In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald blasts Hillary Clinton: “The ultimate guardian of bipartisan status quo corruption” [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)209. How come suddenly it's not okay to applaud people who realize they were wrong and then go on
a mission, as Greenwald has, against those who he once trusted?
He was NEVER a neocon. He was an American who, like many of our Democrats after 9/11, ALSO SUPPORTED BUSH, like Hillary eg.
Bush's approval ratings in 2001 were in the 'nineties. That includes a whole lot of Democrats doesn't it?
How come it's ok for Hillary to support Bush with a VOTE in the past and STILL support many of his policies?

He was a "Wall Street attorney" for 18 months, right after he graduated from law school in 1994.
