From Politico:
"[Glenn] Greenwald theorized at Salon on Tuesday that [the White House's progressive-blog-bashing] rhetoric was designed to preemptively designate a scapegoat for an expected electoral defeat in November...."
"As we head into a November election that looks more and more like Democrats are going to get slaughtered, I think they are trying to set up a villain, someone to blame other than Obama," said Greenwald. "And that villain will be the left."
Looks to me like Greenwald's rhetoric was a preemptive strike at rhetoric designed to preemptively designate a villain. Back to you, Chet. You can't fire us, we quit. Nah-nah-nah-nah we're not listening.
Just one larger question for Mr. Greenwald. Has he ever honestly contemplated the immense complexities of governing in a pluralistic society as opposed to exercising easy theory and keyboard philosophy, which, unmiraculously, always seem to work?
OK, one more. Does Mr. Greenwald believe that America should pay for whatever he perceives as Mr. Obama's sins with a malignant GOP majority?
Joe Klein was right. To paraphrase, Glenn Greenwald is to political realities what Sarah Palin is to macroeconomics.
