(62,325 posts)predicted would be the response to his articles on why no one but Paul is speaking about the issues that are so important to Progressive and always have been. He predicted he would be attacked personally but that those attacking him would not deal with the points he made. Turns out he was right, and still is. The attacks, or 'calling him out' if you prefer, continue, but still not one counter to his point. And his detractors continue to prove him right while he collects more and more supporters who get what he is saying, including many prominent progressive bloggers.
He has done this forever when tangling with those who attack him. Turns it around and dings it right back. Being familiar with him as one of the most effective progressive bloggers during the Bush years, he loves this stuff.
A far more effective way to 'call him out' would be to prove him wrong. I'm surprised that no one has even tried but have resorted to every other kind of distraction, when in fact, there actually is some room to civilly counter Greenwald's argument. I am temped to do it myself on behalf of the president who deserves more from his supporters than to simply hand a win to Greenwald by sinking to the lowest possible levels of debate. That doesn't reflect well on the President.
