68. That's about as shameless an attempt to derail a thread I've ever seen

Apparently that person thinks that simply accusing the OP of trying to "smear" Greenwald has the same weight as the link after link of substantiated facts presented in the OP. And then keeps chanting "smear" even after several people have asked him/her what exactly the smears are.

It would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous.
