Media Matters for America
Glenn Greenwald posts an attack on him by Joe Klein:
As for Greenwald, he knows little about politics, less about journalism and cares not a whit about the national security of the United States. I find the Limbaugh-like, knee-jerk devotion of his flock depressing.
Wow. Isn't that exactly the kind of obscene demagoguery Klein has repeatedly denounced when it comes from the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove?
:
KLEIN (3-5-2009): But even if you grant Bush his principles, his Administration--unlike Obama's--politicized everything including foreign policy, which was both unseemly and unprecedented. Rove used the late, unlamented "War on Terrorism" as a cudgel to question the patriotism of those who disputed Bush's prosecution of it.
Apparently Klein doesn't really object to questioning the patriotism of those who dispute tactics used to fight terror -- he objects to other people questioning the patriotism of those who dispute the tactics used to fight terror.
