[font size=5]If I could interrupt for a moment, how about... the Hate Mailbag![/font]

(by EarlG, DU Administrator)

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Democratic Underground may be a contentious place at the moment, but thank goodness there are some common truths which still bring us together[/FONT] after all these years. For example, I think we can all agree that no matter which side of the Snowden vs. Obama debate you come down on, you're a right-wing ratfucking paid-to-post shill. Amirite?!?!

Anyway, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]if you've been spending a little too much time scrapping with your fellow progressives[/FONT] in the DU bubble lately it may have slipped your mind that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]there are real right-wing assholes out there who wish for nothing more than to see us all crucified and burned[/FONT] at the stake simultaneously. (Which I've got to admit would make for a pretty sweet heavy metal album cover).

So here's the Hate Mailbag to give you a taste of [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]what conservatives are saying out there in the real world[/FONT], sprinkled with a dash of good old-fashioned WTF. Enjoy!

[font size=5]Frequently Told Lies (FTLs)[/font]

by Glenn GREENWALD

.... I'm a right-wing libertarian
Ever since I began writing about politics back in 2005, people have tried to apply pretty much every political [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]label[/FONT] to me. It’s almost always [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]a shorthand method to discredit someone without having to engage the substance[/FONT] of their arguments. It’s the classic [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]ad hominem[/FONT] fallacy: you don’t need to listen to or deal with his arguments because he’s an X. ....

'Frequently Told Lies' about Glenn Greenwald, by Glenn Greenwald. [View all] sabrina 1 Jul 2013 OP

"I supported the Iraq War and/or George Bush " ProSense Jul 2013 #1

Thanks for an example of one of the six lies. You are free to read the correction made by sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #3

"as soon as he knew we were lied to" ProSense Jul 2013 #12

Why didn't all those Democrats, Kerry, Clinton et al, know, and why have they never sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #18

Greenwald is not a member of Congress. I knew it was bullshit. ProSense Jul 2013 #21

And yet you supported for Sec of Defense a Republican who voted for the Iraq War and for Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #31

Again, ProSense Jul 2013 #38

Again, it is unfair and hypocritical on a very basic level to criticize one person for doing that Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #44

Again, Greenwald was gullible is not an excuse. He supported the Iraq war. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #45

And so did Hagel, who you felt was a great choice for Defense Sec. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #49

Again, ProSense Jul 2013 #50

Hypocritical double standard blather. There is no excuse for it. None. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #54

Yes, I opposed the war. Greenwald supported it. His excuse is "hypocritical double standard blather" ProSense Jul 2013 #58

When violate your client's privilege, it's a pretty big deal. Screwing up 26(b)(3), followed by a msanthrope Jul 2013 #43

Yes, that would be serious. Fortunately for his client, that was not the case here. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #263

That is exactly what happened here, which is why the court ruled against him and granted the motion msanthrope Jul 2013 #269

wow you are hilarious,. so the white supremacist lost,. boo hoo. Civilization2 Jul 2013 #69

Um--the New York Bar thought taping was improper, too. See post 62, referencing Glenn's case. msanthrope Jul 2013 #72

I have no idea why he is 'suspended' as opposed to 'resigned.' If I were winding up a law practice msanthrope Jul 2013 #103

You would know if you wanted to know. All you had to was to read the OP linked article. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #109

No--he is not "in good standing." He is "suspended." I am sure he has a very good reason msanthrope Jul 2013 #115

Is the NY State Bar computer in on the conspiracy to smear Mr. Greenwald? nt msanthrope Jul 2013 #116

Attorneys who are suspended are not allowed to practice law in NY State. If this was voluntary msanthrope Jul 2013 #136
