96. greenwald is a piss poor liar.. so easy to spot unless of course
Mon Aug 5, 2013, 11:10 PM
Aug 2013

ya don't care wtf he says as long as he's lyin' about Obama.

Furthermore, Greenwald continues to conflate legitimate whistleblowers with men who’ve leaked national security secrets, generally either to the press or to foreign governments. Based on the fact that the president signed the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act in 2012, he’s clearly used his authority as a means of encouraging government workers to come forward through proper channels and expose anyone who’s engaged in waste, fraud or abuse.

Extremist language used by a compulsive exaggerator.

I call "exaggerating" lying.

Mahalo, she
