The Obama presidential campaign is launching an effort to collect Republican email addresses by inviting its supporters to submit information about their Republican associates to the Obama 2012 website.
The effort could help the Obama campaign build a database that would enable it to target Republican voters during the general election campaign. But, more perniciously, it could also become part of an Democratic effort to influence Republican primary voters to select a candidate Democrats think Obama could most easily defeat.
The Democratic National Committee last month released a video that seemed designed to damage Mitt Romney, the GOP candidate feared most by the Obama campaign.
The Obama information collection effort is cast under the mischievous guise of asking Obama supporters to “have a little fun at the expense of a Republican in your life” by signing them up to get an email from the Obama campaign ribbing them for having “inspired” the Obama supporter to donate.
The result, however, is that the Obama campaign gets a new trove of Republican email addresses that it could never have collected through voluntary submissions.
Hey what the heck, here’s the PIN for my ATM too, and a copy of my driver’s license.
Tactless, creepy stalking.
I already have Obama 2012 ads showing up on my inbox page.
I suggest you report them as SPAM to your internet provider.
I just got a snail mail push survey (call for donations) from ‘Nancy Pelosi’ addressing me as ‘Dear Fellow Democrat.’ Must be a trick to elicit responses from non democrats.

I got one last week and was furious.
ANYTHING that has to do with mac daddy is a lie, first, last and always a lie.

How do you do that? Seriously!
Supporters? I wonder if that is Yahoo, Google, etc...
Enemies list by the Bamster. and the MSM sees no problem with this stuff.
Spam attack?
Best send it to AttackWatch.com!!!
How about registering Obama’s re-elect web sites to every on-line sales promotion we can find? The nastier the better. Cram their inboxes with spam. Seems only fair.
Classic obama. It’s the rich vs. poor, corporate CEO’s vs. Johnny UAW member, it’s right vs. left, the list goes on...
So good. I’ll gladly submit my email addresses so that I can have my spam filter earn its keep. And from the email addresses filtered out, I’ll know who blame for the last 4 years, what businesses to avoid, etc.
From tactical standpoint, these fools actually think ANYTHING said in an email will somehow influcence my choice for 2012?

They are planning now to disrupt our caucuses here in Iowa on January 3rd.
They are low life, 3rd world, Chavez type of thugs.
