In reply to the discussion: Who is this Glenn Greenwald guy? [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)4. Some blogger that some people on the left like, others hate.
He apparently tends to say things that are controversial, giving those that hate him fodder to attack him constantly.
Hah. Melissa Harris-Perry just actually made the same that Greenwald did in his latest controversial tweet, that US interventionism could actually be harmful as well as helpful, and could make things worse in Nigeria. I doubt she'll get viciously attacked like he did, though, because she moderated slightly, and didn't just assume we'd screw things up.

I have read Greenwald for years, and he has never taken a right-wing position.
