Glenn Greenwald Is Keen To Undermine Republicans By Pointing Out Their Sexual Hypocrisies, But When It Comes to Terrorists, He's Strangely Offended By the Idea That the NSA Would Reveal That Pious Islamists Are Into Porn
— Ace

Great and deadly point, by Stewart Baker at the Volokh Conspiracy.

Greenwald's latest bombshell is that American Intelligence considered revealing jihadists' sexual and financial hypocrisies in order to undermine their moral authority. The author of the piece at Volokh, Stuart Baker, gave a comment to Greenwald's co-writer, asking, rhetorically, Â“Why wouldnÂ’t we consider doing to Islamic extremists what Glenn Greenwald does routinely to Republicans?Â”

Greenwald's piece quotes almost everything else Stewart Baker said to the co-writer-- but not that part. Why? For the obvious reason:

It turns out that Glenn Greenwald has written an entire book devoted to exposing the contradiction between RepublicansÂ’ ideology and their private lives. In GreenwaldÂ’s words, Â“While the right wing endlessly exploits claims of moral superiority Â… virtually its entire top leadership have lives characterized by the most decadent, hedonistic, and morally unrestrained behavior imaginable Â…[including] a string of shattered marriages, active out-of-wedlock sex lives, and highly Â‘untraditionalÂ’ and Â‘un-ChristianÂ’ personal lives [endless detail omitted].Â” His book certainly makes the NSA memo sound restrained and cautious, but both are motivated by the same idea.
Grim and Greenwald very likely cut the quote because it would have undermined the narrative of the piece, which combines solicitude for the poor Islamists whose sexual and financial hypocrisy might be exposed with outrage at the NSA for even considering such a tactic. The quote would have made them look like, well, hypocrites.

47 In the Left's deluded worldview, the enemy is Western Civization, and that it is the straight White cis-gendered X-tian male that is responsible for all oppression. If Muslims hate gays, it is because of some nefarious plot by the straight White cis-gendered X-tian males (AKA the "Kyriarchy"). I've seen LGBTQ Arabs and Pakistanis support the destruction of the West and support of Jihadis. Their hate blinds them.

Earlier today I learned a guy on my softball team went missing last night. Went out for a bike ride, never came home.

They found him today and he's gone. Don't know what happened yet.

He never picked up a bat or ball before this year. Russian immigrant. By the time the season ended, we had him turning 2 at 2B and hitting solid line drives.

Fuck this world. I want off.

53 If there's an argument against this, I think it's more along the lines of what Patterico is saying which is: expect government to abuse this power. (Obviously though that's possible without government spying. Greenwald clearly got information about people's sordid pasts.)

62 On the subject of hypocrisy, when conservatives commit hypocrisy, they make their own lives worse. When liberals commit hypocrisy, they make their own lives better.

See, for example, Obama, Biden, Kennedy's etc., and the fact that not one of them, or their spawn, has ever been subjected to the horrors of the public schools nor will they ever lose their employer provided health care to sample the wonders of the Obamadontcare exchanges.

For the same reason you can't shame Glenn Greenwald, no matter what his private sex life might be. He holds the morally superior high ground because he is not a republican.

Posted by: Sleepy Time Temp Agency at November 27, 2013 11:25 AM (kUNiC)

68 I am not a Christian but I hate the hypocrisy argument used against them. Obviously, one must have standards or a moral code before one can fall short of living up to them. Leftists can never fall short of their moral standards because they do not have any... certainly none that are immutable and not subject to changing with the fashion of the day. And let's be clear here, when your political philosophy is based upon solving every problem through force and theft how would it even be possible to have a moral code?

BTW, I bought some stuff through Ace's link when I was Christmas shopping the last week or so. I hope he gets credit for it since I am not sure if it only counts the first page you go to once you go through his link or if it follows you from there once you are on Amazon for the entire session.

I think everyone here is very grateful for the work Ace does. I know I am. So this is a good time of year to show it.

78 I am not a Christian but I hate the hypocrisy argument used against them. The argument's stupid. Christians believe they're in a lost and fallen state and only Jesus Christ can save them. Their standards are passed to them from a perfect being, God. We know we can't be perfect, except through repentance which is only available to us through Christ's sacrifice. So where's the hypocrisy? We advocate for God's standard knowing we fall short. If we were advocating for our own standard AND denying we fall short, maybe.

99 Glenn Greenwald has a poster in his cubicle that says Live, Laugh, Love. And has a Julia Roberts poster as his screen background.

100 Glenn Greenwald has a poster in his cubicle that says Live, Laugh, Love. Right next to the one that says, "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was." As opposed to mine: "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it."

