They have posted satellite photos of people’s houses…

Funny you should post that here, on Michelle’s site.

BOB is in denial again, or maybe his real name is Glen?

His partner did it? Just like his mysterious source said it.

People like this are crackers [nuts], but perhaps a better word for them are crockers [as in, what a ...].

What gets me is that anyone would even try to pull a sock puppet trick on Patterico, the blogosphere's top expert on catching sock puppeteers. Especially after he busted and embarrassed Michael Hiltzik and the LA Times.

BoB, for perspective – showing Barbra Streisand’s mega-estate from the air (when her stables are airconditioned and she claims that we should drive smaller cars to conserve energy) is different than when your side publishes state secrets in its defense and security cameras on high level officials’ properties.

Your hypocrisy reeks.

Bryan & Co. at HotAir, no matter what BoB writes or breaches, never ever consider removing him/her from this blog. Provides too easy/amusing a target…

Blame It On Rio…

There’s been a dustup over comments made in support of popular liberal blogger Glenn Greenwald on several conservative sites. If you want to wade through the details you can check out the activity at Ace Of Spades, Patterico’s Pontifications, Riehl…..

Oops! I’m trying to make a fake trackback on my site for humor, and I accidentally sent two trackbacks to you (instead of myself). My apologies.

Blogagog – Simply the best…

The ever-thoughtful blogagog weighs in on the Greenwald debate. Brilliant analysis, as usual….

Who is Glenn Greenwald?…

…Now it appears that he writes comments using fake names to praise……

By: Bryan

Bryan — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 19:29:19 +0000

Missing the point as usual, better off troll. The chorus praising Glenn is Glenn. The chorus defending Glenn is Glenn. He’s all hype. And he’s dishonest.

You don’t see the problem with that? That says more about you than me.

First comment from Greenwalds defense

Anonymous said…
Glenn, we support you. We have your back. These scum bags are going down and they know it. They are wounded animals. Dangerous but about to die a miserable political death!

Oh Yes, “The Kids” at Greenwalds site wax so brilliantly and with such nice tone and well thought out comments….

BoB – I too can search the comment strings of any blog for the worst examples of replies. That was the first comment to Greenwalds response. Maybe it was Greenwald himself. Who is to know? Why you continue to troll here is beyond me. Maybe it’s because ‘real news’ needs to be found somewhere. Kind of similar to Reuters reading LGF every day.

You would think that even a far left wing fringe lunatic like better off blue would condemn Greenwald. How low does a democrat have to go before fellow democrats condemn them?

EFG,

that wasn’t my observation. Credit goes to “Birkel” in the comments at Ace’s site for catching that. I blogged his credit, just forgot to post it here…

better off blue,

Greenwald has a long and well-documented history of half-truths, purposeful misinterpretations, and straight out lies. This latest incident merely serves to further establish a continuing pattern of unethical behavior.

Let’s compare the kids at Hot Air and Glen, shall we:

Glen: Right-wing bloggers have increased their incindiary and violent vitrol towards their list of “enemies.” They have posted satellite photos of people’s houses, listed their personal information, and openly endorsed the jailing, torture, and even execution of prominent journalists, judges, and other liberal/dem politicians.

Hot Air: OMG! Glen is like, SOOOO totally busted! He posted under more than one moniker. Glen = PWNED!

Final Score:
Glen: 1
Hot Air: 0

I had no idea who this Greenwald was, and now that I’ve checked his blog, I want to go back to not knowing. But, as lawyers are wont to mention, “You can’t unring a dumbell.”

It is simply stunning to think that ANYONE on Earth would fall for the “my roommate/mom/partner/dog did it” excuse.

How could anyone, no matter how dumb (or how liberal … which may be needless repetition), no matter how deep in the partisan Kool-Aid … actually believe that story even for an instant?

And how could Mr. Greenjeans be so intellectually insecure to actually try to use that excuse?

Puh-leeeeeeeeeeze.

Liberal group-think sheep-behavior is just out of control if they’ll swallow this. They seem to have willingly surrendered the ability to open their eyes and think for themselves.

Unbelievable.

If different individuals were posting from the house, why would they have the need to email greenwald questions?

Good eye there, Bob Ownens.

Uh Bryan,

If different individuals were posting from the house, why would they have the need to email greenwald questions?

Such was claim of sock-puppet “Ryan” (that he had to email Greenwald), which pretty much blows that line of retreat.

Nice of Glenn to insinuate his boyfriend was the dupe though, wasn’t it?

I will give him exactly as much benefit of the doubt as he gave Misha.

None.
