(45,319 posts)And that is the problem with his detractors as a people, they are without any ethics in their attacks. It took much effort to put an end to the homophobic smears against him posted by many and never objected to by the others. The thread in which they tried to foist a conspiracy theory involving LGBT DU members because some bigoted shit 'just found out Greenwald is gay and so are some on DU!!!!' lasted a week then Earl G ppr'd the OP. But not one of the constant critics had so much as a cross word for the methods used by their own. They applauded it, laughed about it and tried to deny it was homophobic.
These are people who clearly need to watch themselves when being critical of say, African American Republicans. Would it be fair to use racist or race based attacks on Ben Carson, just 'cause he sux? I think not. But the Greenwald Hate Committee is clearly very comfortable with such tactics.
And today they continue that fine work they are so committed to.
"Greenwald is a very emotional writer. I mean this in a disparaging way, since many portray him as an objective reporter.... I have found out that Greenwald is Gay, and I know from a lot of posts here at DU that many of the LGBT community here at DU are disenchanted with Obama. I find that interesting...."
