My first reason, my first exposure to him, was him dancing on Hitch’s grave. Just foul stuff. Things like this just add layers to the cake.

My first serious exposure to him was his apologetics for Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008.

I deeply repect people like Glenn Greenwald who stick to their principles even when it is unpopular oder figuratively painful to do so.

I'm fine with defending the free speech rights of Holocaust deniers. Making excuses for them ("questioning Holocaust orthodoxies") is something else.
And Greenwald was much less gung-ho about the free speech of Charlie Hebdo.

He did yeoman’s work on Bush/43-era torture and surveillance. He has never been able to make the connection between big government and authoritarianism.

Glenn holds journalistic contrarianism sacred. He can't abide it when left and right -- and facts -- unite against Trump, he (& Matt Taibbi) needs to stake out the contrary ground.

Chomsky's biggest acolyte is Norman Finkelstein, whose views on the holocaust are basically identical to those expressed in this vid. Funny how Greenwald and Chomsky always seem to be around when it comes time to defend antisemites. twitter.com/MEMRIReports/s…
