GLENN GREENWALD DISCOVERS SOMETHING ABOUT KEITH OLBERMANN that the rest of us already knew. “Strong and righteous words indeed. But that was five whole months ago, when George Bush was urging enactment of a law with retroactive immunity and a lessening of FISA protections. Now that Barack Obama supports a law that does the same thing — and now that Obama justifies that support by claiming that this bill is necessary to keep us Safe from the Terrorists — everything has changed. . . . What’s much more notable is Olbermann’s full-scale reversal on how he talks about these measures now that Obama — rather than George Bush — supports them.” Do tell. It’s as if Olbermann were some sort of dishonest hack or something.
UPDATE: Don Surber:
It’s the Trotskyites vs. the Stalinists.
Like Olbermann, my money is on Stalinists.
I do believe he’s right about Olbermann.
