Glenn Greenwald with an amusing but inconsequential hypocrisy

A blogger named Patterico makes a convincing case that a fellow blogger named Glenn Greenwald is a hypocrite. The basic charge is that Greenwald accused various bloggers (LGF and Michelle Maukin) as operating a hate site because unmoderated comments were, uh... immoderate. However Greenwald also says that conservatives shouldn't look 'deep into the comments' in, say, the Huffington Post for immoderate comments.

What makes this especially amusing is that Patterico traces the IP address to show that someone using Greenwald's computer has made immoderate comments himself using pseudonyms. This detective word is explained at:

behind-the-greenwald-sock-puppetry/

and a explanation of the commenters at left vs commenters at right sites is at:

and-rick-ellensburg-the-three-most-hypocritical-men-on-the-planet/

So Greenwald pretty obviously has done what he has said should not be done without an explanation, or an admission, of why he changed his position.

However since Glenn Greewald is not a very important character this bit of hypocrisy is not very important either.
