With Glenn, just sayin.

On FISA, silence means consent.

TROLL PROPHYLACTIC We can't know if Hillary would have done better, or not. Certainly she showed no great interest in this issue. But she's not the presumptive nominee of the Party. Obama is. It's his call.

You're a racist, Lambert!

You intentionally used a black and white Obama photo to make him look darker. I won't even go into what you did to his facial features...

Yeah, off topic, but I'm having a hard time seeing a vote for Obama as a tacit approval of the absurdity of the previous paragraph. And since Obama showed no leadership challenging his supporters who made claims similar to the above paragraph, I see no reason for him to show leadership on much else if it doesn't suit his ends.

Only tyrants rig elections.

Yeah, I know that!

Your point?

[x] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

Nice of Greenwald...

Lambert, Greenwald has been writing about this FISA thing for weeks...

FINALLY, when its just about too late, he notices Obama's lack of leadership on the issue.

Greenwald is part of the problem, imho. He's scapegoated everyone in the universe BUT Obama for this thing (and is now using to to RAISE MONEY -- Greenwald the bundler!) when -- had he called out Obama on this weeks ago, Dear Leader might have taken a real stand.

Greenwald has turned into one of the bloggerboiz... an Oborg who is using his blog to promote his own personal ambitions/status. (check out how often he's been showing up on bloggingheads of late...)

I can't believe anyone expects Obama to take a stand on anything

seriously--don't even bother asking him or demanding anything from him.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
