The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan is offering Democrats some sage advice. They won’t heed it though, because the same political defect that made them over reach in their current statist power grab will prevent them from taking any constructive criticism:
But most damagingly to political civility, and even our political tradition, was the new White House email address to which citizens are asked to report instances of “disinformation” in the health-care debate: If you receive an email or see something on the Web about health-care reform that seems “fishy,” you can send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. The White House said it was merely trying to fight “intentionally misleading” information.
They are mocking and menacing concerned citizens. This only makes a hot situation hotter. Is this what the president wants? It couldn’t be.
The Democrats should not be attacking, they should be attempting to persuade, to argue for their case. After all, they have the big mic. Which is what the presidency is, the big mic.
That would be very Alinsky of him.
Sarah Palin rails about “Obama death panels” killing Trig and Peggy Noonan says Obama is terrifying people. Real constructive.
terrifying indeed.
I can’t help but ask….if GW ever proposed Flag@Whitehouse.gov. Holysh***storm Robbin!
