(12,530 posts)Notable exceptions notwithstanding, the President does enjoy protections here that Greenwald's does not. This is not in question. Nor was there any assertion that this was GG Underground or that Greenwald's deserves some elevated status. He does not. This in no way means that it's societally acceptable to go on ranting screeds that lie about the man.
Item next, you didn't quote me accurately. I talked about those who LIE to score points against the President. If someone wants to point up a transgression they feel the President has made, that's one thing. If they lie about the President, that's a different matter entirely.
I notice that you never addressed what I identified as my main point: LIARS. I believe it would add a little something to the conversation if you were to go ahead and address the main point.
Oh, and thanks for reminding me that this is Democratic Underground. I'd like to belatedly welcome you. How long have you been here?
