In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald defends Republicans trying to sabotage Iran negotiations. [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)and in doing so, you continue to not discuss what Greenwald said and why it is problematic despite the fact that many folks who have been Greenwald fans here have explicitly called his comments out as wrong.
So even though your tactics don't deserve a response on their merits (because they dont have merits) lets do it anyway.
1. Republicans engaged in what some call treason and violation of Constitutional separation of powers and the logan act and send this ridiculous letter to Iran.
2. Reid (and other Democrats) say this is an abuse of Presidential authority, backstabbing the President, not supporting the President, what have you. In other words, taking the Republicans to task on this.
3. Greenwald attacks Reid for getting after the Republicans on this.
OP says Greenwald "defends" Republicans. Well, attacking someone attempting to take someone to task for something definitely hurts the attempt to take them to task and definitely could be phrased as defending the original person/group for their actions. Defending might be a little stretch, but only a little one.
Again, though, concentrating on the use of the word "defends" isn't the point, is it?
