Rep. Darrell Issa, Republican of California has sent a letter to White House Counsel Gregory B. Craig, asking for more information into their effort to collect information about the opponents of Obama's health care reform by gathering what they were saying or writing.

It brings to mind the image of the "enemies list" that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

    • This whole story... smells fishy.

      But, Isn't it an interesting point that the "one person" that they site related to the "Smell of Fish" was, none other than "Richard Milhous Nixon" a ~ Republican...

      This just shows one very important thing. "That People who live in glass houses shouldn't start throwing stones..."

      In my opinion, an article such as this one... and, others with the same "fishy smell", are more geared for people who think that "NEWSMAX" is in fact actually real news.

      News comes from many places, sources and from many view points. It is a responsibility that is entrusted in all of us to be able to see the difference between "Real News", Propaganda, Rumor and Disinformation. The rewards we all gain from having open minds and worldly global view points... is rewarded back to us with the talent to be able to tell the difference. To gain that supreme knowledge and skill set to know when... "we are being fished" by Propaganda, Rumor and Disinformation.

      This was a Test... There will more tests in the future. Be ready!

      Class is dismissed.

      Very best of regards,

      Bravo; well, well spoken, Professor! Tee hee. :) Truly, a lovely invocation of the true spirit and purpose of the news.
