What’s next? Jack-booted thugs hauling granny off in the middle of the night for passing along triple-forwarded photo-shopped pix of the Annointed One? Just because some disgruntled Obot surfing from his parent’s basement got offended and turned her in?
Is this America – or Nazi Germany? I’m really beginning to wonder!
Seriously, this is getting downright spooky.
If you haven’t yet heard, President Obama has a new sinister looking website, one that encourages his supporters to inform on their fellow citizens. As a Washington Times editorial puts it: Big Brother Obama is watching
“The look and feel of the site conveys a sense of foreboding. It’s Web design by Orwell.”
[Note the various “Attack” types to select from.
And “Paid for by Obama for America”.]
“Attack Watch” reinforces the sense that there is something not quite right about the O Force. Building a national database of informants is the work of an obsessive, fearful and desperate team. It reflects the strident insecurity of a leader who is not used to hard criticism. It plays to the creepy authoritarian strain of leftist politics, the stratum that considers democracy a messy and useless impediment to the realization of utopia. It is a bad idea, poorly executed. If you’d like to report us for saying so, the address is www.attackwatch.com.
DITTO that last sentence!
