I want to apologize for my stupid comments in the Glen Greenwald threads.

[ProSense]

14. Oh

In Greenwald's own words
"She defends assassinations, ridicules drone killing of children - he said: there's nothing you won't defend: even THIS"
"It wasn't a joke of any kind: it was a *deadly serious point* about blind defeders of evil acts"
"It is NOT a "rape metaphor": it's a statement they they'd defend ANY evil: assassinations, child-killings: EVEN rape"

If he had joked about raping nuns, I'd be outraged. The opening he left his relentless attackers was acknowledging someone else's comment about their slavish devotion after they viciously attacked him as being a racist and had their little click retweet over 1500 times.

Refuse. To. Take. The. Bait. cause that particular twitter group is on mission against anyone who won't look the other way and they've been ramping it up for months.

The stupidity displayed in yesterday's thread wasn't yours.

...please! He did joke about rape, and no amount of rationalizing is going to justify it, and especially not implying that those who were appalled displayed "stupidity."

DrDawg: AngryBlackLady g_p_g ggreenwald emptywheel ABL, Obama could rape a nun live on NBC and you'd say we weren't seeing what we were seeing

GG: No - she'd say it was justified & noble- that he only did it to teach us about the evils of rape.
