Terrorism Under Veil of Journalism is Still Terrorism [View all] michigandem58 Aug 2013 OP

Teenagers have 'boyfriends' leftstreet Aug 2013 #1

Homophobes use the diminutives 'boyfriend' or 'lover,' rather than HardTimes99 Aug 2013 #10

--Homophobes-- railsback Aug 2013 #54

Excuse me, I wasn't the one who referred to Greenwald's 'boyfriend'. This OP HardTimes99 Aug 2013 #57

So you don't think gay men refer to their partners as 'boyfriends'? railsback Aug 2013 #59

Post removed Post removed Aug 2013 #63

Yeah, the stupid definitely burns bad railsback Aug 2013 #75

If Greenwald was talking about his partner, you might have a point. But he isn't, and you don't. quakerboy Aug 2013 #116

Rachel Maddow used the "boyfriend" term on her show George II Aug 2013 #130

Maybe Im wrong. quakerboy Aug 2013 #131

She referred to him as "his partner, life partner, boyfriend", about 4 minutes into the segment.... George II Aug 2013 #132

I havnt seen specific mention of being married quakerboy Aug 2013 #134

You were correct. They are married. EOTE Aug 2013 #157

....deleted and reposted, i responded to my own post, not the one I intended to respond to... George II Aug 2013 #168

Whether they are married or not really isn't the point, and it makes no difference to me... George II Aug 2013 #169

It kind of IS the point. EOTE Aug 2013 #185

They are married. EOTE Aug 2013 #156

Yes. pnwmom Aug 2013 #133

Do you think anyone regardless of gender or orientation, refers to their husband as their boyfriend? EOTE Aug 2013 #155

Ok, so then Rachel Maddow is ALSO a homophobe railsback Aug 2013 #167

Because a GLBT person says something stupid doesn't make it any less so. EOTE Aug 2013 #184

Like I said... railsback Aug 2013 #195

You're right. It's way beyond ridiculous that people continue to throw out lies and smears EOTE Aug 2013 #204

Yes, you're right railsback Aug 2013 #206

It was Rachel Maddow herself who referred to him as Greenwald's "boyfriend" - the OP... George II Aug 2013 #128

Saying someone has a 'boyfriend' is being homophobic? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #88

God damn, you can't see why this would be an issue? boston bean Aug 2013 #93

I didn't know they were married Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #94

You might also note that the 'writer' uses the word 'partner' very pointley directly after the Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #109

Every reference I've seen anywhere, including by Greenwald himself, is "partner", not "spouse"! George II Aug 2013 #118

See my other posts earlier - it was MADDOW who called Miranda Greenwald's "boyfriend", dammit! George II Aug 2013 #129

Oh my gosh Iliyah Aug 2013 #120

Amazing, isn't it? George II Aug 2013 #151

HEY! Did you even BOTHER to check out what Rachel Maddow actually said????? George II Aug 2013 #125

There is nothing homophobic about "boyfriend". Thats stupid. phleshdef Aug 2013 #191

Rachel used the term boyfriend Nancy Waterman Aug 2013 #158

I usually like The People's View but I disagree with this post Number23 Aug 2013 #25

To whom was he "pedaling" documents? Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #30

Every reasonable account says he was the relaying info to Poitras and Greenwald Number23 Aug 2013 #32

What do you think the definition of peddling is? Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #47

The documents were stolen. They will ALWAYS be stolen. Wrap your head around that. Number23 Aug 2013 #50

And the Pentagon Papers were stolen and they will ALWAYS be stolen... Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #56

And what EXACTLY does that have to do with the current discussion? Number23 Aug 2013 #62

Characterizing journalism as terrorism (see the title of the OP) is persecution. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #70

There is probably a very good reason that you have decided to "bless" my posts with your Number23 Aug 2013 #72
