So, in your opinion, people aren't speaking out enough against Hillary and her vote? Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #98

Yeah, this is exactly how you do your bullshit. scarletwoman Jun 2014 #58

I want to hear more about how Greenwald thought Bush the Chimperor Idiot Son made eloquent speeches. Whisp Jun 2014 #66

So fucking what? It's in the forward to his book, he's admitting he was ignorant at the time. scarletwoman Jun 2014 #76

how can we be sure he still isn't ignorant? Whisp Jun 2014 #92

Well, you CAN be damn sure that he wasn't supporting Bush and the wars in all the years scarletwoman Jun 2014 #99

Around the time everyone else who supported the war backstepped... Whisp Jun 2014 #104

Did you take a poll? scarletwoman Jun 2014 #107

Most network yappers were hot for war. Whisp Jun 2014 #116

And what network was Greenwald on prior to 2005? scarletwoman Jun 2014 #124

His opinion was that Bush did the right thing Whisp Jun 2014 #135

Just keep repeating yourself. scarletwoman Jun 2014 #151

To save his "ignorant skin" from what? Spell it out.Step by step. What was he saving. Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #111

So he did indeed support Bush and his wars just like my first post in this thread had stated. Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #71

How the fuck did he "cheerlead"? scarletwoman Jun 2014 #83

OK he didn't "cheerlead"... Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #88

Okay, AGAIN - this is from the forward to his book where he explains where he was at BEFORE scarletwoman Jun 2014 #94

Yes...and my very first reply in this thread stated the following: Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #96

Lying by omission, also known as exclusionary detailing. Electric Monk Jun 2014 #100

So stating that Greenwald supported Bush and his wars is a lie Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #101

When you leave out the rest, for context, yes, it is indeed a lie. A lie of omission. Like I said.nt Electric Monk Jun 2014 #115

My first link mentions that it's from his book. Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #119

Your first link is to a blog post by someone doing the exact same smear job you're doing. scarletwoman Jun 2014 #145

And it's a totally dishonest smear, since he never wrote a single word supporting Bush. scarletwoman Jun 2014 #102

Greenwald did indeed support Bush and his wars Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #105

So did Ms Clinton. And she has never retracted. Greenwald did. Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #118

Ya...and Hillary is attacked for her support of Bush's war. nt Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #120

As she should be. Because she stands by that support. Greenwald rejected it... Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #126

Anyone who supported that clusterfuck should be whacked for it. nt Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #129

So. You won't vote for Ms Clinton if she is the candidate. Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #140

I've stated numerous times she wouldn't be my first choice. nt Cali_Democrat Jun 2014 #141
