Morning Awful: Greenwald’s Enemies List

He thinks he is on one — and that it includes

Dan Choi Joan Walsh Lawrence O’Donnell Jane Hamsher PJ Crowley Rachel Maddow Paul Krugman Ed Shultz Tavis Smiley Michael Moore Howard Fineman Chris Hayes Ariana Huffington Keith Olbermann Jonathan Capehart Cenk Uygur Dennis Kucinich Matt Taibbi Elijah Cummings Adam Green Maxine Waters Peter Daou Richard Trumpka Cornel West Laura Richardson Alan Blinder Matt Damon Jeffrey Sachs Robert Reich Joseph Stiglitz

First of all, some of those people are supportive of the president generally and critical on specifics. That’s okay; criticism of policy is within bounds. Hell, according to the “logic” that makes Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann and Lawrence O’Donnell “enemies,” I am on that enemies list, too. Second, few of the names on that list have any real power to effect change. Only Dennis Kucinich is actually in Congress, and he’s being redistricted out of the job.

This is almost entirely a list of opinion-holders, and that’s fine, but what’s the “theory of change” behind it? Or is it just more firebagging victimhood?
