The "crap" is all those right-wing nut-jobs who shout down town-hall meetings instead of letting others ask questions and have conversations. May as well give those nutters jackboots and armbands, 'cause they think they have the RIGHT to intimidate people. And that's what people DO when they don't have anything of substance to say... if I've learned anyhting from this board, I've learned that.

Hello,

I think in this case the White House made a decision that they did not fully appreciate the potential consequences of.

No harm, no foul, just so long as they dismantle the project and avoid making this mistake again in the future.

P.S. Twas neither hitler nor the commies who inspired the laws that protect us from this sort of thing. Twas the actions of our own government right here at home.

Hello,

This post in neither about right wing nutjobs nor about union thugs. It's about the White House collecting information about counter-propaganda campaigns.

It was Bush.

What? You didn't think Obama was going to hand back that power once the way was cleared for him to use it, did you?

Why do you think so many of us were so vociferously against giving the President that power in the first place?

So NOW you're upset about it?

By the way, I got a copy of that dogshit letter from John Cornyn in my e-mail. I sent him back the same questions. Oddly, he hasn't responded to me. If I were a betting man, though, I'd wager that he's turned my "fishy" e-mail over to one of his "team" to look into and file away, listing me as an "enemy" or "undesirable" in regards to his views and aims.

Any takers on that bet?


Oh, and BDN? Before you even get started, NO, I'm NOT giving Obama a pass on this. I'm pissed at him about it too. But I'm wondering where the rest of you were a few years ago when the way was cleared for this to be done. And hey, like the Cambridge police, they're only doing it for your own protection, right? If you just do as you're told, it will all be over soon, and you'll be fine.

Right you are, Anthony. Bush was just the latest in a long line seeking to expand, rather than limit, the power of the Presidency. And he was also the most successful in recent memory at doing this kind of underhanded crap.

So, ummm... HOW is this "illegal", exactly?

Does this mean that factcheck.org, snopes.com, and other internet "debunking" sites are now illegal?

I'm curious.
