Politico Continues Attacks on Private Citizens Supporting Romney
Breitbart ^ | 5/21/12 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/21/2012 4:31:17 PM PDT by Nachum

MSNBC's unofficial web-branch, known as Politico, couldn't move fast enough to dismiss our story about the possibility that as a grown adult, President Obama, or those around him, might have had faked his biography Elizabeth Warren-style. To Politico, of course, that's not news. The backgrounds of private citizens supporting Governor Romney, however, elicits all kinds of time, attention, manpower, and publicity from Politico's wretched left-wingers.

Back in 2008, Politico's Jonathan Martin did oppo-research on a private citizen Barack Obama approached for a photo-op. The man who would become 'Joe the Plumber' was just minding his own business when then-candidate Obama engaged him on-camera. Joe asked a perfectly fair question that the now-teleprompter addicted Obama flubbed miserably (but only by telling the truth). The McCain camp pounced, Joe became a YouTube sensation, and journalistic-thug Martin figured he could take the heat off Obama by making a private citizen's tax liens a story.

My question is will the FR moderation team permit us to post the personal information of various reporters? We already do much the same with Federal judges where someone is always quick to post a bio on a judge when they make a decision of note.

But what about a reporter’s personal information? What would be acceptable? Tax liens, bankruptcies, resumes? What would not be acceptable?

With reporters they don’t seem to have any discretion so I’m thinking pretty much anything goes. If they want to put private citizens into the public then why not let’s apply the same rules to the reporters?

I’m still not sure about tax, etc. The first thing came to my mind is political donations, which should be fair game in any standard.

They have entered the "public domain" and so, if it can be verified from published, legitimate sources, our reporting is as good as theirs.
