So, Gore has decided to call me a Digital Brown Shirt because I'm a blogger who looks for the truth, eh? Well, fine then! Here's an icon for all my fellow bloggers.
Display it proudly on your site! Claim the title of Digital Brown Shirt!
For those who don't want to wade through the registration, here's a snippet from Gore.
The Administration works closely with a network of “rapid response” digital Brown Shirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for “undermining support for our troops.” Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist, was one of the first journalists to regularly expose the President’s consistent distortions of the facts. Krugman writes, “Let’s not overlook the role of intimidation. After 9/11, if you were thinking of saying anything negative of the President…you had to expect right-wing pundits and publications to do all they could to ruin your reputation.
Got that? If you pressure the media to tell the unbiased truth, you are now on the same level as a Nazi. Now in the blogosphere, I see how people lose their cool and break Godwin's law, but this man wanted to be president of the United States.
Geeze.
