re: #9 Dark_Falcon

Bad idea: The charges might not stick and even just arresting him would turn Greenwald into a ‘free speech martyr’. The media would wail in self-serving fashion. And while other people here would look upon this next development happily, I’d find no joy in watching the Republican Party make fools of themselves over the issue. While the GOP has stayed sane on this one so far, footage of Eric Holder or Barack Obama discussing the arrest of Glenn Greenwald would likely serve as catalyst for a font of wingnut rage.

As I said, I wouldn’t like that, but others here might.

Contrary to what you might think, most of us are actually depressed at how wingnuts turn every point into “must oppose Obama and the Democrats” whether or not the country will be hurt by that.

The humor is just a coping mechanism.
