(62,325 posts)a smallblogger, like so many of the rest of us.
He attacked the Bush War Criminals and the Crooked Banks on a regular basis earning the hatred of the Far Right, which to his credit, he appeared to enjoy and was adept at smashing their moronic defenses of War Criminals and Wall St crooks.
The 'left' discovered him and enjoyed immensely his smackdowns of Right Wing morons, considering at the time, our Corporate Media appeared to be terrified of them. It was like water in a desert at the time.
Greenwald of course has not changed one bit, he still enjoys and still does so adeptly, smacking down Right Wing morons, who still hate him. At least they are consistent.
But oddly, something happened on the 'Left' re Greenwald. At least among a small section of the Left.
While the Right remains consistently anti Greenwald, (he always allowed the morons to post on his blog then appeared to enjoy smacking them around like rag dolls which of course we on the Left totally cheered him for), a few on the Left appear to have 'changed'. HE, otoh, didn't change.
So considering that his main issue was ALWAYS the abuses by the Bush gang of our rights, using 9/11 to do so, and STILL IS, curious people have been wondering, why have a few on the Left joined the morons on the Right in their hatred for Greenwald?
HE enjoys the battles.
He was just a small blogger like everyone else, but it was his willingness to tear apart the moronic attempts from the right wing moronic Bush supporters, to try to defend the indefensible that attracted the Left, to sort of watch the show. He was doing something our corporate media 'stenographers' never had the guts to do.
Lol, having watched all this for years now, I KNOW he is enjoying the 'battle' as he picks up Pulitizers while the Right Wingers still seethe that rather than destroy this 'lieberal moron' which they threatened to do, he has USED them to earn a far larger audience, now worldwide.
Who would have though back in 2006 that this blogger would be where he is today?
I imagine he smiles at the 'outrage' and the attempted 'smears' (most likely paid for as we learned by one of the 'security contractors' who probably got that contract they were bidding on) by the permanently disgruntled on the Right now joined by a few on the Left.
It's been quite a ride for him and us. I imagine the last thing he wants is for his 'enemies' to stop attacking him. After all, without them, he would STILL be writing his thoughts on a little blog somewhere in cyberspace.
Rock on Glenn, you got all the 'right' people upset! Lol!
