50,000 signatures, they supposedly need 50,000 more.

I guess as Edmund Burke once said "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." And less than 1% of America cares, I bet if the bill of rights were to go for a vote it would not survive today.

He needs no pardon, as he committed no crime. Exposing criminal activity is not a crime.

I say we build him up and put him on a pedestal, then slowly by slowly deconstruct him and pick him apart, and find out what is most human about him, then have him socially destroyed by Friday.

I don't think it is about putting him on a pedestal. At this point, as long as he is free and alive-that is enough. Obama has the ability to arrest him or anyone on this forum and lock them up indefnitely-no charges or proof needed. They are alreayd saying they can't find his whereabouts-is he hiding or our govt got him and has him stashed somewhere?

No that's just what we(the media) do with everyone we label as a hero. Especially if they didn't ask for the attention, that brought them into the spot light.

Golden Voice homeless guy
Barefoot hobo in NYC
"Yo Check it out, I used to BBQ with that Dude!" Guy
Wiki Leaks guy hero then turned rapist
Is there anyone we haven't done it to?

biggest liars on the planet - "They say".

He lost alot of cred with me due to the route he took to play his hand.
BUT, he gets cred for having the sack to standup and be targeted.
He loses some cred if it turns out he used personal political views to trigger his action and not duty .. ala the deviant from wiki leaks.

I think Lord Barry and his Chi-Town thugs will not leave quietly ... they, and those who support them, will gladly reduce the White House, and America, to a smoldering pile of rubble if they cant have a Christian Free America... that is what they (liberals, progressives, sexual deviants, demoncrats) want and need, because the light of truth is not in them.

Government will probably try to publicly destroy his character, just watch the news closely. It'll come up on major media channels. Julian Assange was accused of rape, this young man will probably be accused of some other national tabu. It's how our government plays that propaganda game.

If they are not out with something nasty by friday, they are falling behind.

why didn't he fly straight to Iceland. too many feminists waiting to nail him?

Y'all sign one for Bradley Manning?

Whistleblowers are usually on quicksand. Ones with Top Secret clearance doubly so.

I didn't know they had petitions online. And I know writing letters is pointless. I wrote to the president in 2010, I have not gotten a response yet 3 years later.

Top Secret data was entrusted to persons who exposed it without approval to persons without clearance. So in the broad strokes I would expect that any government would press charges, to prevent every person with a security clearance and a grudge from feeling like they can get a free pass too.

if he ever used the "N" word, or drew a picture of the one whos name cant be spoke, peace be unto him, then he will never see the sunlight again!!

I wrote to my senator and told him not to do the bank bailout.
He voted yes, anyway.
Now once a week, he sends me his news letter, telling me all about the good fight he's fighting in Washington.

It's like having one of those play toys with pull string in the back.
'cept I expect it to sing "happy happy joy joy" but instead it recites the saddest story on earth.

That's because we get to vote on a person and their campaign slogan, not on what they get to do.

In some form this is plutocracy, because I've seen plenty of times when government just shoved their ideas down our throat even if we did not want it. Obamacare comes to mind... today it's NSA...

Precisely why I prefer democracies to republics. Republics suffer from all the problems of democracies plus the problem of corrupt politicians.
