Scandalous details about Glenn Greenwald!

Yesterday, Glenn Greenwald noted in passing that Misha the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, one of the Big Boys of the right wing blogosphere, was encouraging readers to murder Supreme Court Justices.

Quoth Misha,

“Five ropes, five robes, five trees.

Some assembly required.”

Being the charitable guy he is, Glenn argued that it would be unfair to hold the rest of the right wing blogosphere responsible for Misha’s aberrant misanthropy. We shouldn’t assume that Michelle Malkin, Captin Ed, and other top right wing bloggers who have Misha on their blogrolls are sympathetic to his weird little homicidal fantasies. They shouldn’t have to denounce him explicitly. It should just be obvious that nobody takes Misha seriously.

Nevertheless, Riehl World View was perturbed by Glenn’s mild-mannered little post, and penned a rejoiner entitled “Enough Greenwald, Already”.

It’s blistering stuff. I must say, I’ll never ogle GG in quite the same way again.

The RWV’s devastating gotchas include: As First Amendment litigator Greenwald argued that it isn’t necessarily a crime to call for the murder of judges, he doesn’t keep his law license current now that he’s not practicing law, and, wait for it...he’s verbose.
