(62,325 posts)are TRYING but FAILING to do. They are attempting to smear him. And I have a feeling they are being used unwittingly by whoever got the contract to do just that, to 'smear and discredit Greenwald' I believe it was. The Security Contractor, HB Gary who was bidding on that contract was exposed when their emails were hacked by Anonymous and we got to see with our own eyes, how a smear campaign against bloggers (he was only a blogger at the time) is prepared.
HB Gary had to shut down, at least publicly, but it's clear someone got that contract. You can tell by the half dozen or so 'talking points'. The Libertarian one, which has been debunked so often you wonder why they keep reintroducing it, was supposed to discredit him with the 'Left', the Right already hated him.
So imo, most of them know they are smearing Greenwald, that is the objective. He threatened the Big Banks, (the contract being bid on by HB Gary was for BOA eg, so they went after him. Now he has threatened the criminals who are dismantling our Constitution, so I imagine more contracts were up for bid. But they must have cheaped out, these are old talking points. Lol.
