Long time reader, first time commenter.
Lo...Sigh. <br />Long time reader, first time commenter. <br />Look, Driftglass, I'm a big fan. I read you every damn day, I've sent money for your pledge drives, and I'll do so again. You're awesome. <br /><br />But I just do not understand your levels of hate towards GG. Seriously. <br /><br />Look, are you or are you not deeply disappointed with some of the decisions that Obama has made since being elected?<br /><br />If you ARE disappointed, then how on earth is it a bad thing to call attention to those decisions?<br /><br />You yourself have effectively and eloquently shown the Democrats' shameful rightward slide over the past 30 years. Clearly, left to their own devices, that's what they're doing. Obama, sadly, is no exception. If they aren't pulled from the left, then WTF do you think they're gonna keep doing? Who else is gonna hold their feet to the fire? <br /><br />Sheesh. <br /><br /><br />-DavinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-49494038106031142152013-06-03T19:56:09.795-05:002013-06-03T19:56:09.795-05:00"By Grabthar's Hammer I promise LL is not..."By Grabthar's Hammer I promise LL is not a sockpuppet I dreamed up while drunk and thumbing thru a "Man of Steel" comic just to underscore how unhinged many of Mr. Greenwald's most loyal fans are."<br /><br />I think L.L. is actually G.G. himself, leaping to his own defense in single bounds of trolly verbosity. <br />Notice how his slavish insistence on orthodoxy pervades his every comment. <br />By merely disagreeing with whatever latest drivel GG spews out, you ("Droneglass"..and isn't that just too stupid to bear over and over again..it's like Obummer or Hildebeast..not even clever the first time) become a capitalist tool and lackey of unbridled American Imperialism.<br />How tedious must one's existence be..to be a blog troll?

S. interference in the affairs of foreign countries.<br /><br />Only later did I learn that once upon a time in the USA, many conservatives opposed most U. S. interference in the affairs of foreign countries. Only when our former ally, the Communist USSR, was declared the Great Enemy did a majority of USAmerican conservatives convert to the worship of Mars (the Roman god, not the planet named for him).<br /><br />A remnant of the old isolationist conservative tradition still survives. Many conservatives of that sort can be found on the site antiwar.com, along with a few of us liberal types who share their reluctance to bend the knee to Mars.<br /><br />The Malefactors Of Great Wealth bought my country--the same MOGW who both paid for the campaign which installed the current President, and who staged the coup of 2000 which installed his predecessor, who began the imperial wars that the current President continues--and now the MOGW use my country as a murder weapon in their filthy imperial wars.<br /><br />Glenzilla opposes that, which is why I'm willing to overlook his flaws.

His solidarity with U.S. imperialism (in reference to which he uses 'we' as a synonym) is as sad/funny as the zeal of a Walmart greeter eloquently identifying with the Walton family... (though the greeter is at least getting paid.) <br /><br />Despite his liberal illusions in capitalism, Greenwald at least permits the evidence of systemic criminality to speak for itself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585724033790292974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-37623272137446666202013-06-03T12:28:42.946-05:002013-06-03T12:28:42.946-05:00By Grabthar's Hammer I promise LL is not a soc...By Grabthar's Hammer I promise LL is not a sockpuppet I dreamed up while drunk and thumbing thru a "Man of Steel" comic just to underscore how unhinged many of Mr. Greenwald's most loyal fans are.driftglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379167083253389153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-81411933616627971762013-06-03T12:17:59.306-05:002013-06-03T12:17:59.306-05:00I don't think LL actually reads anything DG wr...I don't think LL actually reads anything DG writes, he just comes here to shill GG and troll the comments.mahakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649042340743257076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-7722452494774201892013-06-03T10:58:07.291-05:002013-06-03T10:58:07.291-05:00ZRM, Are you in favour or opposed to the system of...ZRM, Are you in favour or opposed to the system of U.S. imperialism?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585724033790292974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58310591652830625932013-06-03T10:39:53.043-05:002013-06-03T10:39:53.043-05:00Greenwald's great virtue, despite the liberal ...<i>Greenwald's great virtue, despite the liberal inclinations he shares with Droneglass, is to confirm that the empire is a system - not a policy or an officeholder.</i><br /><br />Really?
