I don’t have it handy, but I could sure look it up with a bit of effort I think. There was an announcement or press release or something from the White House that they were engaging in discourse on various websites (like FR), to help encourage support for their Amnesty effort — this was 1 1/2 to 2 years ago IIRC.
I’ll ping a couple extra people on this — maybe they might remember better than I exactly what it is I’m remembering...
AuntB, of F15Eagle - do you remember when the White House said they were having “operatives” (Not in those words) speaking on websites in support of the Shamnesty plan while Bush was in office. I sure remember a LOT of “Talking Point Trolls” during the whole Shamnesty debacle itself... Or, alternately, do you know others who might remember this, and help me out a bit with extra info. when I go to google/search this in a bit? [Wasn’t there even an ‘official’ spokesperson on FR during a time period as well (perhaps on another issue). (And, I don’t mean Tony Snow (may he RIP), who was a FReeper before getting the White House Press Job.)]
Pan_Yan - I will spend a little time in a bit trying to find a link or something to source my info. I know it’s important to “Trust but Verify”. ;)
