Newsmax article:

"Grass-roots activists and bloggers insist there is little, if any, corruption in their respective and often overlapping realms. They ascribe ulterior, more sinister, motives to their would-be regulators. Zuniga believes they are motivated by a desire to quash grass-roots media because sites like Daily Kos and Red State threaten traditional bases of power. That belief is essentially the thesis for "Crashing the Gates," his new book and first foray into traditional publishing.

Zuniga reserves his strongest venom for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "This is intended to squash citizen media," he said. "Pelosi and company are complicit, no matter how much they lie about their intentions."

Wright believes at least one of the would-be regulators is animated by revenge. "John McCain has real issues with the grassroots," he explained. "This spans back to 2000 and I think he still holds a grudge against grass-roots America. "I've heard rumors saying Senators are for this because they say they're tired of hearing from these grass-roots groups," he said.


Our Senators are tired from hearing from people. Great.

I think McCain is going to hear from a few of us very, very soon. Ironic, isn't it?

As a member of the grassroots, I hold a real grudge against John McCain for the crap he pulled in 2000! He was so bad that my Senator Inhofe (R-OK) took off the gloves early in the primary and came out for George Bush and against John McCain. That spoke volumes.
