Proud Member Of "The Glenn Greenwald Left" Here.

178. The intensity of emotion re Greenwald is coming from elsewhere. It isn't coming from the Left.

He's a writer, one who became one of many who had the guts to oppose Bush during the years when the Corporate Media were afraid to do so.

He mostly focused on Civil Liberties, and the lies about Iraq.

Suddenly, ever since he wrote about the Banks a couple of years ago he has been attacked and singled out as practically an enemy of the state.

So, to those of us who rarely read him, this sudden interest in him by anti-Civil Rights and pro-Wall St contingencies, has necessitated some push back.

And since it was learned that he was considered such a threat to the status quo the Banks were hiring 'Security Contractors' to do 'smear campaigns' against Greenwald, it seemed imperative to step forward and support his right to publish his opinions even if the Big Banks don't like them.

Talk to those who can't seem to stop talking about him here on DU. My OP was merely a silly response to the latest more than ridiculous attack on the Left using Greenwald to do so. If THEY stopped talking him, you would probably rarely see anyone else here do more than post a link to his column every once in a while and it would most likely sink.

But why do they think he is so 'dangerous'? That is what all their attacks have done, to make people more aware of him and to ask 'what is the problem here'? I guess the smear campaign has kind of back-fired, which is probably a good thing.

No one I know ever viewed as a 'hero', just another anti-Bush policies blogger, until now.
