The move by Barack Obama and the Democrats (aided by many in the old guard media and liberal special interest groups like the AARP) to shut down dissent is one of the most frightening and dastardly things I've ever seen. Here's a couple (make it 3) important articles that pursue the matter.
* David Keene, "White House Crackdown on Dissent Means Honeymoon Is Over" (The Examiner)
* Phyllis Schlafly, "Obama Brings Chicago-Style Intimidation" (Syndicated column)
* Michelle Malkin, "'Brown Shirts' vs. Purple Shirts" (Syndicated column)
