This is an update to my earlier piece on Glenn Greenwald's posts concerning Ron Paul (http://mises.com/blogs/tokyotom/archive/2007/11/08/gg.aspx).
After one of Greenwald's readers drew his attention to my earlier piece, Greenwald stated the following in a comment thread :
"I'll note two points more generally here relating to the broader discussion:
"(1) Criticizing some Democrats and documenting their involvement in many of the worst Bush abuses is not the same as saying that it doesn't matter which party controls the various branches of government.
"(2) The notion that there is no meaningful difference between the parties is one that is more pronounced and tempting -- understandably so -- on days like this, when new evidence emerges of just how complicit key Democrats are in so many things.
"But many -- I'd say most -- people who react that way (again, completely understandably) on days when such stories are revealed are not going to harbor that "no-difference" belief for the next 12 months. When faced imminently with the prospect of a Giuliani administration or a Romney administration and all of the dreck that that would entail, my guess is that the perceived differences will become more pervasive.
"But whatever the results are, one has to describe the corruption and complicity of Democrats when one sees it, and one sees it with incredible frequency. That's just true."

While declining to expressly endorse Ron Paul, Greenwald is also careful to strongly criticize the Democratic establishment for its complicity in our corrupt government.
