Ah yes, Greenwald indeed - he must have missed seeing his name in the headlines..... George II Dec 2013 #34

Same old ad hominem attack points, hunh? nt Hissyspit Dec 2013 #35

Attack points? He's referred to as an "American" journalist, why is he in South America? George II Dec 2013 #63

Where you live determines if your nationality is American or not? merrily Dec 2013 #69

Imply? Maybe I should be more explicit next time. George II Dec 2013 #89

When a poster called you out on ad hominem attack, you started talking about where he lives. merrily Dec 2013 #93

Okay, how is what I said originally an "ad hominem attack"? People LOVE to throw... George II Dec 2013 #103

Nonsense. Hissyspit Dec 2013 #107

I posted, you characterized it as "ad hominem attacks" - please explain. George II Dec 2013 #134

"He just wants to get his get his name in the headlines/raging egomaniac" Hissyspit Dec 2013 #136

You rewrote what I said, I never said anything CLOSE to what you have in "quotes"! George II Dec 2013 #147

So what were you trying to say about Greenwald? Did you not 'imply' and then double down sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #151

He's a "hypocrite" for not living in the U.S. Why? Hissyspit Dec 2013 #152

No need.. sendero Dec 2013 #145

Yes please LiberalLovinLug Dec 2013 #99

I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in New York City and now live in Connecticut.... George II Dec 2013 #149

Why is that so important to you? For your information, which is basically NOT your business... George II Dec 2013 #173

He's an American citizen. Jeez. Hissyspit Dec 2013 #106

How many American journalists have been assassinated in recent decades? George II Dec 2013 #54

You wouldn't know, you're Canadian. Enthusiast Dec 2013 #57

Rather presumptuous, aren't you? Now, as to the assassination question - any? George II Dec 2013 #62

Not that has been proven in court. But, doesn't he live with his life partner? merrily Dec 2013 #72

Yes he does, why does that matter? George II Dec 2013 #88

Where they live seems irrelevant to begin with. However, to the extent it matters at all, merrily Dec 2013 #90

Here's why? Hissyspit Dec 2013 #108

But why believe everything Greenwald says? randome Dec 2013 #111

And it's just as plausible the facts on U.S. Immigration law he points out are the reason, too. Hissyspit Dec 2013 #114

Why believe anything you say? Enthusiast Dec 2013 #125

Silly. Hissyspit Dec 2013 #137

Really? merrily Dec 2013 #94

P.S. merrily Dec 2013 #92

Well, to be accurate, Greenwald probably fled America because of the tax issues... randome Dec 2013 #64

"accurate" Enthusiast Dec 2013 #65

True, you can't believe everything a journalist says. randome Dec 2013 #66

OMG! Negotiating a payment plan with the IRS, just like merrily Dec 2013 #77

Yes, he's been 'negotiating' for years. randome Dec 2013 #80

He said it very publicly. I'm willing to take his word for it. Besides, just like we all merrily Dec 2013 #81

It's not much of an attack. The question was raised why he prefers to live in Brazil. randome Dec 2013 #83

Again, Greenwald's life choices change nothing. Point is, the NSA's activities, not Greenwald's. merrily Dec 2013 #85

There is no reason to bring it up. It has nothing to do with OP. Hissyspit Dec 2013 #112

The question was raised as to why he fled the country. randome Dec 2013 #113

Why was the questioned raised? Hissyspit Dec 2013 #115
