AS they say - haters are going to hate and smearers are going to smear. Glenn Greenwald did not begin his smear career with President Obama - he was doing it way back before Obama came to the White House. It seems that he thinks that just because someone is in powerful position - that they are supposed to be criticized - Imagine that!~!


2008 Bill Moyer interview with Glenn Greenwald about the George W. Bush legacy

He also wrote three books about the George W. Bush Administration; The New York Times-bestsellers How Would A Patriot Act? (2006) and Tragic Legacy (2007), and his 2008 release, Great American Hypocrites.

1. Is this a smear of Greenwald?

Just wondering?

[Douglas Carpenter]

4. no, just whistle blowing

[AgingAmerican]

6. You make zero sense

Neither in your op nor your answer

[Quantess]

9. I get it.

It's a subtle reminder of the days when Glenn Greenwald was popular on the DU, and why he was popular.

10. and demonstrates

Partisanship trumps reasoning. Principals be out the window, should they collide with our pet politician.

2. I always thought that Bush was so bad as pres. it would be impossible to smear him. Whatever was

said was pretty much true, no smears needed.

[cui bono]

3. Yup. Funny how he wasn't so bad back then.

But when he goes after a certain someone... ooh... that's bad. Fact of the matter is, he doesn't go after people, he goes after bad policy. Wherever it may lie.

8. What ^ cui bono ^ said. +100 eom

5. Wow - Some Did Not Mind The Greenwald Heat Then - Wonder What Changed

eom

[Douglas Carpenter]

11. I've been trying to figure that out too

[Quantess]

12. Oh come on. Isn't it obvious why?

Take a guess.

[Douglas Carpenter]

14. well, just judging by what some folks here were saying back then and what they are saying now.

He used to be a good journalist who had a fantastic past who wrote good articles about bad people. But sometime after 2008 he turned into a bad journalist with a horrible past who wrote bad articles about good people. Am I on to something here?

[Quantess]

15. That's how it appears, yes.

But it seems nearly impossible for the Greenwald haters to chalk up to it.

7. if Ted Cruz ends up in the White House - will Greenwald and his lackeys be smearing them too?

It would NOT surprise me one little bit!

[Fumesucker]

13. Well they certainly should, it will be all their fault if Cruz becomes POTUS

If we criticize right wing policy as Democrats then Republicans will win.

Or something.
