greenwalding

Intentionally misrepresenting someone's views. Just like fake journalist Glenn Greenwald does.

Jim said that I supported the war in Iraq even though I didn't. He's totally greenwalding me. What an asshole....

greenwalding

Building a logical, fact centered case, with biting sarcasm, against someone, usually a politician or member of the media -- who is guilt of hypocrisy, wrongdoing, or incompetence.

A proper Greenwalding is done in such a manner that there is very room left for the accused to logically or factually refute those assertions.

It's anything but surprising that President Obama has chosen Elena Kagan to replace John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court. Nothing is a better fit for this White House than a blank slate, institution-loyal, seemingly principle-free careerist who spent the last 15 months as the Obama administration's lawyer vigorously defending every one of his assertions of extremely broad executive authority. The Obama administration is filled to the brim with exactly such individuals -- as is reflected by its actions and policies -- and this is just one more to add to the pile. The fact that she'll be replacing someone like John Paul Stevens and likely sitting on the Supreme Court for the next three decades or so makes it much more consequential than most, but it is not a departure from the standard Obama approach.

greenwashing 

when companies pretend to be environmentally friendly when in fact they are not.

Both are examples of "greenwashing".

- planting a tree to clear your conscience of your new carbon emitting SUV purchase.

- Kyoto accord, the theory of emissions credits, where a country may go over their limit, but instead of dealing with the issue they just buy the unused credits off of a country that has not used all of theirs.
