1. Moore is basing the interview on an anonymous official

How about knowing for sure before letting fly accusations?

2. Seems anonymous sources are OK when the news is favorable to the administration ...

this thread from June in GDP had quite a few recs which is why I raised the question.


WH source tells CNN that Boehner agreed to let Bush tax cuts expire

My comment ...

An anonymous WH source, thought that was frowned upon? n/t

3. It's not ok when Moore, who many people follow, jumps to a conclusion

that happens to feed the fire of haters. I ask what is in it for Obama in squashing the protests? Why would he risk involvement when someone will bust him, such as this unnamed person? He would not. There are plenty of other forces involved in the US government.

Those other forces is why haters need to take another look at Obama. He's one of the good guys.

5. MM needs more evidence before tossing out that accusation

But he loves to grandstand, so I'm not surprised he would make such a flimsy charge.

7. Your concern is duly noted

however, it is and will be coming out that Homeland Security, the FBI, and the justice department are all involved in this. MM is right. Again.

8. OK for some situations, not for others. n/t

9. I don't see it the same way MM does.

Oakland Mayor has talked to 18 cities on how she broke up the occupation. Cities are contacting her. I see it as cities across the nation catching on to a way to break up the occupation. When one city finds the answer other cities follow. It's a jump to say this is in reality the federal government.

Otherwise, show me evidence it's the feds.
