Don't care how wonderful others find him, he creeps me out for no fact-based reason other than he "creeps me out."

during the interview because you people would actually think Hayes was holding Greewald's balls throughout the interview.

You hate Glenn Greenwald and had to do some kind of post that expressed your opinion in the only language you could use to get your view across? ...kind of disgusting you couldn't make your point with more erudite language...but...whatever.

But it sure got the attention of the others and you who swung and missed (no, I don't mean you all picked up baseball bats and swung them at your computer but made no contact).

I'm counting down the days before the "All Black/All White" groupthink turns on Hayes and Naders him.

If you don't understand anything here, try this: start a thread about a policy most liberals will champion but make sure you can attribute the policy to something Nader said. The meatheads (no, their heads aren't literally pot roast) here will flame your thread because you put Nader's name is in the title, and at DU, Nader-is-all-bad-all-the-time.

Hence, Nader'd.

Others include, but are not limited to:
Snowden
GG
they're all self-prompters selling their books

EDIT: many of the the goons (hockeyspeak for "enforcer&quot Nader'd Bernie Sanders!

and not knowing if you are speaking about Chris Hayes of MSNBC .. that he was cupping Glenn's balls...etc... it was hard to make out what the heck you were saying.

I defintely must have missed what you were saying and got bogged down in the way you said it.

Hope that clarifies. Whatever it was ...I tried to answer what I interpreted of what you posted.

This thread had nothing to do with Hayes, who I like very much. It was meant to call out the goons before they began to bully others because Hayes seemed to be far too cozy with GG. They'll turn on anyone and in large numbers.

I'm disgusted, and excuse me for being a lesbian and recognizing an air of homophobia.

GG is gay. So no "kissing his ass" or "brown nosing" GG = homophobia.

I think KoKo was right to express that the comment was done in poor taste. You're going to have a terrible time sussing out perceived "homophobia."

<---- that is offensive to many people. Let's make a list of all the things at DU you do find offensive or *should* be offended by, if not personally, then for the sake of others who are offended.

uh wut?

If you want to know what happened. I'd recommend The Snowden Files over it, however.

That being said, it's clear that the book or the releases so far have not resulted in reforms.
