    Team Obama provides talking points for talk radio callers, and then asks their acolytes to "report your call." seriously? they want you to report in on your conversations w/ your fellow citizens? isn't this just a little heavy handed?

    It's a sad, sad day in America when people who voluntarily participate in a viral-marketing campaign on behalf of a political party in public can't do so in private.

    this isn't a political party, this is the white house. although, in this instance, i suppose there's no real difference.

    Sorry genius - it's a political party. That's why the domain name links to barackobama.com and not whitehouse.gov.

    That's why the article cited in the blogpost that you copied from Freerepublic.com leads with this:

    You are failing at failing. You should go back to pretending that a car backfiring outside your building was a terrorist attack.

    No, you still fail for stealing your daily ClutchFans blog posting from some third tier wingnut radio hack and not providing attribution.

    Note the common phrasings between basso's and Michael Graham's post.

    The fact that you followed the winger bread crumb trail from Instapundit to Michael Graham doesn't absolve you from obviously ripping off Graham's post, without providing attribution.

    Even Instapundit saw fit to provide a link to the author, instead of mimicking Graham's wording and pretending the idea was his own.

    Exactly. Which is why it's a little odd he threw that thing in there about Instapundit. If you look at screen grab you can see Graham's website in one of the tabs at the bottom. That's how I found the source for basso's musings.
