The swiftboat like smear machine against Glenn Greenwald goes into high gear. Who's next? [View all]

[Better Believe It]

Greenwald is an Obama bashing, liberal hater. And as for The Nation, I got a few issues on a “try out” basis. I didn’t take all I was supposed to get. I called and cancelled. To me, it was mostly an Obama-bashing publication and seems to be dedicated to splitting the Democratic Party. Read far more that was favorable to the very extremist left wing than to the core party itself. There’s a whole lot of crazy stuff out there.

Likewise “progressive” websites like Common Dreams, TruthOut, Reader Supported News. The latter is bombarding my emailbox once or twice with pleas for donations saying they need money badly. Maybe they have turned off Democrats like me who do NOT want to see a Republican sweep next year. Huffington’s Howard Fineman on Lawrence O’Donnell tonight is saying that the White House has a terrible relationship with Democrats in Congress.

I think that many on the left are not really Democrats; that is, they have no real loyalty to the party as a party. It is more akin to a vehicle for them.

Glen Greenwald has long been a hyperbolic Lefty anarchist flame-thrower. His shtick is to attack power, no matter who has it. The fact that he got dressed down by on old DC hand like Lawrence O’Donell (twice) for his “if Obama were further Left he’d won 2010″ shows that for all his bluster – he’s mostly hot air.

Expect the political rhetoric and swiftboat like personal attacks against Greenwald and other progressives to increase in intensity as we get closer to the election. You could call it the Naderization of liberals. BBI
