So sayeth Glenn Greenwald...Well, I guess if anyone would know it's ol' Glenn, since he is quick to recognize his own kind...
So is this supposed to be the "fearless" journalism, or the "adversarial" journalism? Someone please help me out...

Should he be "forbidden" to speak out against a Clinton Dynasty?

And I've always had an issue personally with Greenwald stuffing in so many opinion pieces into a $50 million blog which supposed to be about hard news and investigative reporting...From a professional standpoint, I'd just as soon not see the two jumbled together on one page...

(33,688 posts)That is old news, though Greenwald is eminently correct.

(4,259 posts)so 'pot calling kettle' is a poor analogy. Just saying.
Blue_Tires
(55,445 posts)if DU is any indication, and I'm hard-pressed to remember any harsh columns he'd have written about her back when she was SoS or running for office in '08...I also have a sneaking suspicion that GG won't be anywhere near as critical towards other presidential candidates...
Nevermind the fact that even if she wins, Hillary is more than two full years away from even taking office, and longer than that before she's able to implement any policy...And since he no longer lives in the U.S., I'm not sure how any of Hillary's as-yet-unnamed policies in her yet-to-be-won presidency would affect his daily life...

Yes Rand Paul is the guy Greenwald's been pushing.

Right now Hillary can beat any puke with the potential to run. Keeping the pukes from having all 3 branches of the government is a priority.

(26,549 posts)Democrats need 1 "purple" state to get to 270.
Republicans need to run all 9 "purple" states, and flip one "blue" state.
It's not going to be difficult for the Democrat to win. But I'm sure Clinton could find a way to Coakley it up. After all, she was just as much an inevitable force in 2008. Even after she started losing primaries.

(27,787 posts)Does he have little to say on that topic or is it just that no one here post his screeds about the GOP?

(24,692 posts)We can have other candidates we support without going that far with respect to Hillary. The whole "my opponent is the most evil person to ever walk the face of the earth" mentality is pea-brain right-wing thinking.

Anyone with specifics to refute it, rather than the same vague slander we could hear any day, and time, from hate radio and the teabaggers on the right?
