In reply to the discussion: Wow, Greenwald in a new light [View all]TheWraith
(24,331 posts)48. Frankly, I don't blame a lot of people who did.
It was easy for a lot of people to lose their shit right after 9/11 and get carried away. But Greenwald took entirely the wrong lesson from getting hoodwinked. What he should have learned was to take his own opinions and assumptions with a grain of salt, and that his perspective isn't always the right one. Instead what he "learned" was to simply be more extreme and puritanical, double down on believing he was right about everything, all the time, and treat everybody (with the apparent exception of Ron Paul) as if they're the enemy.

Your posts are not intellectual criticism. That is, you do not argue the topic
