Greenwald is a drone and I don't even find his writing all that interesting. I think I linked him one day in light of a statement the Evil Blogger Lady made in contempt for him.
But then, I don't think Evil Blogger Lady separates contempt from jealousy all that well. I think they are sometimes like one and the same for her.
That said, equating him with Beck and Limbaugh is an interesting idea; I suppose if I got right down to it they're not necessarily party-line folks either.
I think Limbaugh is more interested in the Republican party than Beck. But then, Limbaugh came into prominence as a result of building their resurgence.
Garage is right. Greenwald is left, he's just an educated (i.e. a lawyer) spokesperson for the part of the left that wants to pull Obama further to the left.
What's funny is that people always talk about the far left and the far right agreeing in a dark place politically.
But if Greenwald can take the same stance as Andrew Napolitano on ending the right to wiretap any average American the president feels like wiretapping, I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing.
Maybe the right and left will meet at the extremes instead of in the middle. Just a thought.
Speaking of pigs flying, I understand that we all voted for Obama, collectively, as a group, so his election isn't the fault of any actual individuals who, you know, pushed the button marked "Obama" in the voting booth.
Whatever made you think Greenwald was more partisan than principled is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nasty link (and probably virus-laden) link there under jackveronic.
ReplyDeleteJust warnin'
Just saw it and removed it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Ritmo. I have seen Greenwald on TV and I never ever saw him divert from the ultra leftest line before.
ReplyDeleteHe is just as much a drone as Glen Beck or Rush. Just on the other side.
Greenwald and many lefty blogs have been hammering Obama since day 1. Probably more than the right did in 8 yrs under Bush
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the lefty blogs are hammering Obama because he hasn't yet replaced the Star Spangled Banner with The International.

ReplyDeleteHey, I am glad that two of my favorite commenters stopped by.
ReplyDeleteI think the far left and the far right meet right at the same spot.

ReplyDeleteIsnt that what they call the 'taint'?
I of course went after Greenwald...brings me to the movie "Babe" (not Ruth but the pig movie)...

ReplyDeleteA smart person told me this fact.

ReplyDeleteTrue, dat!

ReplyDeleteHey Mike, that means were just part of the Borg.
Resistance is futile and all that.
Greenwald is upset because if young men are going to be manhandled, he wants to do it himself.
