Showing Original Post only (View all)Glenn Greenwald ain't no Libertarian, Part 1: Defending Social Security and Medicare [View all]
(The first in a series on pervasive lies spewed on the Internet)
Glenn Greenwald is on record as opposing Obama's attempts to cut Social Security and Medicare, e.g.:
Reports: Obama pushing for cuts to Social Security, Medicare
Obama and progressives: what will liberals do with their big election victory?
Defending entitlements: does that sound like a Libertarian? I don't think so.
Greenwald is a strong advocate for civil liberties, not a Libertarian.
So why do I care? Am I just a Greenwald fanboy?
I care because truth is important. Only the truth will get the 99% out of the crater we've allowed ourselves to get stuck in. When people on the Internet write that Greenwald is a Libertarian, know that they're either lying or ignorant. Either way, they are not truth tellers, and all information they supply should be treated with great skepticism.
