Nor is cutting/pasting reams of limp denial (where he tries to insist that CATO is "better" than the Democratic Party....yeah, sure! And call anyone Joe McCarthy who doesn't agree, too!!).
He was paid a stipend for them for a long period of time--see, that's when he was writing that "report" for CATO. He was also paid appearance fees for showing up at CATO insider/donor events.
Now, you can call that something other than "employment," but when he prayed "Give us this day our daily bread" his prayers were answered by Koch.
And it's not being "Joe McCarthy" to point that fact out. But yelling "Joe McCarthy" at people who point out these facts? Why, that's something interestingly pathetic and humorous, right there!!
Yours is the funniest (albeit, I'm sure, unintentionally so) post I've read today.
And then, of course, there's this.....

Glenn Greenwald is a constitutional lawyer and widely read blogger for Salon.com. His work has focused on civil liberties, the expansion of federal power, and the loss of transparency in government.
He has also been published by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The American Conservative, as well as the Cato Institute. He is the author of the books A Tragic Legacy (2007) and How Would a Patriot Act? (2006).
Greenwald is routinely cited as one of the most influential American pundits active today. He holds a B.A. from George Washington University and a J.D. from New York University Law School.
I guess he "contributes" out of the goodness of his heart, is that it?
Why don't you call me another derogatory name, yeah, that's the ticket!!!!
But before you do that, watch this video, where he acknowledges his association with CATO goes back to 2008...
