Bam!
So Edward Snowden has now fled to… Russia? Didn't he say stuff about not wanting to live in a country that spied on its own? Still a hero?

As Twitchy reported, the NSA leaker, Edward Snowden, left Hong Kong by way of Moscow. There are reports that he will next head to Cuba and then Venezuela. What a “grand tour of U.S. adversaries,” huh?
He has landed in Moscow.

Hmm, indeed.
Glenn Greenwald is bitterly clinging to hero status.
Second look at Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela? https://t.co/WerNPy65V9 #nothelping

Wow. Other Twitter users continue to blast that narrative with simple questions and key points.
@allahpundit Yeah, when it comes to 'freedom of speech' there's no place like Russia, which keeps killing uppity reporters.

@moelane Well, two things are clear. (1) Snowden’s crisis of conscience about oppressive gov’t doesn’t extend to other countries
— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) June 23, 2013
@moelane (2) His supporters will defend any move he makes at this point, no matter how shifty or repulsive

Snowden made clear he opposes US spying on ANYONE, including foreign governments, but shown no similar concerns w/ other countries spying.

@ggreenwald this white bronco moment is more likely to reveal that "patriot" / "hero" Snowden is traveling thru all of USA's worst enemies
