It's going to be hilarious to see the whitehouse's attempt to respond to this while not simultaneously making their case for hypocrites of the century.  

I can only imagine the cognitive dissonance occurring when they try to dismiss the pro-snowden people as right-wingers looking to score partisan points, when the issue is one that the left supposedly champions (transparency / civil liberties), and an issue the president ran on.  His words in defending the NSA could have just as easily been uttered by Bush, Clinton, etc.  If times like this don't wake people up to the fact that both US political parties are the same (authoritarian), I don't know what will.
