Glenn Greenwald: his media army of Libertarian disruptors

Another Glenn Greenwald eruption, and more howls of outrage from the Liberterian Purity Left when we real Democrats stop Greenwald COLD with our version of the TRUTH!

But did you know that these Homeland-hatin' LibSymps are even embedded deeply within our media?

Knowledge is power, people! KNOW YOUR ENEMY!

Look, with your own eyes, see what these so-called "Democrats" in our very own media have to say about the most hard-core Libertarian on Earth today:

"Glenn Greenwald is not just the American Left's most fearless political commentator; his fearlessness is such that he has shifted the expectations for everyone else, too. His rock-ribbed principles and absolute disregard for partisan favor have made U.S. political discourse edgier, more confrontational, and much much better."
- Rachel Maddow

"The first thing I do when I turn on the computer in the morning is go to Glenn Greenwald's blog to see what he said. He is truly one of our greatest writers right now."
- Michael Moore

"The most important voice to have entered the political discourse in years."
- Bill Moyers

Do we really need to hear any more of this? I think we all know what's going on.

Regards,

[strike]Al-Qaeda[/strike] [strike]ISIS[/strike] Khorasan-is-the-most-dangerous-danger-ever Manny

1. I'm curious about Glenn Greenwald's fireworks show that he promised

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024947685

GREENWALD: "There's a story from the beginning-I thought would be our biggest- & I'm saving that"

Q: How much more is there to release—and what burden do you feel to get it out there?
Greenwald: We published the first article while I was in Hong Kong last June and won't stop until we're done.

I think we will end the big stories in about three months or so . I like to think of it as a fireworks show: You want to save your best for last. There's a story that from the beginning I thought would be our biggest, and I'm saving that. The last one is the one where the sky is all covered in spectacular multicolored hues. This will be the finale, a big missing piece. Snowden knows about it and is excited about it.