101 Me, I'm just stalling, delaying the inevitable pasting on of good cheer about seeing "relatives" foisted upon me by accidents of birth, bad choices, and God's directed malice. Posted by: tubal at November 27, 2013 03:30 PM (YEQ2h) There is no malice in God. Malice is a sign that something is missing that should otherwise be there. In the case of your relativesÂ….it's their brain.

103 Toronto. No idea what happened to him yet, but my very first thought upon hearing that he was missing: cities are poison. I am very worried for his wife and 2 young daughters. I also have two young daughters and this not only makes me very sad and upset, but it scares the absolute shit out of me. Posted by: grognard at November 27, 2013 03:28 PM (/29Nl) I can imagine how that feels. Truly. You will never find me anywhere near one, ever again. Sorry to hear about the disappearance and death.

Thanks Soona. The best course of action is to put myself into a turkey and dressing semi-coma, pushing the droning of a houseful of insufferable Libidiots chirping about their Messiah. Reminds me of the ants in "Once and Future King" talking about how awesome the "Mammy Song" was.

105 Strangely, Gleen never seems to want to discuss his need to blow himself thru sockpuppetry either. Posted by: Fritz at November 27, 2013 03:35 PM (UzPAd) Wait. That's actually possible??? Hmmmmm. Could me a more interesting Thanksgiving than I originally planned.

106 Earlier today I learned a guy on my softball team went missing last night. Went out for a bike ride, never came home.

They found him today and he's gone. Don't know what happened yet.

Damn. Sorry to hear that.

Posted by: rickb223 at November 27, 2013 03:20 PM (8D0/R)

Add to that the circle o'life. Just found out that my 24yr old nephew just got his GF pregnant (she already has baby from prev marriage, Oy) My wife and I are the only people who know, we of course are happy, God (and his aunt and uncle) will provide, my nephew's Liberal mother on the other hand...

109 OT: and a side note. I had a student (not mine, just on campus) tailgating me. Like vroom vroom on my arse. So I pull off and let him by, then, like the me I am, I follow him.

He parks. I call him over, roll down the windows.

He approaches from the passenger side with his right hand hidden on his hip (hint: nonverbal cues are pretty important).

I'm nice... even nicer than usual (laugh here if you desire). Tell him that driving that way is irresponsible (nutshell of the conv). He's a total dickfucking asshole about it.

Turns and *puts the blade he had back into his sweats* and high-tails it out of the parking lot.

The rest of the story is inconsequential. But two solid take away points are that most of us are armed with more than a swiss army knife, and the kids today don't respect anything.

Stay safe and eyes up.

115 The contrast between ideology and private behavior is more acceptable for Republicans because it typically doesn't cost me anything. Unlike the hypocrisy of the global warmingistas who get rich and lead lavish lifestyles telling everyone else to reduce consumption or pay through the nose. Like that bloated tick Al Gore. How much as the global warming scam cost productive societies?

117 Has Gleen ever considered the avarice and larceny, not to mention tax avoidance, of the Democrats, even while they decry everyone else under the sun as being greedy? I've said this beforeÂ…. Libs wail about hypocrisy in conservatives and not amongst themselves because everyone expects liberals to be amoral scumbags.

The Leftist has no humility. They are raised to believe they are the brightest star, the most unique snow flake. When life slaps them in the face with reality they lash out at others. See Alec Baldwin, Dan Savage and any number of professional athletes.

I'm in a dead phase where I took too long to renew my CC (90 day renewal), so campus security here suggested (with blessings of the sheriff's dept) that I open carry.

135 I always carry a knife. Have for years. In my car, I have a Cold Steel OSS under the front seat. Laws are nice and all, but to quote St. Augustine who was mentioned upthread, "an unjust law is no law at all".
Smart guy. Quotable as hell. I'll take my chances getting pinched by our "protectors". Never use anything to defend yourself unless you need to.

Posted by: Lefty McFucknut at November 27, 2013 11:55 AM (dvRYt)

138 I think I can carry a knife. I think below 3" concealed, above 3" open.

I do not think I can take public transit, however. And honestly, if I am forced to carry open above 3", that limits my options.

If I'm going to have to deal with hysterical leftists who cry like a baby over a kitchen-knife-sized tool, well, I'll go whole hog and open carry my sword.

I would carry a larger blade concealed so I could take it on transit. Probably breaking laws in 2 cities there, not to mention provincially.

140 Grognard. I've been feeling the same way since last week. My seventh grade daughter has a classmate whose father stabbed his daughter (the classmate's sister) to death and then lit himself on fire, and died in the burn unit. The police aren't saying anything about motive and there will be no trial, and my daughter's friend hasn't been in school or heard from since it happened. Don't know whether there's a mother on the scene. Rumor is it was some kind of honor killing situation but who knows. I just can't stop thinking about poor kid--thirteen years old and the one day his life explodes. Dad killed his sister on the front lawn and then killed himself. Can you just imagine?
