Hi. I'm part of the left and think Glen Greenwald is great. limpyhobbler Jul 2013 #7

Funny, with your disdain for the left whatchamacallit Jul 2013 #10

What people don't understand about Greenwald is that he is a reporter and a Cleita Jul 2013 #17

His training is as a lawyer, and he uses truth as a lawyer flamingdem Jul 2013 #20

So because he's a lawyer, he's not a journalist in your mind? Cleita Jul 2013 #22

Greenwald is not a journalist. OilemFirchen Jul 2013 #129

I have absolutely nothing against Holt, AllINeedIsCoffee Jul 2013 #44

So you are criticizing Greenwald for supporting a candidate Maedhros Jul 2013 #56

Cory Booker's defense of Wall Street may hurt his status with liberals, but it won't hurt his bank Zorra Jul 2013 #41

From the same article: AllINeedIsCoffee Jul 2013 #50

The point here is: Greenwald is a left progressive, who is supporting a left progressive Zorra Jul 2013 #66
