Glenn Greenwald POPPED Tim Geithner in the chops, way before it was cool. [View all] Octafish Jul 2013 OP

So, now ALL of Greenwald's episodic writings are fair game railsback Jul 2013 #1

And another contentless comment on the journalist rather than on the content of the OP. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #4

Tax payers are being forced to PAY to hear Greenwald say what he's always been saying for free. railsback Jul 2013 #9

Tax payers were forced to pay for the gambling debts of the Wall St crooks and so far, not one of sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #12

Do you ever post anything but snark? Do you qualify as "politically liberal"??? nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #17

If its 'snark' to point out blatant hypocrisy and cherry picking railsback Jul 2013 #23

No, it's truthful to point out blatant hypocrisy and cherry picking which I just did in this thread. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #28

Right... railsback Jul 2013 #32

You haven't been keeping up. YOU all made it about Greenwald, so all we are doing is cooperating now sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #33

LoL, now its OUR fault that Greenwald is the focus railsback Jul 2013 #35

Exactly right usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #85

So, let me get this straight.. railsback Jul 2013 #114

Seems the last people to see hypocrisy railsback Jul 2013 #36

Every post by that one seems to be substance-free. Even that poster's initial post in this thread xocet Jul 2013 #70

Your not cherry picking? Katashi_itto Jul 2013 #107

Greenwald called for Cheney and the rest of the war criminals to be prosecuted. Did you? Octafish Jul 2013 #39

Greenwald defended Citizens United railsback Jul 2013 #62

Nobody's perfect. From what I read, he wanted to protect individual rights. Octafish Jul 2013 #77

i hear he's on the cover o the next issue of Tiger Beat! dionysus Jul 2013 #2

I hear he's going to be on the Pulitzer Prize list for Journalist of the year. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #16

but how far down the list will he be? Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #24

That's possible, but that is more likely to go to someone like Bradley Manning, Assange or Snowden. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #29

I hear what you are saying. I guess I have to gather my thoughts for another post Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #38

You guys are looking more and more desperate with your sad ad hominem comments. nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #18

what, i'm simply using the exact same catchphrases you guys have used. oh wait... dionysus Jul 2013 #58

He deserves more than that just for this article on Washington immunizing lawbreaking Telecoms. Octafish Jul 2013 #44

I bet lots of people will be putting that picture on their bedroom walls!!!!! DevonRex Jul 2013 #61

While people were marching in the streets against the Patriot Act and the Iraq War.... Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #3

I love it when one of the six talking points outlined by Greenwald himself, arrive in every thread sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #6

We can bring up old information about Greenwald supposedly popping Tim Geithner in the chops Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #11

Yes, we can bring up facts. Are you saying this did not happen? sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #14

I didn't say it didn't happen. Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #48

Okay. Yes, it was admirable that Greenwald, as a private citizen no one had ever heard of, sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #59

I'm not using his honesty against him Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #69

Not getting your point at all. You are using his words admitting to his error in judgement re sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #78

I'm really not getting you either Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #81

Well you could post the words you claim are 'hypocritical'. We only disagree if there are words sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #82

It's OK to disagree on an anonymous message board Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #84

Of course it is. But when you post something that no one seems to understand, and you can't sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #89

I don't really understand your point either. Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #91

Greenwald wants people to believe he's a truth teller. Avalux Jul 2013 #22

Just for accuracy, when was he 'busy supporting Bushco'? sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #31

I don't care about elected Democrats. This conversation is about Greenwald. Avalux Jul 2013 #42

The NSa apologists have to get their stories straight. Some say that Greenwald lies at every breath, rhett o rick Jul 2013 #79

And so was Ms. Clinton. Is that all you got? I smell desperation. nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #19

It was wrong for Clinton to support Bush and it was wrong for Greenwald. Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #52

I agree. Are you willing to forgive Ms. Clinton and support her bid for the presidency? nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #55

No. n/t Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #66

So who are you interested in for President? nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #92

It's too early for me to think about that. The next Prez won't be sworn in until 2017. n/t Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #112

And so were most Democrats burnodo Jul 2013 #47

It was wrong for Dems to support Bush and it was wrong for Greenwald. Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #53

well try to hold Dems accountable first burnodo Jul 2013 #56

I have gone after Dems for their support of Bush Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #67

She may not be under the bus yet, but "The Group" avoid posts about her like the plague. rhett o rick Jul 2013 #37

Who is "the group" Avalux Jul 2013 #43

Well it's a kinder label than others use. And I have a hunch you know what I mean. nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #46

Sorry I've annoyed you. Avalux Jul 2013 #25

No need to apologize, you haven't annoyed me in the least. I love this stuff unlike many other DUers sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #41

Then we've been working together for a long time. Avalux Jul 2013 #45

Oh, I don't share your pessism. I see plenty of critical thinking around the Left forums these days, sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #57

why do you not consider him to be a journalist? frylock Jul 2013 #15

Journalists uncover and report facts without interjecting their own opinion. Avalux Jul 2013 #26
