(62,325 posts)The rest of your post is your opinion. Go to Greenwald's blog and provide him with the facts as you see them. I know he has always corrected errors when presented with evidence proving him wrong.
Trashing people on the internet does not accomplish anything, and it's doubtful anyone takes these attacks seriously and merely views them as childish, other than to cause a further devolution in political discourse and harden divisions already there.
I am aware of Rand Paul's positions on issues. But the personal attacks on him during the campaign, only worked to gain sympathy for him and look where he is now?? It would have been far better to avoid those personal and focus on his 'beliefs' and his incosistencies.
People have learned nothing from the Republican attacks on Clinton. Even ordinary Republicans ended up being disgusted by them.
Have all these 'I hate Greenwald' posts accomplished anything? Have they changed a single mind, educated anyone on the issues? All I see is childish 'I hate him' 'he's an idiot' etc. etc. and others responding as should be expected. If that is the goal, to just have food fight, then it has succeeded. But it has not accomplished anything else. Nothing worthwhile anyhow. Greenwald remains a highly respected political commentator and his detractors who are merely flinging mud simply cause people to roll their eyes and point to the internet as a discredited source of information.
