The mind is such a terrible thing to waste, and with Glenn Greenwald there is a lot of wasted gray matter. Alas
Greenwald loses it [1]:
One of the lowest and most dishonest tactics is to attempt to smear and demonize a blog by exploiting statements left on the blog by commenters despite the fact that the comments have no relationship to the arguments made by the blogger. It is no surprise that right-wing pundits have made that deceitful tactic one of their most frequently invoked weapons. The most recent example, of course, is Bill O’Reilly’s campaign to pressure Jet Blue to withdraw its sponsorship of Yearly Kos due to statements made by Daily Kos commenters who have no connection to the site other than using it to comment.
Greenwald clearly has his knickers in a twist because Jet Blue dumped YearlyKos.
Today, John Aravosis discovered [2] several violence-inciting comments from Bill O’Reilly.com regulars, including ones threatening [3] violence against Hillary Clinton.
So what did Aravoisis discover? This:
BillOreilly.com: “I am keeping my guns loaded if she [Hillary] is elected” [2]
So given Mrs. Clinton’s demonstrated propensity for violence, which is the greater threat, Mrs. Clinton’s thug with a machine gur or a law abiding citizen? Keep in mind that is a loaded machine gun which Mrs. Clinton’s thug has pointed at the child.
