I’ve said it before and I will say it again; Arianna Huffington is nothing more than an ex-republican, DLCish, corporatist shill in “progressive” disguise.
Watch as MSNBC (disclaimer: MSNBC is partly owned by GE… war profiteer extraordinaire) helps spin up lies and disinformation for the imperialist war effort of the Obama administration. It’s nothing new for them as they did the same thing leading up to the illegal invasion of Iraq (for those that don’t remember, “Countdown” used to be “Countdown Iraq” prior to MSNBC’s firing of Phil Donahue for not towing the globalist line in 2003).
In this video you will see a number of warmongering shills spinning up misinformation and innuendo while Glenn Greenwald simply attempts to inject a little reason into the mix such as “We have to look at what they have actually done as opposed to condemning Iran with rhetoric…”
Of course, Greenwald is shown the door and Huffington is allowed to stay on for the rest of the show so she can continue her shill-game unencumbered by facts.

You’re coming back with a vengeance Scott.
I call her a controlled opposition media whore. War is their biggest money maker.
And although I agree with most of what Greenwald says, is he becoming a ‘designated dissenter,’ much as Ron Paul is?
Nice reply by Greenwald.
Check this one out:

If they keep this up, we’ll be at war with the entire world…. us against them… and we’ll lose big time..
Maybe the white house water is got a war virus in it.
Greenwald had the easiest position to take for any type of rationality in this argument, and he still conceded on the point of the president of Iran being a loose canon. Netanyahu, and Obama, and Brown are the crazies. Their position is ALWAYS military, with negotiation being merely a PR step toward that goal. Iran not only has every right to have a nuclear program of energy, but they have every right to have a nuclear weapon for determent. If they had a nuclear weapon, 200 million Iranians would be considered people. The link below seems to have been missed from the state-run news…

Huffington is a hypocrite and a propagandist when it comes to the Israeli Palestinian conflict as well.
Since the comments section of her website requires moderator approval, most comments are slanted – not necessarily in favor of Israel or against the Palestinians, but in favor of lies and unsubstantiated propaganda.
From personal experience I have found that factual and reliable information that reveals Israel for the criminal state that it is, is not approved, but empty rhetoric and rants, discrediting the Goldstone report are approved in succession. Rebuttals are curtailed and often not approved.
In essence, Huffington is no different than CNN and Blitzer, the ex-AIPAC employee.
The only comments that Huffington will allow are usually mild, somewhere along the lines of “the settlements are bad”.
She shills, and she shills well just like her ex-boyfriend Bill Maher.
