42. So, in other words, you can't defend what you posted.

I've never said you can't criticize Greenwald. He's actually using some lazy hyperbole here to make a valid or at least debatable point. But he HAS clarified the point previously and it didn't include how much Rachel Maddow sucks. What I have said and implied is you don't get to criticize Greenwald by making stuff up, because you can't see beyond cult of personality. If you are looking for "agenda," there you go.

I have been a big fan of Rachel for a long time, posting her stuff here long before she ever had a TV show, and will defend her when necessary. But you, apparently, would not be aware of that, since you seem to know nothing about me beyond what you want to make up in your head about me.
