I'd like to nominate Glenn Greenwald for the Whataboutism Hall of Fame

You will note Glenn's longstanding tradition of being ANTI-anti-Trump but don't you ever dare say he supports Trump, lol...

Can I go back to living in 2015 when denouncing Nazism and pederasty were the free squares in the bingo game of political discourse? Now everybody needs their whataboutisms and conditions and still need their arms twisted because God forbid we hurt a little Nazi's feelings by calling him a Nazi...

1. Along with Cenk and Ed Schultz. (nt)

3. You were always against Wikileaks & Greenwald

and it turns out you were right.
I liked the exposure of corruption from governments everywhere but you suspected their agenda very early.

4. The info was out there...

Of course it's been much easier since the election since Assange doesn't even try to pretend he's a good guy anymore...

5. I don't remember seeing Joy's warning

She too was correct

7. Were the rape charges not enough?

Credible, multiple rape allegations, coupled with his dodgy statements, and no one thought a rapist was a liar?

When he had an anti-Semite as his main defender, slandering the victims? No one thought he was a liar?

[malaise]

8. I didn't know if he was being set up with rape charges

Look what happened to Scott Ritter

[VermontKevin]

9. Scott Ritter? 4 charges, two before he ever published, and an admitted sex offender.

Are you honestly suggesting that Scott Ritter was set up 4 separate times?

A pattern here?

[malaise]

10. I didn't have any details about him being an admitted sex offender or about four charges

If you are correct, clearly there is a pattern

[VermontKevin]

12. Malaise, in order to get parole for a sex offense you have to admit to the offense.

He was arrested in April 2001, June 2001 and then in 2009 on multiple charges and went to jail, later paroled.

It's all available online. He's an admitted sex offender.

13. Thanks n/t

11. Remember Greenwald's "nun rape" analogy?

14. Disagreeing with Greenwald means you're a gay-hating nazi!

is a "political organization which occasionally does journalism"... Holy fuck is he the hardcore contortionist...

Of course this directly contradicts everything he used to hammer Wikileaks critics the past 5-6 years, but he'll have a new twist tomorrow
