Greenwald: "Hillary is banal, corrupted, drained of vibrancy and passion...a fucking hawk..."

128. Well, I am consistent, I don't make excuses for some and not others

I also remember how it felt being a rare minority that opposed the war from the very beginning, I know you were too as I have been here a long time and well remember how consistent you have been.

You, like me I am sure, felt rage at the impotence of our voices as we marched en masse against the war only to see all the news act as if the many thousands of us never existed and our many protestations never happened. The complete news blackout sucked.

I place GG in the same class as my mother that was behind it mostly because she trusted our government and thought they knew what they were doing but upon reflection and learning a few facts was in the end marching with me and the veterans against the war across the peace bridge in protest and support of those young men seeking refuge in Canada. I forgave her because she was tricked but after she learned some truth recanted and did her best to oppose it.

I can never forgive those that enabled such death and destruction directly. People with power that used that power to herald death have blood on their hands, such blood does not wash off easily.

I don't remember your stance on the Afghanistan aggression, but I opposed that as well because I felt war against a population was not the way to fight the crime of terrorism, criminals should be sought as criminals and populations that have nothing to do with the criminal actions really should not be slaughtered as a solution. If they had fought terrorism as the crime it was, many more Saudis than Afghanis would have been sought, but it never was about justice but rather war for profit and resources and perhaps even as a method to destroy our civil liberties, using tragedy as the excuse.

I don't get how posters here feel such hatred for Greenwald for his private initial support of the war while cheering those with the real blood on their hands, it is pure hypocrisy.
