I don't really like Greenwald much, but I can't stand those who attack him for who he is and they can all go straight to hell.

(68,868 posts)someone they don't like by invoking the fact that they're GLBT, or black, or a woman, or a Jew or Muslim, that is an attack on everyone else who's GLBT, or black etc etc.
Just takes a little irritation for the veneer of "of course I abhor bigotry" to get rubbed off.

I will learn what I can, and come to my own conclusions.
