The more candidates call for "CHANGE!", the more they stay the same.
Barack Obama--who has repackaged failed liberal ideas in a shiny rhetorical package, sold it to the young and historically-ignorant, and parlayed it into the Democrat presidential nomination--has used his FightTheSmears.com campaign website to publish an Enemies List.
By tagging conservative activists as part of a "smear", Obama has re-defined the word to mean "those who do not agree with you". Obama's site doesn't say that the activities the activists are engaged in are illegal , immoral (to anyone other than rabid liberals) or untrue--it just implies it.
In short, a smear by fightthesmears.
Dubbed "Smear Inc.", the list is composed of several people who are involved in conservative causes. The list was titled "Behind the Smears".
Obama's Enemies List: SMEAR INC.
David Bossie
His Crime?
Bossie runs Citizens United, has paired with Floyd Brown for years. Bossie and Brown harassed the Clintons throughout Bill Clinton's administration, with even George H.W. Bush calling his behavior in the 1992 presidential election (which included harassing the family of a recent suicide victim) "filthy campaign tactics." After writing a 2000 book about Al Gore that went little-noticed, in 2004, Brown and Floyd Bossie, working as the group Citizens United, made a movie called Celsius 41.11 and ran television ads attacking John Kerry.
Floyd Brown
His Crime? Brown, most infamously, was responsible for the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad against Michael Dukakis."
Who else made the list?

Ooops! hat tip to: kristinn, Free Republic
Sorry for the mistake.
Over here. Probable misspelling.
Me too. Maybe we’re not trying hard enough.
Jim Robinson and everyone on Free Republic is going to be PISSED if we’re not number one on that list!
Me too. I would love to be so prominently mentioned as a bona fide Obama hater. Would absolutely make my life complete.
Great tag line!
When I was a kid, you weren’t allowed to pass out valentines in school unless you had one for everyone.
So I ask you, Mr. Obama. Where’s mine?
