is come clean. He's a Bush lover, a Ron Paul supporter, and a staunch Obama hater, right from the start.

Why are you defending a Republican supporter on Democratic Underground?

Greenwald HAS no credibility - at least, not as a Liberal or Progressive. He supported Bush no matter what, he's touting Ron Paul for President and he eviscerates Democratic President Obama every chance he gets. Why are you so passionately defending him?
