Various conservative blogs are talking about the existence of a "blog squad" at the U.S. Justice Department. The website, the Muffled Oar writes that a blogging unit formed within the Department of Justice to counter websites with posts, articles, and user comments critical of the Obama administration. Matthew Miller Director of Public Affair at the Justice Department told the Washington Times,:

"There is no 'blog squad'. There is Tracy [Russo] who handles online media. It’s the policy of the office of public affairs to not post anonymous comments. We have not seen any evidence that anyone does post comments, and if we did have evidence of that, people would no longer work here."

Mr. Miller countered accusations of the existence of a "blog squad" pointing to what he says is lack of evidence.

"I noticed, actually, that the posts don’t actually point to any evidence of anonymous comments coming from the Department of Justice, which of course, I believe you can trace. I think it says they’ve seen an uptick."

Go to hell, Barack Obama.

The article says “There is no ‘blog squad’.” Although it then goes on to say something about anonymous posting but then goes on to talk about postings without qualifying the nature, so to be honest, the article seems to be all over the place with it's denials.

Well, since you put it that way.
*chuckle*

[Jim Robinson]

My opinion? Joseph Goebbels would be proud of Obama’s Ministry of Justice and Propaganda.

[Terry Mross]

Why would O-boy need a blog squad when they have the state run media to do everything for him.

[Jim Robinson]

You mean besides spying on dissenters, propagandizing and politicizing? Other than that, I have no idea.

[Outlaw Woman]

Are we going to make it out of this Jim?

[Terry Mross]

CNN will take care of it for the white house.

[Jim Robinson]

Yes. Keep yur powder dry.

Okay what the heck. We just read their own words on the other thread. Maybe we need a free republic truth squad, with a truth squad forum, where all lies from govt are vetted. Nothing can be posted but their lies, and the TRUTH. No opinions or commentary. Aaargh...

Ping-a-ling-a-ding-dong

Haven’t seen that Jim Thompson around here lately. Did we blow his cover?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Damn. In addition to tin foil, I need to buy black tape to put over the built in web cam.

[patriot08]

I’ve read, before any of this ever came up, that Obama has thousands on his payroll who do nothing but hang in chat rooms and on forums/blogs to spread Obama propaganda and aggitate and divide.

Ask yourself, how did they know what is being said on 'conservative blogs', and why does it matter enough to deny it? Haven't they got better things to do?

WE KNOW THEY ARE HERE!

Take it to the bank.

LOL

[LucyT]

It is never official unless it has been denied.

[Candor7]

ANy one who spends time around the Orly blogs has seen the legal arguments and spurious character attacks made by the DOL blogobots. Many of them are attorneys, more so than on any other part of FR.

And why is it that they are ALL critical of Taitz?

Surprise, surprise!!!LOL.

[El Gato]

I never read blogs unless briefly tricked by a poster here into thinking the info is legit.

Legit like the New York Times and CBS news? Or AP, which got caught publishing photo shopped images of the last Israel-Hezbollah dust up, Iranian missile launches and so forth. Especially "Green Helmet guy" and the dead kids.

Bottom line, believe no one, cross check everyone.

The thing is ? we are also keeping a eye on them, and they don't know it and they will never know how we do it....

God gave Elisha information, that the very thoughts and imaginations in their own minds and heart are revealed.
Read II KINGS chapter 6 when the king of Syria is perplex in how his secret plans and his own inner thoughts are revealed to the King of Israel...
God will reveal the secrets of Israel's enemies to his servants.
And there is nothing they can do in all of their government power, government resources, and all their technology to stop it or cut off God's servants lines of communication because it is not of this world.
