1. Who cares about Greenwald?

No, thanks.

[Glorfindel]

2. "@mekosoff" deserves all the vitriol and abuse she has received and will receive

I give a couple of "Vanity Fair" subscriptions to cousins, but I'm on the verge of asking them if they wouldn't prefer something else. "Town & Country" or "Verandah" might be a better alternative.

3. Glenn who?

4. Greenwald who?

6. Screw Greenwald eight different ways. But the VF piece was a collection of joke resolutions for...

six or so different public personalities including Trump. Not very funny, but not offensive, either. The people angriest about the piece never bothered to even look at it.

If Hillary runs again I will support her all the way.

17. Nope, it was also tweeted out multiple times as a stand alone piece.... so they got that reaction to

it. I agree it would have been a milder reaction if they did a mash up of the other politicians, but what I saw was all about Hillary- and sexist AF.

[marble falls]

21. Nope. Heres one they did for Sarah Huckleberry Sanders:

They did Trump and three or four others, too. Its too late to look up the others but the Clinton one was taken down.

I saw several of them but they left me all meh.

22. Unfortunately it looked like the Clinton one got more play- typical cheap shit.

You seem not to realize that Hickabee is a serial liar- and that her roasting was well earned. But HRC being told to go home and knit? Fuck that. Real democrats don’t play that sort of false equivalency “it’s all the same” bullshit- especially since it’s all the GOP does these days.
I’m shocked to see it here, such stringent defense of trashing Dems.

[Hekate]

7. Oh, GG. How can we miss you if you won't go away for-fricking-ever?

[StevieM]

8. It is so ridiculous to portray the HRC supporters as the ones who are spewing vitriol.

Ever since the GOP stole that fraudulent election the Hillary-haters have been relishing the opportunity to spew venom at her every chance they get. They have completely trashed her entire campaign, and her entire career, and proclaimed themselves validated.

They were actually getting ready to do this in 2008 when it looked like she was going to lose the New Hampshire primary. Then she won and they were forced to back down and basically admit that everything they had been saying was a lie.

11. Whoa. Wait a minute.

I've heard nothing about this Vanity Fair thing until now. Was it an article or a video? And when was this? Can anyone direct me to it? Please.

[gratuitous]

16. Vanity Fair tried its hand at comedy

It didn't go well. I think the video has been taken down.

12. GFYS Greenwald

13. VF was taking a lot of heat last night for their stupid video of people telling Hillary

what she should be doing...one suggestion was take up knitting.

VF has lost the plot.

[PragmaticDem]

14. I am glad people see Glenn for what he is.

A hack!

[Gothmog]

15. Who cares about Greenwald?

[Wounded Bear]

18. The worst part about assholes is that they don't allow anybody to fight back...

everybody is just supposed to suck it up and take it and not respond or counter attack. That certainly applies to Trump and his RW syncophants, but it applies to all bullies, everywhere.

19. Here he is agreeing with Steve Bannon and getting his ass kicked for it

20. "Begin with the end in mind"

Mekosoff should brush up on the lessons of Steven Covey.

[maxrandb]

23. If Dems and Progressives have learned ANYTHING, please let it be

to Fight the FUCK back "Always, Often and Repeatedly"

No slight, no insult, no bullshit story, no "bothsiderism"...NOTHING is too small to respond to, vehemently!

I will retake the "high road" as soon as we kick the living shit out of Retrumplicans and their fucking Nazi enablers all over this god damn country!

24. Who thinks that Greenwald is on the left?

Greenwald is critical of actions jointly supported by Democrats and Republicans, writing: "The worst and most tyrannical government actions in Washington are equally supported on a fully bipartisan basis."[71] In the preface to his first book, How Would a Patriot Act? (2006), Greenwald opens with some of his own personal political history describing his 'pre-political' self as neither liberal nor conservative as a whole, voting neither for George W. Bush nor for any of his rivals (indeed, not voting at all).[72]

Bush's election to the U.S. presidency "changed" Greenwald's previous uninvolved political attitude toward the electoral process "completely", and in 2006 he wrote:

Over the past five years, a creeping extremism has taken hold of our federal government, and it is threatening to radically alter our system of government and who we are as a nation. This extremism is neither conservative nor liberal in nature, but is instead driven by theories of unlimited presidential power that are wholly alien, and antithetical, to the core political values that have governed this country since its founding"; for, "the fact that this seizure of ever-expanding presidential power is largely justified through endless, rank fear-mongering—fear of terrorists, specifically—means that not only our system of government is radically changing, but so, too, are our national character, our national identity, and what it means to be American."[72]

Believing that "It is incumbent upon all Americans who believe in that system, bequeathed to us by the founders, to defend it when it is under assault and in jeopardy. And today it is", he said: "I did not arrive at these conclusions eagerly or because I was predisposed by any previous partisan viewpoint. Quite the contrary."[72]

I am the same age as Greenwald. Any overprivileged dipshit who took a couple of decades to develop any sort of politics, he shouldn't have been trusted in the first place.
