Proud Member Of "The Glenn Greenwald Left" Here.

191. First, this OP was merely a response to an attack on the LEFT, using Greenwald as a tactic to do so.

Either you are unaware if the thread to which this is a response, or you have completely misunderstood the OP.

I asked you upthread why you suggested that GG is 'my hero'. I have never said anything to even remotely suggest that this is the case. Yet, you said it anyhow.

My defense is of the LEFT and since the attackers of the LEFT on DU chose to use Greenwald to do so, I chose to use him also. See the quotation marks around the phrase?

I have always respected your posts, sometimes agreeing, sometimes not. But finding out that you supported pro-war Republicans in a Democratic Administration, particularly in Defense, then to say he may have been the 'best choice'??

You are feeding the Republican meme that 'Democrats are bad on Defense' when you make statements like that.

And I have few heroes, very few. I have a very high bar for someone to be considered a hero and this weak talking point frankly, I would have thought, is beneath you.

See, I can disagree with people without ascribing motives I have no clue about, to them as a means of scoring points. I try always to stick to what they SAY, since I don't know them other than what they SAY here.

It makes me sad to see you sink to the level of those who are attacking the Left on a daily basis here, and I for one, will respond to their every effort to do so, as I did here. Regardless of WHO they chose to use, GG or anyone else, because they have a long list of Liberal Writers and Elected officials they have decided are the 'enemy'. GG is just one of them.
