Holder has housed this unit in the Office of Public Affairs at the Department of Justice. It also appears that former John Edwards staffer Tracy Russo is part of this special unit.

Tracy didn't have to worry about getting another government job. Thanks to this scheme the bankrupt federal treasury gets to fund more jobs to decrease that unemployed number.

Is this covered by the new FTC rules on “bloggers” and disclosure?

Who would want a job like this?

So, what do you do? Well, I am a paid lefty troll on the internet.

I'd rather work for ACORN.

Very informative post, Ib. I hope this spreads to other conservative posts.

If Obie does it, it’s probably illegal or unconstitutional.

It can’t be legal to have taxpayer paid employees of the government doing this.

If Bush had done something like this the left would have come unhinged - and rightly so. It should outrage everyone.

A usurper can be impeached???

GEORGE WASHINGTON, farewell address, Sep. 19, 1796

� If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by *usurpation* ; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.�

I predict that as these America-hating communists who are ruling and deliberately ruining this nation are going to face a backlash that will flabbergast them as they’re trotted out of DC, covered with feathers and tar.

“He wonders if the Obama administration will ever learn the difference between political campaign and the “entirely different responsibility it now has to enforce this nation’s laws in an objective, nonpartisan, nonpolitical manner”?”

I wonder if use of government offices, computers, and salaries for “campaign” activities isn't covered under campaign finance laws? Oh wait, they're DemonRATs, exempt from ethics laws.

I can think of a few screen names that are questionably Blog Squad members.

NO this is not legal.
This has been posted a couple times already and some FReepers have found the specific parts of the US Code that says this is a no-no.

The only problem is, Eric Holder won't put himself in jail. And Barry sure as hell ain't gonna fire him.
