Smearmaster Glenn Greenwald's smear campaign against George W. Bush

[Douglas Carpenter]

AS they say - haters are going to hate and smearers are going to smear. Glenn Greenwald did not begin his smear career with President Obama - he was doing it way back before Obama came to the White House. It seems that he thinks that just because someone is in powerful position - that they are supposed to be criticized - Imagine that!~!

He also wrote three books about the George W. Bush Administration; The New York Times-bestsellers How Would A Patriot Act? (2006) and Tragic Legacy (2007), and his 2008 release, Great American Hypocrites.

1. I think Greenwald could rehabilitate his reputation.

<snark> Professor Krugman was firmly under the bus a mere four years ago, but they let him out when he gave the President an "A-" so forgiveness is always possible! </snark>

2. Lol, that's true. It must be hard to try to decide when to smear and when not to smear.

IF the cause of the smear is a particular politician.

It's so much easier to just stick with principles. You don't have to keep switching your 'affections'.

3. +1 All that is necessary is to love Big Oligarchy, Big NSA.

At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmic chant of 'B-B! .... B-B! .... B-B!'—over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first 'B' and the second—a heavy murmurous sound, somehow curiously savage, in the background of which one seemed to hear the stamps of naked feet and the throbbing of tom-toms. For perhaps as much as thirty seconds they kept it up. It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.
