Per his first tweet—who are these Pro NSA liberals? (I consider myself an anti-Snowden/anti-Greenwald/anti-theft-of-classified-documents- by-some-dork liberal, but not particularly pro NSA)

They’re a strawman army Greenwald often does battle with.

And per his last tweet—what were the tea-party GOPers screaming then?

I think it’s a “no true scotsman” sort of thing. My impression is that he’s defined the Tea Party so narrowly it now only includes the four GOP “aye” votes (since he’s long been invested in the narrative that the Tea Party supports his agenda).
