Googling Young Americans For Liberty brings up this site with a cute, inviting youtube video embedded which, in its first 8 secs, tells you it’s the nation’s largest and fastest growing libertarian and conservative organization. About half way through its 2 min 16 seconds, you discover that Young Americans for Liberty is allied with Americans for Prosperity, the American Majority, The Campaign for Liberty, Freedom Works and the Leadership Institute, and that its goals are to win at least 25 elections on behalf of these fine institutes. You also get hit up for a donation. They’re pretty up front about who they are. No beating around any bushes whatsoever.

So, I have to wonder what on earth a fine, dudebro, progressive, far-left liberal journalist such as Glenn Greenwald was doing, trying to help win at least 25 elections on behalf of the AFP, Freedom Works, the Leadership Institute and the American Majority. Did he, exemplary journalist (cough) that he is, not realize what the goals of the organization he was speaking for were? Did he just not do even a 3 minute google on Young Americans for Liberty? I find that very hard to believe. Or will he just speak for anyone who will pay him enough? Would the KKK be a group he wouldn’t directly associate himself with? How about Fred Phelps?
