Finding common ground. If you promise not to use the NSA scandal

[fried eggs]

to:

1. Insist that Democrats = Republicans

2. Make hundreds of "Fuck Obama" or "Fuck democrats" threads

Then I think you'll find that the Snowden divide on DU will simply disappear.

1. Yep. There are plenty of policy similarities with Dems/GOP

No need to use the NSA revelations to insist there are no differences between party policies

2. Classic red herrings - stinky fish wrapped arguments that put it all on the critics. Nice try.

3. This OP is not very nice to those who don't approve of Snowden.

You seem to be accusing them of using fallacious logic. Seems to me that you're saying people only argue against Snowden because of an unrelated situation.

4. That's not what the OP is saying. People should be able to have differences

of opinion with regard to Snowden, or even with regard to Obama's/Congress's handling of the NSA, without accusing each other of not being Democrats, not being progressives, or otherwise resorting to personal insults.

5. I very much agree with the body of your rebuttal,

but my interpretation of the OP is that those who don't agree with Snowden, and argue against him on DU, do so because other posters claim the Democrats = the Republicans and President Obama is a bad person.
