I am sure there is plenty of glee in moveon land, but these tactics should backfire with well-reasoned people. Stifling free speech is never a good idea because it can cut both ways. I am sure some of it may be testing of the waters for the fairness doctrine. HR3303 is in the background as well. This story would have been dead and in bed today most likely so resurrecting it plays no role other than to intimidate (which didn’t work) and fire up the minions which from DU’s standpoint didn’t do too much.

I'm coming in a bit late to this discussion - but I have to wonder if maybe this story was originally planted on that XM Radio program to generate exactly this response. It gives that idiot Kansas Governor the ability to act all outraged and disparaged and victimized by the evvvvillll Republicans ... which means she really isn't being held account for how she blantantly lied about the Guard situation in her state and got b*tch-slapped with the facts by the White House ...
