Anti-NSA activist and noted stretcher of the truth Glenn Greenwald praised the rightwing fringe
group Oathkeepers for their support of convicted criminal Bradley Manning on
Wednesday.
Greenwald tweeted out a link
to a post at Reason magazine noting the placement of an
advertisement by the Oathkeepers supporting Manning on Washington, D.C.’s,
metro system. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs highlighted the
irony of the far-left activist praising the far-right organization:
Who is this “coalition of
current and former military, police, and other public officials” Greenwald is
promoting?
It’s the “Oathkeepers,” one
of the most extreme right wing militia groups in the US, and one of many
offshoots of the Patriot movement, with numerous ties to white nationalist and
xenophobic anti-immigrant groups. Their founder, Stewart Rhodes, believes
Barack Obama is plotting to disarm American citizens and turn US cities into
“giant concentration camps.”
Update: The author
of the original Reason post notes
that he did not “praise” the Oathkeepers ad but instead said they
were “inventive” and had “chutzpah.” We regret the error.
