Quinnipiac Reveals MOST Americans consider Snowden a hero.

Excerpt:

National (US) Poll - July 10, 2013 - U.S. Voters Say Snowden Is Whi | Quinnipiac University Connecticut

merican voters say 55 - 34 percent that Edward Snowden is a whistle-blower, rather than a traitor, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

In a massive shift in attitudes, voters say 45 - 40 percent the government's anti-terrorism efforts go too far restricting civil liberties, a reversal from a January 10, 2010, survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University when voters said 63 - 25 percent that such activities didn't go far enough to adequately protect the country.

Almost every party, gender, income, education, age and income group regards Snowden as a whistle-blower rather than a traitor. The lone exception is black voters, with 43 percent calling him a traitor and 42 percent calling him a whistle-blower.

There is a gender gap on counter-terrorism efforts as men say 54 - 34 percent they have gone too far and women say 47 - 36 percent they have not gone far enough. There is little difference among Democrats and Republicans who are about evenly divided. Independent voters say 49 - 36 percent that counter-terrorism measures have gone too far.

Some of the largest growth in those concerned about the threat to civil liberties is among men and Republicans, groups historically more likely to be supportive of governmental anti- terrorism efforts.

"The massive swing in public opinion about civil liberties and governmental anti- terrorism efforts, and the public view that Edward Snowden is more whistle-blower than traitor are the public reaction and apparent shock at the extent to which the government has gone in trying to prevent future terrorist incidents," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"The fact that there is little difference now along party lines about the overall anti- terrorism effort and civil liberties and about Snowden is in itself unusual in a country sharply divided along political lines about almost everything. Moreover, the verdict that Snowden is not a traitor goes against almost the unified view of the nation's political establishment."

gotta love it - another proof who is the stupidest voter in the country ( I am talking about 43 and 47 respectfully).
low-information voter in it's full bloom.

Though the second group ( 47-36) is the dumbest, obviously, the first group is at least even ( 43-42)

good. and a whistleblower for the establishment

Were Snowden a hero, he would have stayed to face the charges for revealing the extent of the domestic spying. He did not, he ran first to China, and then to Russia, and will most likely end up in Venezuela. Some damned hero.

Either the act of leaking this information was heroic, or it wasn't. Whether he gets thrown in a hole like Bradley Manning is irrelevant to that question.

He'd be dead by now, just like Hastings.

A hero DOES NOT run from his problems. That is the tactic of a total chickenshit.

You are quite the moron if you haven't figured out by now that I despise Obama.

Shame you can't articulate a reasonable response without defaulting to mindless innacurate insults.

As he should, you Loyalist. Even if you're opposed to Obama, you are clearly aligned with the government, via the GOP instead. Loyalist.

I'm sure there are plenty of threads insulting him, but feel free to make one if you have that much of a problem with it.

How hard is it to get through your THICK PARTISAN SKULLS that you can be AGAINST the policies of spying WITHOUT idolizing some fucking low level snitch that subsequently runs like a fucking coward?

Or are you all just the damage Obama at ANY expense crowd?
