The former was to protect sources, the latter to protect public access under the Freedom of Information Act. They are in direct conflict with each other.

He is still claiming that those lengthy speeches were "edited bits and pieces" that made it <i>look</i> like he was advocating single-payer. Most of all, I loved it that he kept denying that they were keeping names from the snitch site.

All we have to do to understand how Obama justifies a snitch-reporting hotline is remember that he considers speech criticizing his administration to be tantamount to a criminal act, and therefore justified under the law enforcement provisions of the legislation. This analysis of Obama requires understanding the mind of a Harvard Law grad and constitutional law professor who never read the Constitution. And if he read it, he didn't much like it.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-22597358081774565492009-08-07T13:23:20.929-04:002009-08-07T13:23:20.929-04:00LawHawk, I hope you don't mind, I linked it ov...LawHawk, I hope you don't mind, I linked it over on the Open Friday section at BH.<br /><br />What can I say?

I never get paid and nobody from the major Republican organizations have contacted me about where I can get that check. But that's sort of our point, isn't it? Remember, Obama was a leader in ACORN, which has only "paid volunteers." If you're paid, you're not a volunteer, but since leftist organizers don't understand that, they can't believe people are protesting Obama without being told what to do and getting paid for it.<br /><br />Andrew: You and I both know from experience that snitches can be very valuable in catching criminals. What Obama doesn't understand is that free speech is not a crime--at least not yet. Asking people to snitch on other people for disagreeing with the government is an exercise in fascism. Unlike the leftists, I actually know what that word means.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-36430243731485246132009-08-07T13:06:08.243-04:002009-08-07T13:06:08.243-04:00WriterX: Leave it to a writing pro to stay ahead ...WriterX: Leave it to a writing pro to stay ahead of me in the snitch count. I'll have to get busy and try to catch up!<br /><br />Tennessee: I happen to be a big fan of Ann Coulter's. The reason so many dislike her is that she is in lawyer mode all the time and won't concede an inch to the opposition. For that reason, she is an advocate rather than an analyst. In "Treason" she followed that pattern, and of course many took it to mean she was praising McCarthy. She was not. She was defending McCarthy, and that's a big difference. She knows he was a paranoid demagogue, but he was attacked for ferreting out communists in the State Department, and at that, he was very successful.<br /><br />I learned about HUAC the hard way. I was a young teenager. After my dad died, my sister and her family decided a road trip would be a good way to get our minds off his death. We stopped in San Francisco on our way to Crater Lake in Oregon. I wandered off, and ended up at S F City Hall. And managed to walk right into an anti-HUAC protest by UC Berkeley students. After getting hit with a high-pressure water hose while the police were clearing the City Hall steps, I had my first radical epiphany. I didn't even know what HUAC was, but I decided if it was going to get me water-hosed, I was against it. It's also the first time I learned what UC Berkeley was, and decided that was where I'd go to college.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-17983368748152834982009-08-07T12:50:31.633-04:002009-08-07T12:50:31.633-04:00Joel: Thanks for your comment.
