  • Ben, much like the recent 'tea parties" were about limited government and reduced spending instead of the often-reported "anti-tax" story line, people concerned with border security are not "anti-immigration." They are anti-ILLEGAL immigration. Any responsible journalist MUST make this distinction lest the forces of obfuscation that masquerade as journalistic ethics today prevail.

  • Ben, what do we do? I have been troubled about this for months before the election. There has been a huge suppressing movement in the Obama camp. Our concerns are not being heard. Our speech is being suppressed. I am frightened and believe we are losing our Freedom of Speech. Has this gone unnoticed? Why isn't Fox News reporting on this? During the election we couldn't question his associations, his voting record, or his judgment. The internal Obama campaign idea, is to twist, distort, humiliate, and finally dispirit you. The obama thuggery admitted too! Obama's supporters appear to be using -- and abusing -- a tool allowing them to "flag" questions as "inappropriate" to remove all questions. They manipulated the campaign, Obama spent years as director of the Developing Communities Project, which operated using Alinsky's strategies, and was involved with two other Alinsky-oriented entities, Acorn and Project Vote. There has been a huge suppressing movement in the Obama campaign. So what can we do for this not to happen? I don't know? Ride a horse through the town square, and yell? I'm going to write everyone that I can and spread the word. To me, this whole campaign was a manipulation by Saul Alinsky's Best Student. Hillary knew it? Is the punitive liberal cause more important than our rights? I was hoping some of you would know. I am just a wife & mom, who recently lost my business and just started to really pay attention to politics. And I find the corruption overwhelming. And have now realized I was so naive about the news stations that I watched.

  • The journalist Ben Smith is a "useful idiot" of the NeoCons.
