"Enemies List" Kept By Bush

Reminiscent of the Nixon era, the White House keeps its' own "Enemies List" of individuals it feels undermine or speak up against them and their policies. Capitol Hill Blue reports: Spurred by paranoia and aided by the USA Patriot Act, the Bush Administration has compiled dossiers on more than 10,000 Americans it considers political enemies and uses those files to wage war on those who disagree with its policies. The “enemies list” dates back to Bush’s days as governor of Texas and can be accessed by senior administration officials in an instant for use in campaigns to discredit those who speak out against administration policies or acts of the President. The computerized files include intimate personal details on members of Congress; high-ranking local, state and federal officials; prominent media figures and ordinary citizens who may, at one time or another, have spoken out against the President or Administration. You would think this feckless bunch of neo-fascists would realize that it didn't work back in Nixon's day, and it won't work now. “How is that you think Karl (Rove) and Scooter (Libby) were able to disseminate so much information on Joe Wilson and his wife,” says one White House aide. “They didn’t have that information by accident. They had it because they have files on those who might hurt them.” ----- Those on the list include former Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, former covert CIA operative Valarie Plame, along with filmmaker and administration critic Michael Moore, Senators like California’s Barbara Boxer, media figures like liberal writer Joe Conason and left-wing bloggers like Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (the DailyKos) and Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette). “If you want to know who’s sleeping with whom, who drinks too much or has a fondness for nose candy, this is the place to find it,” says another White House aide. “Karl (Rove) operates under the rule that if you fuck with us, we’ll fuck you over.” I'm sure Markos and Ana Marie (two of my favorite bloggers) will be thrilled to know they made the list. Are the members of this administration stupid or just so inept and drunk with power that they think in this day and age of "insant news", not to mention the scope and access of the internet, we will be cowed by their corrupt and bullying practices? I think not! Slowly, but surely, the MSM, and more importantly ordinary citizens are waking up to the fact these guys are bullies, who have policies that do nothing but promote illegal domination of other countries, and pad the the pockets of the moneyed interests of their corporate benefactors.
