(25,026 posts)Greenwald says nothing illegal was done though the actions were described as heinous on substance, an act of dogmatic religious fervor, and the product of a bottomless thirst for war and compares Reid's loyalist posturing to Cheney's for the reason that nothing illegal was done no matter how unacceptable one feels the behavior may be.
The reality is most honest folks will agree where the rubber meets the road, if Greenwald is soooo off base then we should be expecting prosecutions for the 47, no?
Of course not, there won't be even charges much less any indictments no matter how strongly folks feel that the spirit of sedition is running wild.
Greenwald should have perhaps used impotent bluster as his point of comparison.
Put up or shut up, if Greenwald is making cause with the 47 then his detractors had best be demanding prosecutions or they are functionally in agreement with him no matter how much belly aching and finger pointing they do because they are in exactly the same place he is and are making a scene about how he is saying it.
What is the practical and functional difference? Nothing but something to hang on to throw a fit about like they do weekly.
