Actually, I don't think the right has played as dirty as this. A Times article by Michael Luo this morning unveils a new netroots enterprise, Accountable America, the unabashed purpose of which is to terrify conservatives from giving campaign money to Republican causes and Republican candidates. It's actually ingenuous.
You get a list of past Republican donors and send each of them one, two, many e-mails with the explicit warning that contributing to conservative campaigns may be dangerous to the donor's health. Or, as Luo puts it, "The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives." The letter will be in the mail next week.
Perhaps the second move will be to the head of a horse in the bed of the recipients or, better yet, put a bullet in their knee-caps. These people call themselves "liberal" and are called "liberal" by others. But they are really fascists, using terror as a means to close people's minds and checkbooks.
I'd like to learn what my candidate Barack Obama thinks of his friends.
I went to the web site and searched for “scratch a liberal find a nazi”, “liberal nazis”, and “you’re a bunch of liberal nazis” about twenty times each. I don’t know if they log their searches, but if they do it could be kind of fun. Too bad I can’t see their reactions.
Good way to fire up the base .
They claim they got their list of 10,000 donors from a conservative outfit that wishes to remain anonymous.
BTTT
“how the progressive left also fights dirty.”
if this is true, these people are absolute scu&bags.
the problem is that they will not show their faces but get people when their back is turned.
they might play their game but there might be those who will not accept their psychotic, adolsescent antics any longer. irresponsible and stupid rhetoric is one thing. threats against a citizen because he does not agree with them is unbridled lawlessness. to say they are fomenters of revolution is an understatement.
but, then again, the big, bad left wing scu&bags who need toilet training will never come into the sunlight and declare themselves. they’ll operate in darkness, subterfuge and hide behind a lawyer; scu&bags one and all.
IMHO
That is very good to hear! I figured it was against the law to try to intimadate people for exercisign their right to support anyone they want for President. Hopefully they will bleed them of all of their money and whoever thought this up will be guilty of a felony that will prevent them from voting ever again!
Now WOW this is from the New Republic? WOW!
Please don’t post personal info again.

Because a hothead like me might show up there with a tire iron and start breaking skulls?
I put that in two places (threads). I'll find the other and hit the abuse button... 2 mins... Sorry.
If anyone wants to write or call these creeps, let me know. I will gladly share the phone/address in a private message.
This is actually good news.they will have the reverse efect and cause people to donate.
Decades overdue. But it isn't going to happen. Too many folks are still too comfortable and too ignorant.
Which means they probably hacked a conservative organization that’s afraid to let it be known their security was compromised.
Ping.
And the IRS will be very interested in this as well, given the group is a nonprofit.
I’m beginning to think this was a false front. With the Times as a willing accomplice. They just make the threat in the Times and don’t follow up on it as a means to try and stifle GOP donations. SOMEONE in that organization has to be able to know that they will run afoul of the FEC, the FBI and the IRS if they actually did what they are stating.
I could be wrong but I did see a post regarding it on one of the threads.
Can anyone confirm this information???
Dang, maybe he IS stupid enough to try this.
