Have you heard...

...any disavowal from the White House concerning the "Internet Snitch Brigade"? You know what I'm talking about, it concerns the memo asking for information on anything "fishy" found concerning debate on healthcare reform.

Heard anything? Me neither.

I bring this up to compare it to other administration gaffes. Remember the memo sent to every police department in the nation about "Rightwing Extremists"? The Homeland Security folks couldn't backpedal fast enough to get away from that one.

Remember the "police acted stupidly" comment of our Commander-in-Chief? He danced away from that one toot-suite once the public ire was expressed.

So why is no one disavowing this blatant attempt at muzzling free speech?

IMHO we're getting a look into the mindset of our self-styled elites. They won't back away from this because they feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. That's all there is to the whole deal. The acceptable silencing of their opponents is so deeply ingrained in the collective psyche that any criticism is incomprehensible.

THAT might be the scariest part of this whole deal. Just my opinion but as of now I'm still allowed to express it.
