(62,325 posts)report that showed they were most likely lying, she covered herself by not looking at it, plausible deniability. But no one at this point in time can pretend they were not lying. The whole world knows, yet not one of those Democrats have ever had the guts to say it. The reason is, we have to accept, is that they supported it.
Greenwald need never had told anyone about his initial reaction after 9/11 when many people at first, wanted to retaliate. He was not well known then and didn't really start blogging until 2005. He is honest, though and wrote about it in his book because it is part of the journey he has taken to try to right some of the wrongs he has witnessed, as we all have. and your smear attempts, your pretense that you know anything about him, the personal attacks to try to distract from the wrong doing of our government, are shameful.
Having followed all those writers, including Greenwald, who opposed Bush during those horrible years, I never saw Greenwald tell a lie. Unless you liked Bush of course then the other side of this coin, were calling him a liar. I am so glad not to be among that crowd who supported Bush nor to have moved over to their side because now it is our team responsible for what is happening.
I did see many of our elected officials lying, and lying under the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution.
Your unwillingness to hold those Democrats who voted for Bush's war accountable while smearing with words you cannot possibly back up, a blogger, with no power, speaks volumes.
We need journalists with guts. I think even the cowards in the MSM are beginning to realize the role they played in bringing this country into the dark place it now resides in, and are showing signs of maybe, refusing to be silent just to keep their jobs. Greenwald is highly regarded around the world. It makes those here who try and fail to smear him, look very strange to those watching what is happening here. He has become known for his honest reporting and his courage to stand up for what is right..
