So will Matt Tibbi and Glen Greenwald apologize that they jumped to the wrong conclusion, when they

[still_one]

accused the Democrats of using "Joe McCarthy tactics", "falsely blaming Russia for interfering in our elections", now that the Flynn phone phone recording and transcript has been released?

1. GG deserves no serious consideration: he's just a troll, who sows whatever discord he can,

hoping that the libertarians will benefit

[shanny]

10. y'know, just an fyi: there's a difference between

"libertarian" and "civil libertarian"

[brush]

13. Never thought of that. What is the difference?

[shanny]

14. look it up

I'm sure you can figure it out.

[brush]

17. O-k-a-y. Just thought I'd ask you since you seem to know.

Not interested enough to rummage through kookdum to discern their varying shades of difference.

[shanny]

19. no prob...

it isn't actually a difficult concept

[Nitram]

26. Shanny, you really are an arrogant fellow, aren't you? Someone nicely asked for a clarification and

you dismiss it with a snide quip. Someone else has the common courtesy to help out, and you snarkily "congratulate" the person willing to share some insight. What is your problem?

[shanny]

28. Maybe.

Or perhaps I think the question was asked in bad faith. I have my opinion; you are welcome to yours.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Well, I'd say it is a basic distinction all political followers would find worth studying. . nt

[struggle4progress]

18. "Civil libertarians" are people who support the so-called "civil liberties," such as

freedom of speech and freedom of assembly

"Libertarians" are the proponents of a free-market ideology that preaches government regulation is unnecessary because the free market will magically ensure better results

[shanny]

20. bravo! well done

[czarjak]

25. It's been magic every time a government has been founded on it?

[struggle4progress]

15. just an fyi: GG is a libertarian

he's been affiliated with cato, he's supported gary johnson, ...

y'know

[shanny]

16. sure

[struggle4progress]

21. Have fun trawling!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

24. I think the OP is referring to Matt Taibbi

[Hekate]

2. Nah, that would require personal insight and ethical behavior. nt

[LenaBaby61]

3. So will Matt Tibbi and Glen Greenwald apologize ...

[Kurt V.]

4. short answer. no

[still_one]

5. no doubt

[UTUSN]

6. K&R

[ismnotwasm]

7. Nope.

[Trumpocalypse]

8. Never liked either

Both seemed too arrogant and self-righteous.

[shanny]

9. "Tibii"? who dat?

Seriously, I recall both of them (including "Glenn" ) demanding proof of interference, instead of a bunch of people "just knowing" that is was true. That's what real journalists do....we are just not aware of it because they are not very thick on the ground.

[comradebillyboy]

11. Neither has a shred of human decency so I would never expect them

to do the right thing.

[pnwmom]

12. Never, because they're on the other side. n/t
