After the open attacks on Greenwald and the 'I found out he's gay' shit, all who do that smearing and snarking stuff when there are authentic arguments to make are self defining and instantly rejected. Too many DUers went way too far when they pulled out the attacks on a man for residing in another country due to our immigration laws. That tactic is hateful. I say again, hateful. Not one of the Greenwald attackers stood against that tactic, not one of you posted in that thread to oppose the method. Discredited, discriminatory, and without merit.
If that annoys you, take it up with those who started with the slanders. Those who introduced his sexuality into the discussion and those who did not speak out against that attack from the 'anti Greenwald' side of things.
I don't read the man, I recall that he was too nice to GW years ago, and I thus do not read him. Still, I'd not attack anyone for that which they do due to hateful laws and discrimination. Many of you will. And I reject that method and all who use it or snicker on the side lines when it is used. The silent helpers of the hate speakers are also discredited.
So it is time to get some new methods. Personal smears are shitty. It is that simple. And those who took it too far created this situation, where I will not listen to any such crap at all. Some here will say that which is not true, some will attack a person for who they are. Fuck that. Rejected. Dismissed.
