(32,886 posts)and had to walk that back. Assange's statements admitting there were people armed with RPG's and AK-47s in the crowd the helicopter fired on is on video and not in dispute. Assange and Greenwald had little to nothing to say when Bush was in power. Greenwald gets very defensive when you bring up Greenwald's own written statements saying he trusted Bush with Iraq for a long time.
Assange, who tells everyone who will listen that he is a completely altruistic guy whose goal is to put out the 'unadulterated truth' but he lied about the collateral murder video and says he admires Matt Drudge and Ron and Rand Paul.
What is the commonality here? What do you get when you put these pieces together?
You get Assange and Greenwald and Snowden being Right Wing Libertarians who are willing to do anything to hurt Obama and Democrats and bring Ron and Rand Paul and folks who believe the things they believe to power.
