Those who have Serious Problems with Glenn Greenwald..Is it Him or His Reporting?

68. He took money for the precise reason he said. To write a paper about drug

decriminalization. The "drug war", it's inherent racism, the incarceration of millions of people, is important. That report ended up in major MSM news which is a good thing. You should read it. It's findings have empowered the anti-drug movement with oodles of important information. He's also taken money from the ACLU and he's spoken at the national Socialist convention. As he has said, he would speak anywhere to advance liberty and justice. Hell, I am an atheist but I've worked closely with nuns on homeless issues... what does that make me?

He supported a very narrow interpretation of citizens united (as did the ACLU). The radical activist court went well beyond the what both Greenwald and the ACLU advocated.

Do you realize that, if we restrict the political voice of corporations, that unions, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, etc., would have been barred under the same rules? Why? because they are registered corporations. Greenwald argued this point many times in his column. Do you want Planned Parenthood, NOW, the AFL-CIO to be banned from political speech before an electon? Both Greenwald and the ACLU believe that there are better solutions than restricting speech that would harm both the left and the right.
