because it is a red herring. Red herring arguments are always irrelevant.

decriminalization for CATO based on the Portugal success, he was advocating a liberal point of view. When he spoke at CATO about the results of his white paper, he was advocating a liberal point of view. When he is invited to speak, year after year, at the Socialist convention he speaks from a liberal point of view.

A large contingent will fall strangely silent.

All those RWNJ.

....and see all the young people embracing socialism!

I am pretty involved with the San Francisco socialist party and I recently joined Socialist Alternative. http://www.socialistalternative.org

Known Libertarian Glenn Greenwald at a Socialism conference?

There's trouble afoot!

Here's a pic of him about to sink his Libertarian Zombie Vampire fangs into Kshama Sawant:

Did you know the Koch brothers actually take orders from Greenwald?

The depth of his evil is unplumbable.

government. Whatever. I am an AMERICAN. And I don't know what I am talking about. Except when I am talking.

it seems a strange venue for him: it might mainly reflect just how incoherent and unorganized so-called "socialists" are in the US today

Nothing in Greenwald's history suggests he has ever had the slightest interest in, or sympathy for, anything that might be called "socialism." His stance essentially revolves around opposition to government. He has no discernible analysis, except opportunistic outrage over cases like that of the lunatic Barrett Brown. Objectively, he's really no friend of self-described "socialists"

......in a program filled with lefties such as Amy Goodman and others farther to the left than she is. It would appear they see him as one of them.

Perhaps you'd like to remind us about how many folk the movement has elected in recent years, or about its legislative victories, or about its other successes

Out of the ashes rises #15. Globally.

or about its legislative victories, or about its other successes

I am seeing comes from Greenwalds detractors.

or about its legislative victories, or about its other successes

look how many bandwagon fans the Red Sox have across the country.

"opportunistic" "outrage" "lunatic"! So says a self-described "DEMOCRAT!!!!" Subjectively.

the Congressional Republicans were a major impediment to this goal. So SEIU began laying plans to support Democrats in the 2012 election

Greenwald reacted with his predictable outrage, objecting that SEIU had endorsed Obama for 2012, despite the fact that the 2012 election is almost a full year away and nobody knows who is running against President Obama -- as if the Republican challenger would likely be an improvement -- and complaining further that SEIU was hoping to shape, fund, dictate and decree an anti-GOP, pro-Obama march -- as if SEIU's experience with Congressional Republicans couldn't justify opposition to Republicans and their policies. In the same article, Greenwald further objected formulating specific legislative demands and working to elect specific candidates on the grounds that we should be working outside of political and legal institutions -- which is a recipe for accomplishing nothing whatsoever. Greenwald's theory is that we can somehow instill a healthy fear in the hearts and minds of the most powerful political and financial factions and that change will some flow in a magical manner from that. It's a moronic strategy. One obtains definite results by working towards definite results; if one has no definite goals and merely sets out to frighten people whom one regards as opponents, then probably something will happen, but it is unlikely to represent progress towards the secret goals one has refused to state explicitly. The only possible outcome of following the strategy recommended by Greenwald is burn-out and cynicism -- and that only serves the status quo

Here's the link to the article, yet another of his bullshit productions. Don't tell me Greenwald supports unions, and don't pretend he supports the working class, because he supports neither. He's an opportunist, looking for attention, with no real concern about the issues and no insight either

.

invite an actual socialist to speak at their conference?

Greenwald's legions of supporters in the cyber-anarchic-libertarian world ain't gonna like this...

at the convention for the last 5-6 years. Now that they know, I suspect massive outrage on twitter. #Greenwaldnotacyberanarchiclibertariancryingmyyesout

I'm interested in hearing what kind of speech he delivers to a socialist audience now that his profile is a million times bigger...

Thanks for the thread, grasswire.
