You claimed he "supports" RP.	Hassin Bin Sober	Dec 2011	#19
So the point of your post is not the point of your post? I see. Thanks.	JackRiddler	Dec 2011	#102
What if you write	hfojvt	Dec 2011	#17
I've seen stranger things taken as support.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#34

That, too, but again not the point of my OP.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#27
I agree. I just expressed my opinion, too.	Ikonoklast	Dec 2011	#39
I demand nothing. I simply respond to your reply.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#40
I love reading your OP's. They end up being the most circular threads ever.	Ikonoklast	Dec 2011	#46
Thanks!	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#63
Is there any other candidate promoting the end of the war on drugs, the end of	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#5
That bears repeating:	Hassin Bin Sober	Dec 2011	#13
Or who has had his very own racist newsletter? Nt	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#18
That is true. But that has nothing to do with the theme of Greenwald's article	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#41
No it was not the theme of the article	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#58
Is the statement about the "white supremacist" that he is against the empire and the war on drugs...	JackRiddler	Dec 2011	#103
David Duke may be in favor of Medicare for all and free college tuition. Who could possibly care?	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#118
Can you name a national Republican who will not pursue racist policies?	JackRiddler	Dec 2011	#119
I can only name one who published his very own white supremacist newsletter. Ron Paul.	arely staircase	Jan 2012	#125
You're right, Gingrich only published books.	JackRiddler	Jan 2012	#127
I saw that sig line. It's interesting that you missed the point of my post	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#20
Your title clearly states that Greenwald supports Paul. Greenwald says otherwise.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#28
No but if that was the thing you chose to	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#60
Another person who did not read the article. That quote isn't even close to the focus.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#64
I know his focus was the surveillance state	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#66
I posted the wrong link. Below is the correct one.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#72
Greenwald makes a valid point.	arely staircase	Dec 2011	#75

Except for the fact that it is untrue.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#8
I admire his ability to earn a living with his words.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#24
I hope you don't start your HVAC articles with ...	Hassin Bin Sober	Dec 2011	#84
Does that mean that you are pro-war, pro surveillance state, pro crony capitalism, and pro drug-war?	Tierra_y_Libertad	Dec 2011	#10
No, it does not mean that at all. It means that I have quoted an	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#15
Are you trying to out-Zocoloco Zocoloco?	UnrepentantLiberal	Dec 2011	#26
I have no idea what you are trying to say.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#29
I would but it makes my head swim.	UnrepentantLiberal	Dec 2011	#31
lol	Cameron27	Jan 2012	#126

Greenwald has repeatedly said that he does not endorse Paul.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#16
Link to the article... (edited to add the correct link- it's the 1st one)	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#23
Yes, I know that. He was writing for someone. Writers often do that.	MineralMan	Dec 2011	#30
Tierra_y_Libertad asked for a link. I provided it.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#33
I was born in MO. You're going to have to show me how that is support.	proud2BlibKansan	Dec 2011	#22

Funny. He wrote his own headline and used the 1st paragraph to	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#53
Yes, but think of the poor people trying to get their pool clean.	JackRiddler	Dec 2011	#104
looks like more of an opinion than an endorsement or support..	frylock	Dec 2011	#37
Shhhh. Don't let facts get in the way of truthiness.*	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#45
I suspect a semi-coordinated attempt to link being anti-War, anti-Drug War, anti-Bankster bailout	Romulox	Dec 2011	#43
I don't get	WilliamPitt	Dec 2011	#44
Your post would make sense if GG actually supported Paul. But he does not.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#47
No, I hear you.	WilliamPitt	Dec 2011	#56
How about giving "good Ink" to:	bvar22	Dec 2011	#109
Greenwald fucked up, his perceived support of Paul was unpopular. He backpedaled	Robb	Dec 2011	#67
Nope. He wrote two paragraphs on Paul in a 20 paragraph article	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#77
I realize he was merely using it as a foil to get a mention of Gary Johnson in.	Robb	Dec 2011	#81
Its not his fault that there are plenty of mindless dolts.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#86
That's not even close.	Robb	Dec 2011	#88
Its nuanced, I know.	Luminous Animal	Dec 2011	#90
Careful, you might hurt my internet feelings.	Robb	Dec 2011	#91

On the scale of "assholes like Greenwald can say what they want"	BootinUp	Dec 2011	#48
If you're using just that quote to interpret support for Paul your argument is not convincing.	Poll_Blind	Dec 2011	#50
Not Me!	BootinUp	Dec 2011	#55
Well then, who is?	Poll_Blind	Dec 2011	#57
Any number of politicans that don't blatantly lie about their political positions/views.	BootinUp	Dec 2011	#61
That's not an answer and trying to turn me into a Paul supporter so you can scuttle off is weak.	Poll_Blind	Dec 2011	#65
It was an answer and an explanation. You wish to establish	BootinUp	Dec 2011	#68
LOL, what you're missing is I already agree that Paul's a shit. As I've said, I agree...	Poll_Blind	Dec 2011	#73

Exactly. So projecting that Greenwald somehow supports Paul is...	Poll_Blind	Dec 2011	#59
Sorry, MM... but Greenwald providing analysis of Paul's positions does not equate to support of Paul	hlthe2b	Dec 2011	#62

Look what Greenwald wrote under "simple minded"!	Fuddnik	Dec 2011	#112
That isn't "support". It has to be granted that two out of four are easily arguable.	TheKentuckian	Dec 2011	#114
Excellent summation, Kentuck:	JackRiddler	Dec 2011	#120
I don't think it's support, I think GG truly believes Paul believes those things.	joshcryer	Dec 2011	#123
