Glenn Greenwald ain't no Libertarian, Part 2: Wall Street

[Luminous Animal]

46. Okay.

There is a difference between matching funds financing for campaigns than advocacy financing of positions. Public financing of elections would make a big difference especially on local and state levels. And on local and state levels is where democracy percolates up.

Greenwald has never once advocated for unfettered free markets. Where do even get these notions? Holy hell man... he has spoken at the Socialist convention every year for the past 5 years.

He has presented himself as an activist since he wrote his first book, "How Would A Patriot Act".

OMG! I hope anyone who is paying attention to this exchange clicks on that link! Really dude? Here is and excerpt to your link:

It is not okay for you to decide to put a rope around someone’s neck and deprive them of oxygen. And if you decide to withhold from someone the medical treatment they need to keep breathing, you’re killing them just as surely. Hold on now, am I saying that healthcare is a right? No, I’m not, and it isn’t, it’s a commodity just like milk and eggs, and like milk and eggs you can’t have any unless you pay someone who knows how to produce it. But once again, I’m not talking about healthcare. I’m talking about health insurance. It’s not the doctors who are seizing control of that life-or-death decision, it’s the insurance companies. Decisions about the lives of American citizens – the kind of decisions that we would only entrust to a quorum of legislators or a panel of duly appointed jurors, are being made every day by private citizens. And it’s not a terrorist or a murderer whose life hangs in the balance. It’s mine.

Hahahaha! And there is so much else crazy there!
