Hyperbole over the surveillance state to make a buck isn’t journalism or looking out for you. It’s hucksterism…

Thanks in advance for your apology.

Each of his blogs on this subject has been an attempt to pooh-pooh the story by impugning Greenwald’s character. Reread them if you need more citations; they’re abundant. You know this. Quit being disingenuous.

Again, he’s had this fundraising appeal every single year since he’s been blogging. There’s no evidence he intended to make more ado about the NSA story than is warranted so he could inspire more donations.

I fail to see what his personality has to do with the quality of his reporting. In what way should be be more generous, and to whom?

Diminishing a message by impugning the character of the messenger is a sleazy, time honored tactic by the lazy and dishonest. This is what TBogg resorts to. Don’t be like him.

Greenwald has made this same fundraising appeal every year since he started writing online. This isn’t a money grab. It takes money to do what he does, and the paycheck for blogging alone doesn’t cut it.

Despite what one of the dittoheads said in a previous thread…

Yeah, noticed that too…
Think it might have something to do with wanting to “pull a billmon” but still wanting to get a paycheck?

1) blog less
2)????
3)profit!

I guess ‘troll posts’ would fill that #2 slot nicely (for a while anyway). Now that’s some outcomes based shit right there.

…he’s working harder than ever, not cashing in.

It’s intellectually lazy and dishonest for TBogg and the dittoheads to smear Greenwald as a greedy egotist. The real objection, of course, is over what he writes, over his taking to task the leaders in whom these brownshirts so blindly place their trust.

They never bother to factually dispute what Greenwald and others write, because they haven’t the wherewithal to do so. Witless snark, ad hominen invective, and slander are all they have.

‘Eh, nothing’s going to happen to me, loyal duopolist that I am, but too bad, so sad for any obnoxious firebagger who gets strung through these measures. He shoulda learned to love the crust from Obama’s rim as much as I do.’

The dittoheads are having another circle-jerk, splooging each other in the eye with that Obamabot juice, laughing at all the squares with their obnoxiously consistent principles and intellectual honesty, those fucking purity trolls who fail to appreciate the majesty of realpolitik.

I happily donated yesterday. Thanks for this important work.

Manzarek did a fine job producing those great early X albums.

Aw, Mr. I-can-dish-it-out-but-I-can’t-take-it still has Teddy’s bright red hand print on his ass cheek, and it stings like a motherfucker.

Kevin, you’re more restrained and diplomatic than the situation warrants. I don’t know how you do it. People coldly throw fact after fact at TBogg, but he never apologizes for being wrong. Indeed, he only ever doubles down on his lies.

Can we please get back to the topic of how much of a pathological lying asshole TBogg is? That witless, snarky cunt gets shown up and has his bullshit refuted all the time, yet he soldiers on as if nothing happened.

You’ve read everything KG and others wrote about this? So, you’re not pleading ignorance of the facts of the matter, you’re conceding you’ve knowingly misrepresented them. That doesn’t help your case.

Hear, hear!

I can’t imagine why Jane wants this intellectually lazy dispenser of witless snark on her site. He’s an embarrassment, and his conservadem views are completely antithetical to everything the site stands for. Perhaps he generates revenue that serves as a subsidy allowing the bloggers, like yourself, who know their ass from a hole in the ground to post?

Hear my hollow bark and tremble in…fear? No, laughter.

No, thank you. Your coverage of civil liberties issues, something grossly underrepresented in the media, is among the best anywhere.

And you keep tonguing the crust from Obama’s rim and tell us how fresh it still tastes.
