This is, I think it's safe to say, a new low

Glenn Greenwald went on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show last night to run interference for Trump-loving kids who harassed a Native American elder pic.twitter.com/i7W1ersK3O

I have not followed this or other viral distractions, but

Twitter's design empowers those who lie to smear others, because only accusations, not proof, are required. It's very tiring to point it out, but you can't allow people with big platforms to do it. Just compare what Matt Bors claimed I said on Fox last night to what I really said pic.twitter.com/MuaaIDu9oK

any "leftist" who spends their time going on Tucker or Ingraham and thinking they're getting points on the board -- or really doing anything other than legitimizing these platforms while yelling into the void-- is either an idiot or a fucking asshole.

real tired of this guy's shtick.

Also, the full video is quite clear about what happens. The indigenous man walked into the shout-down between the kids and the Black Israelites, then the kids mock him.

'In this case the media was incredibly reckless' - Greenwald to Ingraham.

Oh, but he is criticizing 'both sides'! He is both saying that liberal media is bad, and that fascist rhetoric is bad, so y'know, he is just finding the sensible middle ground.

I think it's pretty hard to claim that greenwald is a leftist of any sort at this point

idk i think it's safe to say he's still an anti-imperialist? or at least a west-skeptic / US-critic which is for sure a leftist position even it's often incoherent.

Just an anti-imperialist spending his USA wealth to presumably live in a guarded compound in Brazil

at this point his knee jerk desire to defend the trump admin seems to outweigh the knee jerk desire to criticize the US govt. the closest thing to a coherent political view he has is 'pwn the libs', which maybe just makes him a republican by its current definition.

Is Morbz’ favorite libertarian Fox commentator a leftist?

He is not an anti-imperialist, he would have a much tougher stance on Russia if that was the case. And I don't think being west-skeptic / US-critic is necessarily a leftist stance at this point, the whole point of Trumps campaign was that the west has lost it's way.

Frederik is the Only Leftist

butler called hezbollah part of the international left even tho they're a radical religious organization. not that butler is the key to what is or isn't leftist but there's is def a place on the left for groups that hold reactionary beliefs but bc they oppose the evil empire are allies of convenience.

Butler was wrong, and even then Hezbollah at least claimed to fight against social injustice to be considered a part of the left. Greenwald is just droning on and on about the media and liberals.

gg believes that neoliberal neoconservative elites in the US are being challenged by Trumpism and that they're the greatest threat to liberty and life on the planet. he is not totally devoid of facts for arguing that POV even if i think ultimately he's deluding himself and inconsistent etc. i don't think he's obviously not on the left. like many on the left he has chosen who the ultimate enemy is and he's willing to make strange bedfellows to combat them.

if Trump is reelected, can we finally identify liberals/Democrats as the obstacle?

You’re almost there, just say you want him re-elected.

if Trump is reelected, can we finally identify liberals/Democrats as the obstacle?

sorry, but wtf is wrong with you?

Reading this then seeing the article he’s commenting on is pretty funny

The US is one of the planet's most oppressive penal states. It imprisons more of its citizens than any other: for longer sentences, for less serious crimes, and without convictions. It's grotesquely unequal by race & class. It shouldn't take this dubious raid to realize that. https://t.co/qWs5DOcaA8

He doubles down in the comments too. This is pretty goddamn funny.

Thread:

Glenn currently on a long screed defending Zaid Jilani (who he has allegedly said 'is like a son to me') for going on his favorite racism show to excuse racism is quite predictable. pic.twitter.com/ThNXqwMVBb

Greenwald and his dogs featured on the only Instagram account I follow:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BupCOZkHa6l/

lots of good boys.

his home life is very cool to me. socialist congressman husband and lots of rescued street dogs

eat shit glenn greenwald

We have between 24-26 dogs Jesus Christ talk about a martyr complex

If you don’t know precisely how many pets you have you’ve got problems

otm

guy can also defend jesse singal in hell probably

when the NYT or New Yorker (I forget) ran that profile in 2017 and I read about the 38 dogs and the writer mentioned the stink of dog in the house, I nearly died of gross.

I imagine Greenwald in Queen Anne's large evening gown with all the puppies running around the estate now.

wait is rescuing dogs bad now too or is the usual stuff

not cleaning your dogs is bad stuff

Having more pets than you can reasonably manage to look after is cruelty

not sure how many dogs is too many exactly but losing count is a good sign you have too many

It's a shelter, they're not pets. The desperation to hate every possible detail about this flawed dude is a little weird.

Why?

i’m not mad about his dogs btw

mad about a guy who goes to bat for transphobes like jesse singal
