(10,007 posts)First, a link to Greenwald's own rebuttal to your claims: http://ggsidedocs.blogspot.com.br/2013/01/frequently-told-lies-ftls.html
You claim that Greenwald is:
"Iraq War supporting" - Greenwald has never written anything in favor of the Iraq War nor argued for it. If you want to make this claim, provide a link to an article by Greenwald that proves it. In the ten years since the war was launched, Greenwald has been a consistent critic of our military interventions.
"War Mongering" - Again, his extensive volume of work since 2003 comprises unwavering disapproval of Bush's and Obama's military activities abroad. There is no way to read Greenwald's column and deduce that he is a war monger. Quite the opposite.
"CATO Institute winger" - He doesn't work for the CATO Institute and is not affiliated with them in any way. In his entire career he was involved with CATO-sponsored events exactly twice: a 2009 report on the success of drug decriminalization in Portugal and a 2010 online debate in which Greenwald was pitted against former Bush Administration officials and argued against the evils of the surveillance state. Pro-drug-decriminalization and anti-surveillance are not right wing positions.
Now, I've just provided a link with evidence that disputes your claims. It's up to you to provide links to evidence that support your claims. This is how the exchange of ideas works. Simply throwing out ad hominem insults is insufficient.
