreements have been enforced for more than 10 years. If the U.S. submits a request, we would act in accordance with the law.”

19. The safeguards in the extradition treaty with respect to political offences

are similar to those in the extradition treaties with European countries. You may remember that all the Assange haters here have been screaming at the top of their lungs that he'd be safe in Sweden because they would never extradite him, due to the fact that the alleged offense was political in nature. The extradition treaty with Hong Kong makes the same exception. In addition, China could object to any extradition from Hong Kong if they chose to do so:

China does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

According to notes on the treaty submitted to the US Senate, the Hong Kong negotiators had insisted on including clauses making it easily possible to deny extradition to the US, arguing that such a clause was essential in obtaining mainland Chinese approval for the treaty.

As such, article 3 of the treaty allows the Chinese government to refuse surrendering a person if it thought the surrender "relates to (its) defense, foreign affairs or essential public interest or policy".

Hong Kong can also refuse if the city or the mainland have begun proceedings for the prosecution of that person. Hong Kong can reject an application if the city felt that the request was "politically motivated" or that Snowden would be prosecuted for his political opinions.

22. China reports uptick in Rape of Pit Bulls...that's why he sought Refuge there...

He was after Choice Pit Bulls to Rape.... Sheesh...Poster posts without link to cast "seeds of evil weeds" and thinks we here are clueless.

[reorg]

29. true that

why else would he seek refuge with a people of dog-eaters?

[div style="width:20%;"]

[SunSeeker]

32. Well, Snowden couldn't have sought refuge in Hong Kong because he objects to surveillance...

Hong Kong has some of the most expansive civilian surveillance laws in the world.

So much for Snowden's stupid praise of Hong Kong's "strong tradition of free speech." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/10/edward-snowden-basic-liberties_n_3414824.html

And looks like the only country that appears to be entertaining the idea of giving him asylum is Russia, where you can't fart without Putin knowing about it.

Are those enough links for you?

[LondonReign2]

7. Just rape and murder?

I mean, I also heard he wasn't a very friendly neighbor

[QC]

8. I hear that he was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. n/t

[KoKo]

23. I hear that he was in Dallas and was the "Umbrella Man"

[Catherina]

9. Can he prove he didn't wear a condom? n/t

[KoKo]

24. He wore it and it was "torn" and his partner kept it and carried it to the Police!

There was semen DNA in it...and she preserved it in her freezer!

[Whisp]

12. we need more information.

I am going to take the word of President Obama over Glen Greenward's or this Snowden guy. Most likely like all the bagger hatched 'scandals' against the President for all these years, and especially now that he is in his last term this one too will fizzle out to be concocted of half lies and half truths.

[bigtree]

15. I see what you did there

. . . as diverting as anything else.

Is the obvious actually relevant?

[Monkie]

20. i heard he was personally responsible for faking the moon landing too! n/t

[KoKo]

21. Wasn't there a post here that he "Raped a Pit Bull?" Devastating!

[DirkGently]

25. There is a rumor he once ate a sea bass with Al Gore.

Obviously the whole "vast domestic spying" thing is therefore balderdash.

[KoKo]

28. OMG...thought you were Lying...but..I GOOGLED IT..and IT's TRUE!

Can you imagine...breaking "SeaBass Flesh" with AL GORE! He must have done TWEETS to FAUX News about that One! It SPREAD ALL OVER THE INTERNETS!

[KoKo]

30. Incredible VENT POST...it was helpful..I think for many of us.

K&R

[In_The_Wind]

31. I thought we had to prove that he did.
