(1,948 posts)being built several blocks away from Ground Zero (yes, I actually took time to like at the blog you joined our site just to self-promote) is in the business of trolling the internet to expose Greenwald as not being a real progressive? And what is your basis for this? He's a "Paulian Anti-Interventionist" unlike progressive you who supported an illegal war of aggression that has caused a million Iraqi citizens to be killed?
I don't know what you know about this site, given that you just joined it to promote your blog and your fixation's on Glenn Greenwald, who dared to criticize Israel's bombing of Gaza, but it that's your definition of a progressive you aren't going to find any here.
As for Chomsky, I am very familiar with his writings and have even had the great honor of meeting him (very briefly) on two occasions. He is absolutely nothing like Ron Paul and it is comical to assert the two are part of some sort of similar political ideology. That being said I am not a cultish follower of either Chomsky or Greenwald--I can think of numerous positions I disagree with both of them on off the top of my head, but I still respect them deeply and admire their work (Chomsky more than Greenwald).
Only person who strikes me as a cultish follower is you--who joined this site just to spread your anti-Greenwald pro-war blog posts. I think if you wanted to raise the "you're only a progressive if you support the war in Iraq" bit I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised.
Enjoy your stay on DU.
