Smearmaster Greenwald's smear campaign against George W. Bush

AS they say - haters are going to hate and smearers are going to smear. 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.

What da fuck? Sounds like he has a history of being a true journalist. Or would you rather read Bob Woodward? He wrote a multitude of Bush shit. That stuff left a smear.

I'd post names, but they can't handle the spotlight when reminded the Bushes are front men for traitors, warmongers and banksters.

Sounds more like a problem with people merely because they were elected (and thus are popular with others).

Libertarians will do that - they consider themselves above all government. Why would they approve of Republicans? They hate them too.
