In reply to the discussion: In 2005, Greenwald defended Tancredo against those calling him out for his racist views. [View all]ucrdem
(15,720 posts)13. Glenn's "deeply held beliefs" appear to emanate from his right rear pants
pocket or wherever he keeps his wallet:
The New York County Clerks office shows Greenwald has $126,000 in open judgments and liens against him dating to 2000, including a $21,000 from the state Tax Department and the city Department of Finance.
Theres no record of those debts being paid, but Greenwald said he believes hes all caught up although hes still trying to pay down an old IRS judgment against him from his lawyer days.
Records show the IRS has an $85,000 lien against him.
Greenwald lives in Rio, because thats where his boyfriend is. His tax problems didnt drive him away.
Were negotiating over payment plans, he said.

It looks like Glenn's biggest if not only problem with the Bush administration is that they required him to pay his taxes.

OP
I've heard republicans call the left wing 'ratfuckers' but never a Democrat.

Bush WAS spying illegally, Congress institutionalized the program in 2006. You're upset that

If Greenwald defended Tom fucking Tancredo, I'd say that's GREAT cause for concern.

No, but I'd wonder what Bush's motives were since I don't trust him given his past.

They agree with what he used to believe, while you are still using their tactics.

If you didn't have a history of digging up dirt on Snowden and Greenwald, I might believe that.

Have you considered that Republicans are obstructionists and Obama doesn't control congress?
