Years ago this was a real fan base. I once found him provocative and smart. Just saw a post re: Glenn's tweet about leaks being bad and wondered who here still supports him?

He has not worn so well with me. He has become ridiculous. He is not helping our side now. | |

People like Greenwald will never be on our "side." Nonetheless, I support him.

(15,412 posts)5. years ago, when he had a small blog on the side, he seemed to make sense
Maybe I was an idiot for taking so long to see he's not really a liberal at all. He's the flip side of Bannon.

(71,265 posts)6. People change and I think he did.
Don't blame yourself for liking him in the past.

Saw him in Cambridge with Noam Chomsky.
Not interested in what he has to say any longer.

He always had that smirk that needed to be knocked off.

politically anyway

and hardly said anything about tRump. That's when he lost my respect.

...that is about Russia is commented on by many many Russia sympathizers.
