At least he didn't give Wall Street banksters all they wanted. Octafish Dec 2014 #7

Ah yes Andy823 Dec 2014 #9

Great point, Andy823. This thread is about hating Greenwald. Octafish Dec 2014 #10

I hope Greenwald has the same influence for his friends as the Wall St Fraudsters and War sabrina 1 Dec 2014 #12

Wall-Street-on-the-Potomac is Buy Partisan. Octafish Dec 2014 #18

Nah Andy823 Dec 2014 #44

If by ''bash'' you mean point out the hypocrisy in many policies, OK. Octafish Dec 2014 #45

He was for them Andy823 Dec 2014 #54

I have no problem criticizing Obama. Show where I 'bash' him. Octafish Dec 2014 #63

That's all they got. Rex Dec 2014 #71

That's all very personal to another DUer, and frankly boring. sabrina 1 Dec 2014 #74

You stay classy...defending a guy who threatened children with harm.... msanthrope Dec 2014 #15

Nice smear. Octafish Dec 2014 #19

It's a smear pointing out that you have posted supportively about a guy who threatened children? msanthrope Dec 2014 #21

No. I posted in support of Greenwald telling the truth. Octafish Dec 2014 #25

Greenwald telling the truth? Like this column where he fails to mention the threats to children? msanthrope Dec 2014 #29

You made out like I condoned child molestation, msanthrope. That is a smear. Octafish Dec 2014 #32

Child molestation? Barrett Brown was not charged with such. But he was charged with making threats msanthrope Dec 2014 #34

Opinion: Why you should care about journalist Barrett Brown's sentencing today Octafish Dec 2014 #36

Sure--he's a misunderstood genius who went on a homphobic rant and threatened children, and msanthrope Dec 2014 #37

He was charged with making threats against children? I can't find that charge. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #41

Indeed....try clicking on the indictment, linked above. nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #50

Like I said, there is nothing about threatening children. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #60

When you read the indictment, did you completely miss the part where the GJ quoted Mr. Brown's msanthrope Dec 2014 #79

I think what they're trying to say is that tammywammy Dec 2014 #81

LA is a parent. I can't think any parent would make such a defense. Right? nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #82

What I am trying to do is stick with the facts, as we know them. Msanthrope made the Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #89

You are aware, aren't you, that a person's kids can be adults? You made the claim that he Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #87

Okay...so you think threats against people's children are okay as long as they are adults? nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #92

Goal posts� moving. You lost this one counselor. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #102

Um no...you are the one who brought up the unsupported supposition that his children are adults. msanthrope Dec 2014 #107

Actually, I was responding to your unsupported position that they are minor children. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #108

Then we are at equipoise. Of course, you've been avoiding something this whole thread..... msanthrope Dec 2014 #109

But you've posted in support of a guy who has actually killed children. DisgustipatedinCA Dec 2014 #53

Who? nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #55

A denial in the form of a question. Noted. DisgustipatedinCA Dec 2014 #57

Wow, that's a seriously loony attack you're making. Marr Dec 2014 #28

Pointing out what was correctly stated in the indictment--threats to children is somehow "loony?" msanthrope Dec 2014 #30

No, saying Octafish's comment should be considered a violation of the TOS here. Marr Dec 2014 #31

Yes--I think that defense of a homophobe, and a person who threatened children is a violation of the msanthrope Dec 2014 #33

He didn't plead guilty to that charge. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #58

Which doesn't mean he didn't make the threats...they are on video. As part of his plea deal, msanthrope Dec 2014 #83

How did you come to the conclusion that Robert Smith's "kids" are children? Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #42

Try reading the indictment, linked above. nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #51

I read it. It mentions family but nothing about "children" other than Barrett's quote Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #56

From this statement, it seems you did not understand the indictment. I can't help you msanthrope Dec 2014 #80

Threats against the agent's kids, NOT children. Again zero evidence that the kids are not adults. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #86

Excuse me...is there an age at which threats against a LEO's children become legal? msanthrope Dec 2014 #90

Fuck the feds. I hope the case against Brown is dismissed. Vattel Dec 2014 #39

He pleaded guilty in April so dismissal of charges is unlikely: now they're wrangling about sentence struggle4progress Dec 2014 #40

Um...he pled. And is apparently singing like a canary. nt msanthrope Dec 2014 #52

Sez the poster who has gotten very little right about this case. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #61

Cut her some slack. DisgustipatedinCA Dec 2014 #64

Oh...I don't want Octafish banned. I think there is no better spokesperson msanthrope Dec 2014 #84

Show where I am wrong and I will apologize for making a mistake. Octafish Dec 2014 #88

Show you where you are wrong? Keyword search "cropcircle" for msanthrope Dec 2014 #95

Greenwald doesn't seem, to know what Brown pleaded guilty to struggle4progress Dec 2014 #69

Really. You are the one confused. Greenwald is well aware of Barrett's Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #72

Here's an interesting article on Brown. octoberlib Dec 2014 #66

I agree with Greenwald's general point about prosecutorial abuse. Jim Lane Dec 2014 #70

That is a good post. Thank you. Luminous Animal Dec 2014 #76

Except punishment is not meted out by prosecutors but by judges and juries. randome Dec 2014 #97

Greenwald correctly notes that prosecutors can in effect mete out punishment. Jim Lane Dec 2014 #105

Cretins like this belong in a cage. Ykcutnek Dec 2014 #77
