It's Getting Close Folks... Greenwald, Naming Names....

96. Well, it was kinda' bizarre, the poster was calling out Willy as a right winger trying to bring down

Obama.

It came pretty much out of nowhere which was the bizarre part, I tried to question why the poster felt Willy was a right winger, or how he was trying to bring him down, I suppose you can extrapolate a bit from what is left of the exchange that left me on ignore.

I think someone was having a bad day and was too angry to post coherently, I also think it was good that the poster self deleted as it was just stuff posted in anger that perhaps was regretted at least somewhat after calming down a bit. We all have bad days, at least the statements were self-deleted showing perhaps the comments were not really meant in earnest.

Why I was placed on ignore is probably also due to the bad day thing and perhaps was not quite as earnestly felt either.

We all make mistakes, WillyT is obviously not right wing and has no apparent record of "trying to bring Obama down".
I imagine after reflection much of it was regretted (unless there is history I am unaware of).

I don't know, but nobody got hurt, words are only words after all, that is not to say that I don't vehemently disagree with the posters stance on the whistle blowing, but many of us strongly disagree with each other on a host of issues. Willy does not seem the type to hold a grudge. I hope the behavior doesn't continue tho as it distracted a great deal from the news of the article about to come out that was posted and is being discussed here.

On edit, I think there was one other that should also be deleted, blowing that cartoon mistake so out of proportion as to consider it proof of the accusations is a pretty nasty smear.
