'Frequently Told Lies' about Glenn Greenwald, by Glenn Greenwald.

193. Distorting his honest words is despicable. It is Rovian in its sheer reprehensibility. But it is a

reality in this country now. To take someone's words and distort them, to do 'opposition research' on someone who is merely writing about politics, and try to dig up dirt and when, as in Greenwald's case there is no dirt, to make it up.

THIS is a threat to this country and I am encouraged to see how many people are speaking out against it. Showing their disgust, as the people did when Clinton came under attack by the Far Right lunatics. People viewed their transparent goals as far more vile than Clinton's own behavior. But in the process they destroyed a president's ability to do the job the people wanted done.

And that is why these smears and lies about journalists must constantly be exposed. As they are.

And anyone who actually cares about this country would never dream of participating in such Rovian tactics. They would set aside their own biases, and refuse to be tempted to join the perpetrators even if it might help them politically.

I can't think of anything that would get more respect than for our elected officials on all sides to condemn these vile tactics.
