Glenn Greenwald: Asshole [View all] struggle4progress May 2014 OP

The horror! He tweeted about the efficacy of military action instead of about the kidnap victims!! Vattel May 2014 #1

Amen n/t autorank May 2014 #3

What inefficacy? frazzled May 2014 #9

Maybe he was instead thinking about us overthrowing countries, deposing elected leaders. DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #97

Much like the U.S. air operations over Bosnia in the nineties... LanternWaste May 2014 #111

Idiocy frazzled May 2014 #121

No. I'm a student of history. Maybe I'm also an idiot, as you say, but foremost, DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #122

How heartless indeed... sheshe2 May 2014 #115

To me, as a mother of daughters, that list is just heartbreaking. JDPriestly Sep 2015 #131

It is pretty heartless treestar May 2014 #119

What happened to that "yuge" blockbuster of Snowden revelations he promised . . . brush Sep 2015 #132

I'm kind of worried about the author of this piece. pa28 May 2014 #2

lol Vattel May 2014 #14

greenwald's assholery is what is fucking "horrifying". But, who gives a shit.. he was an asshole Cha May 2014 #15

Greenwald aside I'm worried about this guy. He should find a small paper bag and breathe into it. pa28 May 2014 #19

Stay worried. Cha May 2014 #21

Glenn Greenwald is a fucking Ugly American. Brava Wonkette! Cha May 2014 #30

Are you calling Obama ugly? Vattel May 2014 #16

Not particularly clever, but keep trying. baldguy May 2014 #72

Yes, we cannot have singular contempt. Unless that contempt is against Glenn Greenwald. Gravitycollapse May 2014 #6

It's not like that. Many of us thought Greenwald was an asshole from the start. randome May 2014 #80

That is precisely what I wrote...years ago msanthrope May 2014 #87

So Greenwald didn't even represent Hale when he was convicted? randome May 2014 #89

Greenwald, when he claims to be a 'civil rights' attorney, glosses over the fact msanthrope May 2014 #90

"Note that Greenwald�s first concern wasn�t the well-being of those kidnapped.".. no bc he's an ass- Cha May 2014 #7

I just posted this here Cha! sheshe2 May 2014 #116

I think that is unfair to assholes everywhere. Assholes have an important purpose in life. stevenleser May 2014 #8

Meh, not particularly clever, but keep trying. Vattel May 2014 #17

The truth isn't necessarily clever or sophisticated. It just is the truth. nt stevenleser May 2014 #18

Yes, it is true that assholes have a purpose. thx for pointing that out. Vattel May 2014 #20

I wouldn't want to disrespect them by comparing them to Greenwald. nt stevenleser May 2014 #22

yes, you already said that Vattel May 2014 #24

Yes, but when you restated my point you left that part out and it was thus incomplete. nt stevenleser May 2014 #25

boring Vattel May 2014 #27

Your first response to me was pretty boring and you never got better. nt stevenleser May 2014 #28

True, but post #16 and Post #23 were better. Vattel May 2014 #29

I think the "assholes" are still okay.. greenwald is an exceptionally nasty pow. Cha May 2014 #32

This shouldn't be a surprise. Greenwald has always been a self serving, drama whoring dickhead. phleshdef May 2014 #10

You got something against hyphens? Vattel May 2014 #23

lol what? phleshdef May 2014 #35

self serving -> self-serving. I think it was just to lighten things up a little still_one Sep 2015 #128

Possibly it's the same thing you have against proper grammar? LanternWaste May 2014 #112

You hit it, Spazito.. "self-serving asshole".. in a big way. All assholes are self serving but GG Cha May 2014 #37

Yep, he really is pathetic... Spazito May 2014 #39

Yeah, ol greenwald can dish out the venom but don't let anyone say anything untoward about Cha May 2014 #40

He really could learn a lesson from the man he hates... Spazito May 2014 #41

Excellent thought, Spazito! Mahalo! Cha May 2014 #42

Joy Reid Jamaal510 May 2014 #51

Really, Tarheel.. the writer is being too kind.. Cha May 2014 #62

Couldn't agree more. How quickly people forget this asshole was for the Iraq war before he... Tarheel_Dem May 2014 #64

He knew which side his bread was buttered on then as well as now.. talk about your Cha May 2014 #67

Turning against the war, when he did, was very opportune, and quite lucrative for him. Tarheel_Dem May 2014 #68

What a pile of worthless character assassination. Hissyspit May 2014 #57

Since GG himself has regularly used character assassination in combo with crowd-sourced bullying struggle4progress May 2014 #58

So the response to supposed bullshit character assassination is Hissyspit May 2014 #59

he did it first, mommy frylock May 2014 #110

Leave GG Alone.. Only the bully fucking GG can "Character Assassinate".. if you don't believe it Cha May 2014 #60

I think GG is ready to join Jules on the junkpile of failed anti-Obamas. ucrdem May 2014 #63

Which reminds me, ucr.. A member made a very good point upthread.. speaking Cha May 2014 #66

I never got the bit about GG providing "important information." ucrdem May 2014 #61

It's important information if it's against Bush; it's bullshit if it critiques Obama. alarimer May 2014 #85

It only critiques Obama by grotesquely misrepresenting the last six years. ucrdem May 2014 #114

A despicable little creature. How low and sick he is. n/t Whisp May 2014 #65

My point is, ronnie624 May 2014 #102

Well, Glenn supported the Iraq War and Bush, I never did. So I get to be outraged. nt msanthrope May 2014 #106

Lots of people supported it who don't now. ronnie624 May 2014 #107

Glenn was in his thirties, and it took him until Bush's second term to criticize him. msanthrope May 2014 #108
