Glenn Greenwald Like A Boss

85. Surely you don't disagree...

...about the litmus test aspect of this case. I have rarely if ever seen a case on DU that was so predictable in who takes what position.

Of course, I think that my position is the correct one. And that, of course, implies that I think people who take the opposing position are incorrect. That's what happens when you get off the fence: you end up on one side or the other, possibly shouting at those on the other side.

But I said nothing about anyone "failing" a civil liberties test; I merely observed that we're coming down on different sides of the issue. You won't hear me calling anyone a Nazi over it. I'm not trying to demonize anyone. My remark about the litmus test was not intended as an insult to those who fall on the other side of the issue; merely an observation that this case really did put the divide into stark relief.
