"MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry sees some value in the information brought to
the public's attention about NSA surveillance, but really, really hates the
man who leaked it. On her show today, Harris-Perry scolded Snowden for
fleeing the country to carry out his act of civil disobedience rather than
staying in the United States and facing the consequences (in this case,
being charged of espionage against the government). She compared Snowden to
Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, North Carolina protestors, and, I
swear to God, even Wendy Davis."*
It seems Obama Derangement Syndrome - the common Republican belief that
Obama can do nothing right- goes both ways with some Democrats believing
Obama can do nothing wrong. What kind of illogical rhetoric are TV news
hosts using to vilify edward Snowden and protect NSA spying? Cenk Uygur
breaks it down.

*WikiLeaks attacks Obama's 'thin-skinned vindictiveness' in Snowden row*

WikiLeaks has accused US President Barack Obama of “thin-skinned
vindictiveness” after European governments denied airspace to an aircraft
carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales because of suspicions it might be
carrying US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.
Julian Assange has also condemned the bugging of Ecuador's London embassy,
where he is living, after Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino
announced that a listening device had been found in the ambassador's office.
In an extraordinary move, France and Portugal revoked flight clearances for
the Bolivian President's plane on Tuesday after representations were
reportedly made by the US State Department.
Mr Morales was flying home from an energy conference in Moscow and his
aircraft was hastily rerouted to Vienna, Austria.
Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca angrily denied that Mr Snowden
was on the President's aircraft, a fact later confirmed by Austrian
authorities, and said France and Portugal would have to explain why they
abruptly cancelled authorisation for the flight.
"We want to express our displeasure because this has put the President's
life at risk,” he said.
Bolivian Defence Minister Ruben Saavedra, who was also on the flight, said
the airspace denial was “a hostile act by the United States State
Department, which has used various European governments."
Mr Morales had said he would consider granting asylum to Mr Snowden if his
government received an application.
Countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America have spurned asylum requests by
Mr Snowden, despite a call by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro for the
world to protect the former US intelligence contractor.
The 30-year-old American is in legal limbo in the transit area of Moscow's
Sheremetyevo airport, unable to fly out because he has no legal travel
documents and also has no Russian visa to leave the airport.
He has reportedly withdrawn his request for asylum in Russia after
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said Russia would insist that he stop
"harming our American partners".
WikiLeaks, which has been assisting Mr Snowden's requests for asylum after
he leaked top secret information about the US National Security Agency's
global surveillance programs, described the whistleblower's case as a
geopolitical bellwether.
Noting Mr Obama's observation last week that he was “not going to scramble
jets for some 29-year-old hacker," WikiLeaks accused the US President of
lying, and added that he “may have alienated an entire continent as a
result of your thin-skinned vindictiveness.”
Mr Assange, who plans to run for the Senate in the Australian federal
election, called on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to denounce both the airspace
denial and the bugging of the Ecuadorean embassy in London, which he said
violated the integrity of the embassy and his own rights as a publisher.
“Australians want to know whether Prime Minister Rudd is principled enough
to denounce this conduct. Let us see,” Mr Assange told Fairfax Media.
Mr Snowden's request for safety in Ecuador, which has sheltered Mr Assange
in its London embassy for more than a year, appears to have run into a
major obstacle after President Rafael Correa said his government would only
consider an asylum request when the applicant reached his country's
territory or one of its embassies.
Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Mr Patino on Tuesday announced that his
ministry had found a listening device in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
"We are infiltrated everywhere," he told a press conference in Quito,
adding that he would "request explanations" from the country that had
installed the microphone.
Mr Patino said the listening device had been found in the office of newly
appointed ambassador Juan Falconi Puig during the Foreign Minister's visit
to London last month. Published photos show the office was used for
discussions between Mr Patino and Mr Assange.
Mr Patino said the Ecuadorean government's internal communications, such as
emails, were being obtained “by various means” and handed to the media,
including a letter from Mr Snowden to President Correa that was published
in the media before it was received by the President. He said he would
reveal further details on Wednesday.
