- aqme28 13y agoI don't see how that's really relevant to literally anything. The crux of Greenwald's response: "Given that I had never written about Sam Harris, I found it odd that I had become the symbol of Harris-bashing for some of his faithful followers. Tweeting a link to an Al Jazeera column about Harris and saying I find one of his quotes revealing does not make me responsible for every claim in that column...That said, what I did say in my emails with Harris - and what I unequivocally affirm again now - is not that Harris is a "racist", but rather that he and others like him spout and promote Islamophobia under the guise of rational atheism." http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/03/sam-harris-muslim-animus http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/03/sam-harr... edit: by not relevant, I mean that Sam Harris's opinion of Greenwald doesn't mean that Greenwald has indefensible opinions.
- ixnu 13y agoMore to the point of your response to; "Greenwald is by no means perfect." I agree that he is by no means perfect and can hold views that can be seen as the parent's point.
- aqme28 13y agoI was asking for clarification on Greenwald's "barely defensible" positions. Sam Harris's gripe with him isn't really about that.
