In reply to this post from "Uncle Sam" concerning the Obama administration wanting people to tell them about people who oppose "insurance/medical reform," I wrote the following:
There are a few ways to look at this.
1. The manner in which you look at it and it's potential to lead to "re-education" [ala the Soviet Union style].
2.
Take them at their word (I'll wait for your laughter/scoffing/purging
of digestive juices) and say it is a new level of counter-programming
communication. Think of it this way. Instead of letting "talk radio"
frame the "populist debate" without responding, they are going full
bore in battling [back the opposition].
Did it ever bother you that the Bush
administration didn't use any media means to battle against their
critics? As a few conservative media talking head said, the Bush
administration was leaving up to the talking heads to counter punch.
That was ineffective and in my way of thinking, stupid.
Maybe you can't respond to everything but you can monitor and fight back on things that seem to be gaining ground.
It's full time campaign activities.
