In reply to the discussion: Flashback: Glenn Greenwald writing about Bush in 2006 [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)15. Wonder if Greenwald considers
the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act an "unprincipled" hack? From the link you provide:
My blog has become one of the principal online gathering places for citizens of every ideological perspective and background who are truly alarmed by the law-breaking powers seized by the Bush administration, and who want to take a stand in defense of the principles of government and the Constitution. Original reporting on my blog led directly to frontpage news stories on the NSA scandal in media outlets such as The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and Knight-Ridder. And when the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on March 31, 2006, regarding Senator Russ Feingold's resolution to formally censure the president, Senator Feingold read from my blog as he questioned one of the committee's witnesses, former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean. Let it not be said that our voices cannot be heard in the halls of government.

Democrats debate issues and understand that the world isn't black and white. It's beyond disgusting that a hypocrite like Greenwald continues to spew his vitriol at supporters of the President who disagree with him. Given his support for the illegal war in Iraq, his attempts to portray Obama supporters as similar to Bush supporters is pathetic.
Here's something he should consider: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022351762

That was no apology. True, it may have been before he learned to hide it better. nt
