RW Free Beacon jumps for joy.
Glenn Greenwald attacks Mark Ames and Yasha Levine for implicating the Koch cartel in TSA hysteria mongering (as employees were looking to unionize) - turns out Greenwald had been coaching John "Don't Touch My junk" Tyner:

Glenn Greenwald attacks Make Ames again for an article outlining the ACLU Libertarian faction/Koch contribution explaining why "proponents of campaign finance reform" would side with the Kochs on Citizens United allowing for a corporate fire sale on Congress critters (as does Libertarian Glenn Greenwald): http://www.futureofpando.com/2014/04/17/uh-huh/
Ames' original article on Koch/Libertarian ACLU doings:

The internet is littered with progressive bloggers, left-wing activists, and reporters that Greenwald has attacked... many of them shocked as his attacks tend to come out of the blue.
And why exactly would "progressive Glenn Greenwald" tweet a link to right-wing militia nutters, Oath Keepers, who joined Cliven Bundy for his armed and violent anti-government Christian Identity white supremacist patriot militia hoedown in Nevada?

And while Libertarian Glenn Greenwald of Cato Institute would have us believe that Koch-funded Cato is a staunch defender of civil liberties, the reality is that Cato Institute operatives wrote the legal justification for the 'War on Terror,' warrantless wiretapping, indefinite detention, the Patriot Act, torture, etc.:

As to is actually assaulting Social Security and Medicare, the Koch cartel that Greenwald insists on defending at all costs: http://www.futureofpando.com/2014/04/17/uh-huh/

None of this sounds "progressive" in the least.
Liberals, pull your heads out of Greenwald's rear end and stop playing footsie with Libertarians.
