This stands in stark contrast to ProSense's screeds, which provide recursive links to her previous screeds as well as carefully edited excerpts of Greenwald's articles that supposedly "prove" whatever misleading point she is trying to make. For example, posting Greenwald's discussion of Ron Paul's anti-war rhetoric without including the paragraph Glenn wrote stating how he abhors the rest of Paul's policy platform.
I've been reading Greenwald's column since the Bush years, and he has been consistent in his views on civil liberties and in his criticism of those who would abrogate them in favor of imagined security. ProSense, in her own mind, somehow thinks that she is providing some kind of erudite take-down of Greenwald. Quite the opposite. Her arguments are easily countered - and have been, multiple times - but like the other members of the shout-down-the-critics cabal, ProSense is in no way interested in participating in a good faith argument of the merits and shortcomings of any issue. She's here to try and spin the issue in favor of the Administration, and this becomes rather obvious as she spams every single thread that questions the actions of the Administration.
