I've made an important decision re: Glenn Greenwald

[MannyGoldstein]

Fellow Progressives:

After much reflection, I've decided that I will NOT be backing Glenn Greenwald for the office of President of the United States.

Reading DU these past few days, it's been impressed upon me that Greenwald did not oppose the Patriot Act, and did not oppose going to war in Iraq.

Incredible! Unbelievable!

As bad as that all is is, it would be easily excusable if it weren't even worse: the slimeball has actually admitted it was a mistake to do these things. What kind of sick, demented sociopath admits they were wrong about such a thing?! A person with judgement that poor should never, ever be given the power to make war.

Now, I'm just one voice. But I'm sure that there are others who realize that, as much as we'd otherwise want Greenwald in the White House, it's just too dangerous a proposition. Please join me in pledging to DENY Greenwald the Presidency.

Regards,

Third-Way Manny

2. It was probably a mistake for him to have gone into the journalism business in the first place.

I mean, he keeps making statements that apparently are very easy to misinterpret. A seasoned journalist would know better how to use the written word.

He should have stayed in the porn business.

9. I also have a theory that he's a Jew

My people are following up on this.

[11 Bravo]

3. Relax, GG's not interested in the Presidency. He would have to take too big a pay cut.

Hey, did you hear? He's working on a new book!!!!!

[Luminous Animal]

4. Actually, the book will be out in a few days. It's Amazon's Best Book Of The Month (May)

5. I'll pre-order the kindle version now! thanks for the link.

[Luminous Animal]

8. You're welcome!

7. Elizabeth Warren also wrote a book.

I cannot back her, either.

10. George W. Bush doodled in the margins of his books.

Does that count?

[n2doc]

36. So did Obama

Several, in fact. Good thing he can't run again!

But what the hell do we do about this?

[Whisp]

24. and in a month there will be another book by GG:

Called: I Didn't Really Mean That The Way It Sounded In My Other Book.

When after some scrutiny, holes as big as the moon appear in his stories.

37. It won't be a book. It will be a series of tweets.

11. Bundy racism = BAAAAAAAAAAD. Greenwald racism = GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD...

No really, this guy shouldn't have quarter here....

The parade of evils caused by illegal immigration is widely known, and it gets worse every day. In short, illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone. Few people dispute this, and yet nothing is done.

[MohRokTah]

12. Cool story, bro. eom

[malokvale77]

13. I too have made that decision

If he ever should decide to run for the office of POTUS, I might redecide (is that a word).

[marble falls]

20. Of course, then you'd be the redecider.

[malokvale77]

21. LOL

I redecide all the time. I am very open minded. Isn't that the very definition of "liberal"? No road blocks here.

I needed the laugh. Thank you mf.

From now on, I am the Redecider. I like it.

[RobertEarl]

14. You are way behind the times, Manny

GG, nor anyone else will be running in 2016. Obama is gonna declare martial law and become dictator. I can't believe you haven't read about this before now.

[MannyGoldstein]

22. ???

I thought we were supposed to keep quiet until code Bob Dobbs was declare.

[RobertEarl]

23. Gawd, I forgot

Oh, geez, they'll be coming for me now. Is the safe house still open and in the same place?

[MannyGoldstein]

30. Relax.

Nobody reads DU.

[RobertEarl]

35. Yes, of course

Many of those who pretend to read DU don't actually read DU. We see them all the time on your threads.

Still, there are a few Obama people who really can read and if they do read DU then they will of course get the wrong impression, because, hey, we're just kidding, right? Uh, right?

[DirkGently]

18. And his truth telling is super inconvenient sometimes.

Screw that guy and his "relevant facts."

[WillyT]

25. You Sir... or madame... Are A DU Treasure !!!

And...

I got nothing else... except...

& Rec !!!

[MannyGoldstein]

29. You're cut off.

Give me the keys, we'll call a cab to take you home.

[WillyT]

31. Dude... I Can't Find My Keys !!!

Now what ???

[MannyGoldstein]

33. We dance!

[OilemFirchen]

26. I've made an important decision re:MannyGoldstein

I'm going to add "in bed" to every one of his utterances to see if they become interesting, informative or clever.

"After much reflection, I've decided that I will NOT be backing Glenn Greenwald for the office of President of the United States in bed."

Nope.

"Reading DU these past few days, it's been impressed upon me that Greenwald did not oppose the Patriot Act, and did not oppose going to war in Iraq in bed."

Drat.

[MannyGoldstein]

28. Somewhere in South Philadelphia a puppy is vomiting.

Are we having fun yet?

[OilemFirchen]

32. What the fuck did you feed it?

Bastard.

[msanthrope]

39. The Fortune Cookie Game!!! I love that one! nt

[bemildred]

40. Totally. Greenwald can kiss my vote goodbye. nt

[Jakes Progress]

41. Not so fast.

Suppose GG were the official Democratic Party nominee. DU says you have to.

Blind obedience in all matters is always the best course.

[Douglas Carpenter]

42. me too, I pledge right now to not back him for President of the United States
