Neither the story itself nor the actual title of the piece is about Snowden; whoever submitted the link to HN highlighted the comment by Snowden in their own title. Did you click the link? Did you read the article?

It's even more ironic when you consider that Greenwald has criticized others in the media for focusing more on Snowden and his day-to-day actions or location instead of the NSA revelations.

You are exaggerating a bit, aren't you? The story is quite directly related to him, so what's wrong with asking about his opinion?

Stop assailing our great leader Snowden Christ.

Hmm... its possible for people to miss even massive changes in culture at the point of inflection.

I personally felt it this morning when I was getting ready to reply to an email to a friend with a cold-war joke that in times past I would have never thought twice about sending. I didn't send.

Obviously you should have remembered to use the term "Dear Leader". Get it right next time.
