Yup, fake outrage worthy of a Republican, or even a teabagger. Raksha Aug 2013 #65

"member of the press" jazzimov Aug 2013 #41

And how would you define a "member of the press"? MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #47

And which internationally-respected newspaper Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #69

Once Greenwald takes ownership it's public domain MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #71

So that makes David Miranda Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #72

Greenwald. jazzimov Aug 2013 #19

What if it was the boyfriend that insisted on helping? LearningCurve Aug 2013 #23

And you didn't stop them? nt jazzimov Aug 2013 #33

Sometimes yes, sometimes no LearningCurve Aug 2013 #39

Good on you! jazzimov Aug 2013 #43

I think you may have misunderstood LearningCurve Aug 2013 #50

Not his BOYFRIEND. His spouse. They are partners and in it together. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #64

"Set up"? I'm fairly sure you don't know what that means. EOTE Aug 2013 #86

Miranda didn't have any idea what he had on him- snooper2 Aug 2013 #148

and who was taking care of their eleven rescue dogs back Rio? Douglas Carpenter Aug 2013 #7

Good question! jazzimov Aug 2013 #31

Maybe you should fly down there and check into it n/t HangOnKids Aug 2013 #48

Why.... on earth...would *that* be relevant? Smarmie Doofus Aug 2013 #81

Attacking Greenwald's Animals Is Now Fair Game HangOnKids Aug 2013 #153

I guess you don't think Miranda offered to do it. Wilms Aug 2013 #8

I don't care if he did jazzimov Aug 2013 #15

OK. That's you. Wilms Aug 2013 #18

Actually, it's not. Or did you not read the so-called "leaks"? jazzimov Aug 2013 #21

And you're sure of that?? Wilms Aug 2013 #35

Are you claiming he does not truly love him? hrmjustin Aug 2013 #46

It appears that way n/t HangOnKids Aug 2013 #51

If you truly loved him you'd let him decide for himself tkmorris Aug 2013 #75

The hypocrisy is mind-numbing. EOTE Aug 2013 #88

Be sure... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #57

AMEN! Greenwald is an asshole, a basher asshole from the start uponit7771 Aug 2013 #11

Yep. The DN never knows they're a DN. Arctic Dave Aug 2013 #34

I'm sure... Oilwellian Aug 2013 #115

Would someone please fetch Aunt Pittypat's smelling salts? QC Aug 2013 #14

LOL. The swooning concern for his "lover" is heartwarming. myrna minx Aug 2013 #93

Isn't it, though? QC Aug 2013 #97

It's not noting concern, it's noting an act that is almost sociopathic in its callousness. stevenleser Aug 2013 #99

Is Miranda a child? Are you privy to their spousal conversations? n/t myrna minx Aug 2013 #102

What difference does that make? Would you do that to someone? stevenleser Aug 2013 #103

There is no indication any of the information was 'stolen' muriel_volestrangler Aug 2013 #129

Appeal to emotion. myrna minx Aug 2013 #132

Since you appear fixated on this question... Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #133

Oh, and my ridicule was based upon the use of "lover" and "boyfriend" in the OP. myrna minx Aug 2013 #134

And they call Greenwald a "Drama Queen"... whatchamacallit Aug 2013 #16

His lover? last1standing Aug 2013 #20

I apologize. What term should I have used? jazzimov Aug 2013 #25

The term is "Partner," and talking about Miranda as though he needs protection is just as bad. last1standing Aug 2013 #29

How old are you? Twelve? tigervalentine Aug 2013 #52

Wow! What a load of bullshit you just posted. last1standing Aug 2013 #54

But you didn't tell me how old you are tigervalentine Aug 2013 #55

It's none of your Damned business how old I am. last1standing Aug 2013 #56

Force you? tigervalentine Aug 2013 #58

I certainly hope you are. last1standing Aug 2013 #59

You got owned by a lurker who sees you for what you are Pretzel_Warrior Aug 2013 #155

Those seven hidden posts are too funny too! n/t HangOnKids Aug 2013 #159

+++ ty tiger. Whisp Aug 2013 #168

No, the term is husband. phleshdef Aug 2013 #173

I looked at Wikipedia to see if they were married and it didn't say. last1standing Aug 2013 #174

I personally don't like partner either. Boyfriend would be more equitable, if they weren't married. phleshdef Aug 2013 #177

"his lover, his most precious person in the world" is not a homophobic insult. pnwmom Aug 2013 #68

As was pointed out to me by the same poster Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #70

