-- Ché Pasa
That read like apples and oranges to me, Che Pasa. Yeah, Glenn mocks people who do the bit about 'Rove knows all' so why bother or 'Bush will just do this or that and the Dems will fold' so why bother.
That kind of stuff wasn't the question you put to him or that he answered to. You accused him of specifically mocking physical protest demonstrations as one alternative to many others. None of the examples you gave were about that. None of them.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]WTF are you talking about, Glenn? When does "make a good living" mean "become extremely rich"? You complain of misrepresentation.
You accused Greenwald of not giving a shit about Third Parties only because he makes a comfortable living. The degree of lowness of that insult can not be overstated. Glenn's having come back at you with snark and ridicule was as warranted as can be. What the heck do you expect?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]While some posters have expressed disgust at how there seems to be no way out of this current mess, nobody at all has concluded that was should therefore give up all participation and do nothing.
Balogny! There have been "why bother" posts all over this thread.

Hmmm. So, it's wrong for me to think that money matters to Glenn, eh? Then why would Glenn write this to Che Pasa earlier today:
"Big bloggers" are you call them didn't get to be that by lottery pick. People choose which bloggers they read. There ARE BLOGGERS who believe in street demonstrations and urge them on. If they don't have a large audience, it must be because there isn't a big market for people who believe in such protests.
"There isn't a big market for people who believe in such protests." That statement can *only* be written by someone who thinks about the market (and what they are doing in it... especially considering he was writing about blogging). It would seem from this statement that he believes there is a market for his type of blogging. And considering the responses he gets in the comment section... he's correct! Now, tell me again, how is it an insult to think he won't change his tactics because he's making good money with his current tactic? When he himself brings the point up?
Dereck, You're misrepresenting "market". Glenn isn't talking about money. He's talking about interest in general approach. There is no way in heck that a person could honestly say that Glenn would change his approach to promoting street protest as the best avenue if he suddenly saw that as an opportunity to bring income into his blog. That is as an absolutely insulting and incorrect take on what he does as you could possibly come to.
Basically, because I think you're holding hard to your position, you're not seeing what is being said to you in an honest light.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]But you already knew that.
-- Tom 70
No, Tom, I didn't "already know that" and I don't agree with it now, either. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you really believed that what you we're saying was true. I would have appreciated it if you would have chosen not to call me a liar, but to recognize that I was and am giving you my honest take and opinion.
As for the subject content, I don't want to bother reposting the many examples that make the case. But they are all right there for the taking if you should choose to relive this thread.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why?
"Senate Democrats must commit themselves to blocking any and all nominees until Bush nominates someone whose independence and integrity are beyond reproach."-GG
Really? Why?
You are usually a perceptive writer, Mr Greenwald, but I'm afraid you've been sipping the koolaid in this instance.
-- Jonathan Versen
I'm getting the impression that some commenters think it would be impressive - just for the sake of of being impressive - to disagree or call out Glenn Greenwald.
Mr. Versen's post is meaningless. There is nothing to reply to in it.

We thought we had shit to worry about in 1969? The customs man was probably smokin' it back then. Gave him a good attitude. Today, the Customs Man can help put you away for ever and ever A'Men just for being 'on the list'. Who wrote, and is still writing,that list up, anyway?

[Read the article: The Democrats' responsibility in the wake of Gonzales' resignation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]2B. Either you did this innocently, or you meant to misrepresent what I wrote. Given the lack of elipses,I'm inclined to believe the latter.
I didn't do it "innocently" or to "misrepresent what you wrote". I quoted only a portion of what your wrote as a matter of space saving. I saw no necessity to quote more of it. The remainder of your quote wasn't buried in the black hole of time and space. The remainder of your quote was a short scroll away. I must say, these accusations of deceit grow tiresome.
