In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald defends Republicans trying to sabotage Iran negotiations. [View all]Chathamization
(1,638 posts)Why do his opponents feel the need to lie and call him a libertarian (when he supports expanding the welfare state and praises socialists), say he hates Democrats (when he's probably raised more money for Democrats than just about anyone here) or say that he supports Rand Paul for president (he's never said that, and the twitter page in the OP shows him attacking Paul)?
I remember a line I heard once - "And they hate them a lot more than they hate us. We're just infidels - but they're heretics." I guess a lot of people have this mindset; it's the reason why James Carville is happy marrying a Republican operative, but absolutely hates Nader.
It's funny, a year ago people were saying Greenwald was a horrible person because he was against US military intervention in Nigeria. You don't hear much about that anymore...
