In reply to the discussion: The real reason a very loud few are posting hostility toward Glenn Greenwald at DU: [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)I can only speak for myself, but I am totally open to the idea that people might think what Greenwald and Snowden was wrong for one reason or another.
And I'm okay with anyone who believes -- for real substantive reasons -- that either tey went overboard in what they released or who may believe that we need a whole lotta surveillance on average citizens and sacrifice our privacy for the sake of security.
But my own hackles get raised when it gets personalized as pro or anti Obama, or Greenwald and Snowden get demonized, and anyone who defends then as being Anti-Democrat Libertarian Fellow Travelers.
And conversely, if someone who is right-wing believes in protecting the right to privacy against Intrusive Big Brother Surveillance, I'll agree with them on that, even if I disagree with them on everything else.
