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

He's never argued for tax cuts, he's never argued for increased military spending, he's never argued for restrictions on abortion, he's never argued for restrictions on gay marriage.

What he has done is criticize Obama's right-wing policies, and that make people angry.
