He counts on his readers not clicking his links.

That's the point.

Not that the puppy blender did anything wrong, but that Gleen(s) can have his (their?) Two Minutes Hate using his (their?) favorite Emmanuel Goldstein.

I try not to impute motives unless there's a clear and definite pattern, in this case I'd say that's a very likely explanation.

America has been at war (off and on) with Islamic barbarians since 1794 (perhaps earlier). "Shores of Tripoli" ring a bell?

I'd love to see a plan for ending this barbarism.

At least Bush had a plan. Bring self government to the barbarian states. Maybe it wasn't a good plan. Maybe it wasn't useful in all places. But it was a plan (grand strategy actually).

So where is the current administration's plan? And if they are following the Bush plan why no credit where due?

What ever happened to "politics ends at the waters edge"?

I think Glenn Greenwald is a fantastic blogger, and I object to this criticisms! You just know that Instapundit is a racist and a bigot because he is not a leftist!

Wow. Awesome sauce. Point. Set. Match.

I see by researching the internet that Mr. Greenwald has been published. Have any of you been published?

Good day sir!

Glenn Sockpuppet Greenwald is consumed by his own awesomeness. Since there are still a few who won't accept the wisdom he has inscribed with fire on stone tablets, he must excoriate all who disagree with his magnificentness.

I'm truly sorry that he has to stoop with his 400 IQ to correcting the various troglodytes on the Right [or at least non-Left] in the US.

I assure you that Glenn Reynolds is smarter than Glenn Greenwald. Hopefully, people like Reynolds will become more common.

Why not attribute those barbaric acts that Islam calls for to Islam? There are plenty of barbaric acts that Islam specifically instructs it's followers to do. That Muslims don't all do those acts is no credit to Islam.

Under Islamic law, if you use a verbal formula in front of Muslim witnesses, this makes you a Muslim. Now if you decide you made a mistake and renounce Islam, under Islamic law is permissible to kill you. Does Islam seem a little barbaric?

You've all overlooked the obvious. Glenn Greenwald objects to negative references to barbaric behavior because he is, in fact, a barbarian.

Although in all cases, "savage" is the more correct term.

Greenwald hates our black president. That's what it's all about- racism pure and simple.

I really wish people would stop making the argument that Islam is not barbaric and that those who adhere most faithfully to its tenets will not engage in barbarism. It is getting old and it is simply wrong. Mohammed raped, enslaved and murdered his way across the middle east and he spread his religion by the sword. His followers are doing the same.

Pretending otherwise is how we came to be where we are. To the extent Muslims do not take their religion seriously enough to practice it properly as is the case with most American Muslims then we can get along. When they start following the example and teachings of their prophet and understand the concept of abrogation where the later, more violent passages take supremacy over the earlier, more peaceful ones then there is no place for them in the civilized world.

This is what the Arab world needs to hear more than anything else. They won't like it but there is no substitute for making them understand it by any means necessary. Simply put, no decent or civilized person can worship Mohammed as Mohammed wished to be worshiped.

The saddest thing is that there are supposedly civilized people that agree with the Gleens...

DADvocate, a room temperature dead mackerel is smarter than Greenwald.

What drives Greenwald, and other "progressives" like him, is shame and hatred of their own western roots, mostly due to their hatred of historic western colonialism, slavery (especially that which existed in the US), and the success of western civilization (which they think comes at the expense of non-western civilizations).

To these "progressives," any civilization that challenges the West is to be admired. Of course they know damn well about the barbaric aspects of Moslem culture, and deep down they detest them. But their shame and hatred of the West trumps that revulsion, so they build cognitive and rhetorical structures to hide them, so they can continue their anti-western tirades.

What we have in Greenwald's post is a simple mistake, a wardrobe failure. Those structures slipped, and out popped the truth. It is a truth which Greenwald knows damn well, and which he can not abide.

Maybe I'm confused, but why are you concerned with what this guy says? It is apparent to me that his opinions are invalid and nobody should even bother to read him. By responding, you simply validate his writings and encourage his continued irrationality. Does anyone actually pay attention to Cindy Sheehan anymore? No. Her statements were foolish so no one listens anymore. Do the same to this guy and he will eventually go away.

Interesting comments, and I apologize to those who may have tried to leave them but couldn't. Massive, uncontrollable spamming is messing up the blog bigtime, and I am working on it.

Please note that I did not say that Muhammad or his followers are not barbarians or that they are, and even though I don't think it is an "all are" or "none are" situation, that was not the point of this post -- which was simply to take issue with Greenwald putting words in Glenn Reynolds' mouth.

Has anyone actually seen Cindy Sheehan and GG in the same room together?
