1. I don't think anyone is a "follower" of Julian Assange like he was Jesus or something.
I believe that people can see journalistic whistle blowing and make up their own minds on the material that they are reading without being some kind of "follower"
2. I'm not familiar with Clinton cartoons on wikileaks. I've never even been to the page. Just watched the reports on them on the various news channels. So I can't comment on any derogatory cartoons.
I can only tell you the FACTS that Assange exposed the Bush administration. Sean Hannity called him evil and vile and a criminal. The liberal press called him a "hero" (including Maher).
THEN he exposed the Clinton campaign.
Hannity IMMEDIATELY started praising him and the liberal press started attacking him.
You tell me...do ANY of these politicians, news entertainers, newspapers, and Hollywood stars have ANY real foundations or beliefs?
I don't think they do. It's all "team sports" to them.
If it's Republican, then Democrats HATE it.
If it's Democrat, then Republicans HATE it.
I believe that the country would be a better place if we could all take each issue and judge it on it's own merit.
If a media outlet or politician or Hollywood star thought that Assange was a hero for shining a light on political wrongdoing in the past...that concept of revealing the truth should not change when he does it again.
You have already said you NEVER liked that concept.
Fair enough.
I'm simply pointing out that the politicians, the media, the celebrities are all showing their total and complete hypocrisy and shallowness over everything to do with President Trump.
And they did the exact same thing with President Obama. And Bush. And Pres. Clinton. And Reagan.
And probably every other President since the end of WW2
It's getting to a point now that it's getting so bad that it's dividing the entire nation. That isn't a good thing.
We need to be able to debate subjects intelligently.
And how can we if nobody is really sure what is "good" anymore?
