In reply to the discussion: Greenwald uses Bergdahl to hit Obama, Democrats [View all]Cha
(319,866 posts)125. Greenwald's an ignorant ratfucker and here's why..
Libertarians are poisoning the left and trying to undermine it.
Libertarians are posing as liberals and trying to RATFUCK the left.Their primary goal is to undermine the Democratic Party and hand elections to Republicans.Their strategy consists of...
1) ingratiating themselves with the progressive media
2) Pushing the meme that Democrats are just as bad (or worse) then Republicans
3) Dismissing Racism as "identity politics"
4) Promoting far right wing politicians as "true progressives"
5 convincing disgruntled progressives to vote 3rd party or not vote at all
6) Attack traditional Democratic Voters & their issues

Glenn Greenwald Unethically Taped Witnesses While Working for Matt Hale, White Supremacist.
snip..
"Mr. Hale, for his role in the shootings, was sued by a number of survivors. This included a case filed by two teenage Orthodox Jewish boys. And another case filed by a Black minister. These people were selected by Benjamin Smith because they looked like the religious/ethnic minorities they are.
And Glenn Greenwald called them 'odious and repugnant' for suing his client--"

Only it's Greenwald who is "odious and repugnant".. whatever he's posing as.. here he is now trying to keep himself relevant and suppressing the vote in 2012.. when he "expertly previewed the 2012 election"..
The GG fanclub is evidently ashamed of his libertarianism and are trying to rebrand him as anything but..
Greenwald: "The sole excuse now offered by Democratic loyalists..

At a talk given the day after the 2010 election one that was a disaster for Democrats progressive writer and civil liberties lawyer Glenn Greenwald gave a talk at the University of Wisconsin, and expressed the hope that Democrats might suffer the same fate in 2012.
...the idea that taking money from the Koch brothers for a one-year drug-decriminalization project shouldnt be disclosed each time Greenwald attacks progressives while defending the Kochs/libertarians pet projectsas when Greenwald defended Citizens United, much to progressives confusion, or when Greenwald attacked our article in The Nation about the Koch-funded libertarians leading the anti-TSA union campaignis plain wrong and ridiculous. Payoffs and influence-peddling usually come in more subtle forms than payments marked BRIBE.

The Greenwaldistas think Berghdal's release is a "distraction" from NSA. The flipside of that

They could bring a legitimate charge against him. It looks like he may have broken the letter

I'm gonna say that's extremely likely. CATO approved talking points are so quaint, aren't they?

I disagree with Greenwald on this issue, this wasn't a "transfer" or "release"

"...utter nonsense." So those two quotes weren't from your OP. Interesting.

Greenwald keeps showing us what he's about. He's all about hating on Obama.
