      Chris Kelley from Huffpo nailed it. Vote for a resolution in these jokers honor. It can be called the Palin-Grassley Freedom from Information Act.

      Well as they used to say about warrentless wiretaps: If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about. ;) j/k I highly doubt that there is an enemies list or that the White House will be sending the IRS after anyone.

      Standard Fox tactic; simple innuendo. "I've heard that..." gets picked up as "rumors of" by the next, then "concern over..." becomes "it is widely believed that..." finally ends up as "everybody knows that..."

      Meanwhile, the people who point out "this is all bullshot" are shouted down...

      I didn't see any questions that could be easily answered or the response was constantly interrupted by Kelly or Garrett.

      The White House did not ask for people's email ADDRESSES. It says
      "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

      Since English is not your forte, it is asking for EMAILS so that they can correct the misinformation.

      "Turning the IRS loose" on them? Is that all they got?

      HA! Glenda Beck was talking about concentration camps run by FEMA . . .

      It looks like they are hiding something? Fox has no proof so they go with their gut feelings. All Fox has is Megan not letting someone answer a question and Major asking about some e-mails sent. The difficult time is from those questions were not straightforward. Asking about e-mails sent to people without saying who was receiving the e-mail is far from straightforward. Major does not say who specifically who is receiving them so how can there be a straightforward answer.
      The more I see of fox News the more it looks like the ramblings of some paranoid on the corner. No logic behind what they say and hey go from point to point endless without letting anyone else get a word in edgewise.

      On August 7th I e-mailed U. S. Representative Brian Baird of the 3rd congressional district, State of Wahington. I demanded an apology for his comments and namecalling citizens of the State of Washington.

      I did not receive a response from Representative Baird, but on August 8th I did receive the first of two e-mails from David Axelrod, Assistant to President Obama.

      The following day, I also received e-mails from Senator Patty Murray and Representative Jim McDermott, each of whom represent the district in which I live. I had written to them many times before and never received a response. Co-incidence?

      The White House is definately calling the shots here. Whether they are preparing a "list" or compiling names for future IRS audits remains to be revealed. However, I am prepared for whatever ball they throw.

      In the meantime, Representative Baird has publically apologized for his demeaning public comments about the citizens of his State. That is a good thing. And maybe my e-mailed helped to get that apology.

      Now another rather obvious story to watch is AARP's position on health care. They are trying to ride the middle of the fence. Which way do they fall????? Supporting Obama or Supporting their memberhsip?

      I hope Major Garret reads this blog

      Bill Sammon is simply a despicable human being. The fact that he's VP of anything is alarming, let alone a supposed NEWS organization.

      This is criminal . . . they are so invested in bringing the usurper in the White House down that they are using terrorist tactics. What's funny is that the people who are being terrorized think they are listening to "news."

      This is really sad. They were having a hard time answering the question because all they did was the normal faux news tactic of yelling over the people they disagree with or trapping them in an unanswerable question. Garrett might as well have asked Gibbs "Did you stop beating your wife? yes or no". Then they showed 5 seconds of Kelly's interview and left out most of the shouting down and interrupting so it seemed like she was pressing him and he was stuck.
