(36,649 posts)And instead support Libertarians like Greenwald & Snowden, then you are not in fact a supporter of Democrats and Democratic issues. Period.
The fact is that anyone who agrees with Ron Paul - as Greenwald does - or has contributed to Rand Paul's campaigns - as Snowden has done - has NO BUSINESS EVER claiming to support individual civil rights. Libertarians are nothing more than anarchists who want police protection from their slaves. And in their world you would be the slave. A liberal would recognize that.
And no, the people who saw through Greenwald's hypocrisy from ~2004 on were not cheering him on then and are not now. We knew he was a know-nothing blowhard doing nothing but tooting his own horn, and warned people away. The only ones taken in by hiss antics are the same people promoting him now - people who wear liberalism like a fashion statement.
