I’m violating a rule of thumb of mine by not ignoring Glenn Greenwald. He’s his usual intellectually cheap lawyerly self, once again deliberately misreading me as if his readers were dumb jurors in need of being led around by the nose (and judging by email from his readers, he’s right). The other night I pondered that some segments of the Democratic Party would become “unhinged” if Obama loses, given the messianic aura around Obama. So, of course, Greenwald (to the applause of this guy) insinuates I’m talking about black people (it’s amazing how lefties hear “codewords” where they don’t exist). Typically, he scores a twofer by insinuating it’s obvious that I’m being racist and by accusing me of lacking the courage to say so outright. Of course, he himself doesn’t have the courage to accuse me of racism outright.

Whatever Glenn. For the record, I’m not talking about black people at all. I’m talking about conspiracy-minded, paranoid, nearest-weapon-to-hand debating, financially secure white bloggers and other members of the lefty-blogosphere like, you know, Glenn Greenwald.

The MoveOn-”don’t taze me bro” crowd is still convinced the election was stolen from John Kerry. If Obama loses, people like Greenwald and Ezra Klein will hurl their Ikea throw-pillows with unbridled rage.
