Post <blockquote>Because the people who seek to make controversy over the alleged meaningless of the term are usually exactly the sort of people the term applies to? Again, I'm sor/ry that your education has failed you so badly or left you so politically uninformed that you're not able to immediately perceive and understand how the term is being used. There seems to be strong push-back from some people over the leftist understanding of the term -- trying to hijack the thread to air your own linguistic grievances against the left is petty. Deal with the content of Said's essay if you can. Nah, this is a straw man. As someone else said, you'd have nothing to work with if you didn't put words in people's mouths. That or your reading comprehension again. The argument you failed to meet wasn't that the term is meaningless. It's that it has a disputed meaning, which is why you need to justify your usage of the only guy you've read's definition. If you don't understand that, we can't help you. And lying about what we said isn't going to change anything. Greenwald probably said “what about Said” to a corporate Dem, owning them with facts reason and logic.</blockquote>
