In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald’s Mitt Romney Surrogacy [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)spotlight material. The thread that cemented my view on his critic's ethical standards can be seen at the link, in which a 'critic' goes after Greenwald's sexuality, and then attacked other gay people on that basis. That thread stood in GD for days, when you Sid were a host of GD.
After that display of bigoted opining from the 'critics' I no longer see his critics as having a shred of credibility, they sunk to that low so willingly, without any thought to the horrid nature of the tactics employed.
The 'critics' have done much to raise the level of Greenwald awareness, as you go after him for criticism of policy even as Booker and Clinton do the same thing, criticize policy. Funny that they do not get the same sort of pitchforks and torches routine. I wonder if the 'gay panic' expressed in that thread has anything to do with the special level of rhetoric some factions reserve for Greenwald?
So the 'he's gay' came up last time the Greenwald hate committee started in on him, and many of us remember that. And it does define all who allowed that thread and all who chimed in to agree with such as shitty,dirty, low down McCarthyite tactic as that....
