What you just described is called a superiority complex.

Look, it doesn't take a genius to see your obsession with Greenwald and Snowden's pasts and associations has something to do with the NSA leak. You pretending your threads have absolutely nothing to do with character assassination and trying to diminish their claims and statements by playing the guilt-by-association card repeatedly is either a sign that you are extremely dense, or that you think we're all stupid.

"You can't be serious? You're so confused you're contradicting yourself."

Can you read? I made a very clear point that I made the post because you have a habit of using logical fallacies to distract from the issues. Someone has to call you on it. If the fallacies weren't there, I wouldn't have made the post.

Was that easy enough to understand?

It's not called killing the messenger ... it's frazzled Jul 2013 #21

If Snowden tortured as a spy we wouldn't be having this conversation think Jul 2013 #25

Huh? frazzled Jul 2013 #27

It was a reference to Robert Lady.... think Jul 2013 #40

No, it IS killing the messenger. Really it is. Every day, all hours of the day. nt Mojorabbit Jul 2013 #62

If Greenwald defended Tom fucking Tancredo, I'd say that's GREAT cause for concern. Arkana Jul 2013 #132

If the fucking NSA broke fucking laws is that not important? think Jul 2013 #137

Didn't say it wasn't. Arkana Jul 2013 #146

If George Bush came forward with facts of war crimes against Cheney think Jul 2013 #148

No, but I'd wonder what Bush's motives were since I don't trust him given his past. Arkana Jul 2013 #149

You started the lectures, I merely responded. last1standing Jul 2013 #74

And what exactly does this have to do with whether GG is right or wrong about the NSA? NuclearDem Jul 2013 #16

It has everything to do with my opinion of Greenwald. Is that OK? n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #22

If you didn't have a history of digging up dirt on Snowden and Greenwald, I might believe that. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #28

You don't "believe" it has anything to with my opinion of Greenwald? ProSense Jul 2013 #33

Hypocrisy by who? When have I ever done that? NuclearDem Jul 2013 #37

The "you" was not referring to you specifically. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #111

That's why I said "someone," and thanks for acknowledging that you made the point. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #120

Yeah, I think we're done here. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #122

Have you considered that Republicans are obstructionists and Obama doesn't control congress? cui bono Jul 2013 #32

A good point, unfortunately one that had absolutely nothing to do with what I said. NuclearDem Jul 2013 #34

I didn't think the sarcasm tag was necessary there. :) cui bono Jul 2013 #41

And you won't change anyone's opinion with contextless smear tactics. last1standing Jul 2013 #66

Oh, there's context, and I'll continue posting my opinions. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #68

You seem really stuck on the "Chamber of Commerce." Are you a member? n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #79

It's your "opinions" that always seem to line up with theirs, not mine. last1standing Jul 2013 #80

You're the one insisting you know their opinions. I have no idea, and don't care, n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #82

No offense, but that's the silliest argument I've heard in ages. last1standing Jul 2013 #85

No, you keep telling me about the CoC's opinions. I assume you know what you're talking about. ProSense Jul 2013 #86

Yes, I do know what I'm talking about. It's called being informed of the issues. last1standing Jul 2013 #87

You're probably really knowledgeable about free speech and opinions too, right? ProSense Jul 2013 #89

Again yes. last1standing Jul 2013 #127

Cool, so you'll allow me my opinion? n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #128

So you linked to Greenwald when he posted conservative crap but don't now that he doesn't? last1standing Jul 2013 #53

No...I linked to his drone stories. Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #54

Maybe you should read his intro to that column where he talks about his changing beliefs. last1standing Jul 2013 #57
