Proof Glenn Greenwald hates Obama

[caseymoz]

58. A fallacy: After this therefore because of it.

Post hoc ergo proctor hoc. The timing of his turning against Bush does not, cannot prove insincerity and opportunism was the motivation. Sorry.

Opinions are easy, but backtracking is a bitch. That could account on the delay alone. The timing of the collapse of Greenwald's support probably was when everybody else could no longer deny the man's incompetence.

The real turning point against Bush, as I remember, was Katrina. That's when his approval rating really dropped, even among people who voted for him in 2004. Were all of them insincere and opportunistic, too?

And anybody who has a lot of trust only to have it collapse is going to look carefully and ask a lot of questions before they trust again. And I'm afraid Obama has not stood up well to his questioning.

And remember, there were what were called "hit pieces" against Bush in his years, one of them by our own William Rivers Pitt. And guess what? They turned out to be dead accurate. Writing against Obama means nothing about whether Greenwald's works are accurate or not. And maybe he writes it more than once because he feels like he was ignored before.
