The Obama presidential campaign is launching an effort [Read that link! Gotta see it to believe it!] to collect Republican email addresses by inviting its supporters to submit information about their Republican associates to the Obama 2012 website.The result, however, is that the Obama campaign gets a new trove of Republican email addresses that it could never have collected through voluntary submissions....Just imagine if this were happening in reverse: GOP contenders "having a little fun" at the expense of the private email addresses of their Democrat associates!
The effort could help the Obama campaign build a database that would enable it to target Republican voters during the general election campaign. But, more perniciously, it could also become part of an Democratic effort to influence Republican primary voters to select a candidate Democrats think Obama could most easily defeat.
[...]
The Obama information collection effort is cast under the mischievous guise of asking Obama supporters to “have a little fun at the expense of a Republican in your life” by signing them up to get an email from the Obama campaign ribbing them for having “inspired” the Obama supporter to donate....
This kind of nonsense cheapens the campaign and election processes. Demeans them, even.
And what kind of list will the Democratic Party then have? A list of dissenters to torment or, possibly, to "investigate."

inside the Weather Underground and had worked closely with Ayers, Dohrn, and their fellow terrorists.
In No Place to Hide, Grathwohl explains that the Weathermen actually believed that they would be successful in overthrowing the U.S. government and that, with the help of the Cubans, Chinese, Russians, and North Vietnamese, they would occupy America. Americans would have to be "re-educated" in camps, similar to what the communists did in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other countries they had taken over. Here is one of the chilling revelations Larry Grathwohl made in the film:
I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."
Twenty-five million people.
Hmmm....You might need lists?
