Touching a Nerve



By Baxter

Oh, no! Now liberal-loser killjoy Glenn Greenwald is whining over at Salon about the DNC's "standing with the terrorists" response to the RNC! The Democrats are being Rovian! Eeeek!

As you might expect, Mr. Greenwald's post goes on, and on, and on. Without even being able to finish it, we cats suspect that the thin-skinned Mr. G. is feeling a mite besieged.

We wonder why. The right wingers are siding with the terrorists. When he attacked President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize yesterday, Rush Limbaugh — with no prominent Republicans repudiating him, by the way — actually invoked the Taliban and said he agreed with them. If that's not siding with the terrorists, we don't know what is.

So we can't fault the DNC for firing back. After years of Republicans accusing Democrats of being unpatriotic, the irony too delicious to resist.

But — back to Glenn Greenwald. Why does he apparently think that the DNC's statement is all about him? Why does he feel it necessary to lash back in his eye-glazing blog with paragraph after paragraph after defensive paragraph? Is it possible that his uncanny resemblance to the right-wing absolutists over at Free Republic is starting to dawn on him?

We cats doubt it. This guy is a problem we're not going to be able to fix, and worse yet, he's boring us. Time for a nap.
