Hillary is a "soulless, principle-free, power-hungry veteran of DC’s game of thrones"

[Blue_Tires]

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...

1. Um, Game of Thrones is fiction.

[Kablooie]

3. So is American politics.

[Rex]

4. Thread win!

Got it in 3.

[Autumn]

5. I saw what you did there.

yes a very nice work of fiction.

[99th_Monkey]

2. So Greenwald has on opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

so what?

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

[Andy823]

6. What if Jeb Bush runs

Has he come out with the same opinion of Jeb?

[99th_Monkey]

20. Greenwald on Democracy Now for Impeaching GW Bush

Please. Greenwald is no fan of the Bush Crime Family

[Blue_Tires]

10. I just find it interesting comparing who he chooses to speak out about

and those who he never, ever criticizes...

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...

[Marr]

26. Are you claiming that he's never criticized Republicans?

[BeyondGeography]

7. Sounds like she'll be good for bidness

Like he's not rooting for her.

[hifiguy]

8. In other words she's a perfect corporatist candidate for POTUS.

That is old news, though Greenwald is eminently correct.

[Blue_Tires]

12. So even though he's right it's the pot calling the kettle black, then

It hasn't been any big secret which corporate players are pulling GG's strings...

[elias49]

18. Of course GG is not running for prez

so 'pot calling kettle' is a poor analogy. Just saying.

[Blue_Tires]

24. True, but GG is someone of considerable influence

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...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

9. Yes. But, Goldman Sachs is happy to pay her for it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. The Rand Paulite Glenn Greenwald?

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

[liberal N proud]

13. If that is how you feel, then you need to get active and find someone who can beat her

Someone who can beat her in the primaries and then turn around and beat whoever the pukes put on their ballot.

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.

[jeff47]

15. Methinks you haven't looked at the 2016 electoral map.

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.

[JoePhilly]

16. Been recommending that path to the

Anti Hillary folks way back to before the 2012 elections.

[JoePhilly]

14. What's his view of the GOP field?

Does he have little to say on that topic or is it just that no one here post his screeds about the GOP?

[leftynyc]

17. And go after HIS corporate masters?

That's funny.

[onehandle]

19. I thought he was a 'journalist.' That's pure punditry. nt

[Ykcutnek]

21. Aw, it's craving attention again.

How cute.

[pampango]

23. "soulless, principle-free, power-hungry" sounds like something Rush would call her.

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.

[Blue_Tires]

25. "They’ll probably have a gay person after Hillary who’s just going to do the same thing."

Hillary is banal, corrupted, drained of vibrancy and passion. I mean, she’s been around forever, the Clinton circle. She’s a fucking hawk and like a neocon, practically. She’s surrounded by all these sleazy money types who are just corrupting everything everywhere. But she’s going to be the first female president, and women in America are going to be completely invested in her candidacy. Opposition to her is going to be depicted as misogynistic, like opposition to Obama has been depicted as racist. It’s going to be this completely symbolic messaging that’s going to overshadow the fact that she’ll do nothing but continue everything in pursuit of her own power. They’ll probably have a gay person after Hillary who’s just going to do the same thing.

I present your hero, ladies and gentlemen...

[Blue_Tires]

27. Update -- The same day Greenwald was writing this

He made a new hire at the intercept of Sharon Freaking Weinberger(!), a not-quite-reformed MIC shill...

[bhikkhu]

28. I think she has a very strong record, and a good core of Democratic principles

Just to disagree. Her record is public knowledge.

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?

[davidpdx]

29. I don't like either of them

But I certainly wouldn't take political advice from Greenwald.
