Little wonder that Mr. Greenwald is describing the debate he had with Hugh Hewitt regarding the current crisis in Israel as a "substantive discussion," considering that Hewitt cleaned Greenwald's clock.
When humiliated, some people tend to lash out angrily to deflect from their shame, and others lapse into a meek posture of submission in order to avoid further embarrassment. I surmise that Mr. Greenwald falls into the latter category, as evidenced by Greenwald's tea-sipping, oh-so-civil characterization of the woodshed beating righteously administered by Hugh Hewitt.
It is to laugh.
