(62,325 posts)Greenwald seriously. Let's see, The Chilean Government is working on developing their own internet to protect themselves and their citizens from NSA spying. Sounds like a damn good idea considering the facts revealed by Greenwald. And Germans, except for Merkel who seems to terrified of upsetting the US for some reason, are considering RETURNING TO TYPEWRITERS to stop the US from spying on them.
The whole of Latin America is outraged at the intrusions into the lives of their citizens and are seeking ways to block the NSA from any access to their citizens personal lives.
I could go on, but Greenwald seems to be taken seriously by Presidents around the world and their citizens. I mean if you want to insult someone feel free, but use something that is factual to do so, otherwise it just sounds silly considering the amount of serious attention that has been generated towards Greenwald.
And in case you didn't know, the BOA took him seriously enough to put out a contract on him, BEFORE all of this, to 'smear and discredit' him because of his blog posts about their criminal practices. And he was just a blogger then.
So 'no one takes him seriously' is not a very good personal attack since it could not be further from the truth.
