Awww. Nancy Pelosi got booed at Nutroots Nation (oops, sorry Netroots Nation.) Botox Pelosi declared that Edward Snowden broke the law for daring to let the American people know their own government was spying on them. I can’t wait until a video of this booing of Pelosi pops up. Netroots Nation is a political convention for the far left fringe and is and is organized by Daily Kos. Scary that I would actually agree with these far left kooks on something like Snowden.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was booed onstage Saturday when she said former government contractor Edward Snowden broke the law by leaking classified documents on National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance programs.
Speaking at the NetRoots Nation conference in San Jose, Calif., Pelosi told the audience to reject comparisons between President Barack Obama and his predecessor, President George W. Bush, on their oversight of surveillance programs. The top House Democrat said Obama is poised to reveal “in another few days, a few more proceedings” of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Pelosi received the loudest boos and heckles from the crowd when she said Snowden had run afoul of the law by leaking documents to the media on a pair of secret NSA surveillance programs.
“He did violate the law in terms of releasing those documents,” Pelosi said, drawing a thunder of boos from the crowd at the progressive conference. “I understand, I understand, but he did violate the law. And the fact is that, again, we have to have the balance between security and privacy, and we don’t know what sources and methods may have been revealed, which is a tough thing.”
