in regards to marriage equality. I believe Obama when he says he has evolved (but I won't give him a 100% pass, since he still believes in the bigoted notion of states rights) and I believe him when he says he's evolved to mostly a bigot just slightly a bigot.
I've been here for a long time and Greenwald was regularly cited and supported on DU when he criticized Bush for similar things he is now criticizing Obama. It might be an interesting study about he went from champion for civil rights (during the Bush admin), to pariah for civil rights (during the Obama admin) in a span of 7 years on a democratic discussion board.

Dorner is a murderer on the run--he's not "threatening the status quo." Greenwald isn't that

I love the explanation---he didn't have many readers then, so it's okay to be racist.

They can't counter Greenwald's argument so they are trying to delegitimize him.