So if FoxNews called Michelle 'the President's lover' that would be dandy fine with you? Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #165

The discussion was not about Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #166

What has to do with orientation is the two sets of rules you use and the utter lack of response to Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #167

The points you've made are irrelevant Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #170

You are characterizing the discussion and missing the point so widely I have to assume it is Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #180

Here ya go ... Summer Hathaway Aug 2013 #183

Give it a rest. Blue_In_AK Aug 2013 #22

Where did he advertise it? NT Eric J in MN Aug 2013 #76

Yes. $$$ Everybody knows Britain has tough laws on this. DevonRex Aug 2013 #175

What is "this" that Britain has tough laws on? truebluegreen Aug 2013 #188

Free speech in general. Terrorism, too. DevonRex Aug 2013 #192

Actually I know that. truebluegreen Aug 2013 #193

My point was the deliberate vagueness of the law. DevonRex Aug 2013 #194

Nice dog whistle RetroLounge Aug 2013 #49

Miranda is Greenwald's spouse AND partner. You are infantalizing a half of that partnership. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #61

As you can see, you've only managed to garner 5 recs for this pathetic propaganda. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #66

he is indeed dealing with idiots SwampG8r Aug 2013 #92

I agree, though maybe the young man wanted to be involved treestar Aug 2013 #77

I can't believe a DUer would disparage Freedom of the Press. Octafish Aug 2013 #80

It's surreal. With this tack, these Duers would be outraged that the My Lai massacre, Watergate, myrna minx Aug 2013 #89

It must be a new way of thinking. ''If I don't know about something, it can't be real.'' Octafish Aug 2013 #91

The insistence that Miranda was trafficking in "stolen" information is myrna minx Aug 2013 #140

My Lai makes LBJ look bad!!! QC Aug 2013 #96

No one looked so smart in Haggar trousers! myrna minx Aug 2013 #111

And have you seen his dogs???!!!?? QC Aug 2013 #122

Guy did give NSA the benefit of the doubt. Octafish Aug 2013 #117

This OP is pretty lame. Little Star Aug 2013 #82

Good point. Using anyone that one might care about this way shows callous disregard for them. stevenleser Aug 2013 #85

And you call yourself a 'pundit' and 'progressive'? Octafish Aug 2013 #94

I call myself a human being who wouldn't do that to someone I cared about. stevenleser Aug 2013 #95

No. The issues are democracy and freedom of the press. Octafish Aug 2013 #108

Not under this OP they aren't. I'm happy to discuss them at any time though, as you are well aware stevenleser Aug 2013 #112

This is a discussion board. Octafish Aug 2013 #114

That's right. That means I can call you out for thread/OP-jacking. You dont want to stay on topic stevenleser Aug 2013 #116

No. It looks bad on the UK and US governments who don't like freedom of the press these days... Octafish Aug 2013 #120

Again, the reason you dont want to address the point in the OP is obvious. nt stevenleser Aug 2013 #125

The OP called Miranda Greenwald's ''lover.'' Octafish Aug 2013 #128

Steve was running about DU calling him Greenwald's 'bf'. BF. Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #151

Your denial of agency to Miranda says quite a bit about your belief system, though. Do you HardTimes99 Aug 2013 #121

I'm not denying him agency anymore than I am denying it to my mother, adult daughter or SO stevenleser Aug 2013 #124

That's my point. You don't KNOW that Greenwald asked. If you believe Miranda has 'agency,' then HardTimes99 Aug 2013 #126

just the fact that you claim something was done to Miranda is creepy as hell cali Aug 2013 #142

"our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, ... MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #98

Your concern for his "lover" is noted Capt. Obvious Aug 2013 #90

It's not concern, and I don't think the OP would characterize it as such. I'm not concerned for stevenleser Aug 2013 #100

I love the games you play Capt. Obvious Aug 2013 #101

Oh sure, and the snark about the OP having 'concern' isn't game playing. Nice try. nt stevenleser Aug 2013 #104

Your concern over the OP's concern is noted Capt. Obvious Aug 2013 #107

I'n not concerned and the OP isn't concerned. But you knew that. stevenleser Aug 2013 #110

I know that Capt. Obvious Aug 2013 #119

Can you explain... Oilwellian Aug 2013 #123

"Stolen documents". Really Steve. I thought you were the type to Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #145

LOL! Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #105

You first. Would you give stolen CIA or NSA documents to your child/mother/Significant other to stevenleser Aug 2013 #106

Well, your question begs others to be answered first. Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #130

This is one ugly thread Le Taz Hot Aug 2013 #109
