Now that I think of it, I remember seeing him at some award show. He was standing on a RED carpet. RED, now does that make it clear?

He's a damn commie. We need to all call Congress RIGHT NOW.

in a leftist plot to discredit Obama with lies - think about it, they go way back and their ODS leftist views have been apparent for quite some time.

somehow all of them are from both extremes trying to rebuild the Legion of Doom. Since both extremes love each other so much. And all that.

because Firedoglake criticized Obama, the logic being:

IF: Teabaggers criticize Obama
AND: Firedoglake posters criticize Obama
THEN: Teabaggers and Firedoglake posters are the same

Yes, I realize that it's ridiculous, but these people aren't big on the whole "logic" and "reasoning" things. They're HARD, and it's so much easier to just use these instead:

If I've read it once here, I've read it 100 times. Greenwald does nothing but lie--Snowden too for that matter. I never seem to see a list with any proof of any of these lies, but that must just be coincidence. Besides, the alternative--that the people accusing Greenwald and Snowden of lying are themselves not telling the truth--well, that's just too ugly to contemplate.

They've seen no evidence. Whatsoever. And, if they DID see some evidence, then it's so old, it's been going on forever, and Bush did it.

Whoever is paying for all this is wasting their money. My guess, considering the style of these rapidly occurring smear campaigns.

The childishness of it all reminded me of the HB Gary's emails on how to smear Glenn Greenwald. He's had more influence, the very thing they were hoping to prevent, SINCE their little scheme was discovered than he ever might have otherwise.

It's hilarious that they think it might have some effect other than get even more support for the targets of their attacks.
