It sits there in Greatest Threads, smearing DUers who dare question Snowden and Greenwald. The OP asserts such DUers say Guantanamo and privatization of national security are "all right" because "Snowden and Greenwald are libertarians." How the fuck did THAT survive? I wonder if it was even alerted on.

The problem with sane folks putting Snowden threads on ignore is that you don't even see them to alert on them. Also, when you have someone on ignore, you can't be on their jury. That is how many of our offensive gungeoneers manage to survive on this board. And many of our gungeoneers are also some our most vociferous Snowden worshipers.
