1. I saw his article and left their site, That is disappointing,

[NC_Nurse]

2. Why has huffpo started carrying posts by RW tools like him and Blankley?

Are they going for fair and balanced? Unbelievable. Who are these angry moms anyway? I haven't heard anything about this so-called group or controversy anywhere...smells like bullshit to me.

If there really are these moms, perhaps they should try to supervise their own kids instead of controlling everybody else's airwaves and/or Internet.

3. A few months ago, I saw a post on there by "Ken" Blackwell

As in Kenneth Blackwell, the corrupt Ohio Secretary of State who threw Ohio, and with it, the 2004
Presidential election to Bush. I couldn't believe it.

That's when I left.

4. Considering her past political affiliations,

one must wonder at times.

[DFLforever]

5. I left off reading HuffnPuff Post 2 years ago this summer

She's just a shit stirrer imo and a false friend to liberals.

7. Indeed. n/t

6. This is Luntz' plan to manipulate your kids. This is the Repub. play for 2016.

MouseMail, the site he's peddling, will give him searchable data on how kids think, that he can cross-reference with the parents' billing information. Not only that, he can mine data outright from the txts and e-mail.

Imagine this in the hands of the FOX Corp (one of MouseMail's board of directors is a FOX analyst and director at News Corp.):

John Q. Smith (D)
1675 Maple Drive
Hometown, IA

Daughter:
Abortion at 15.

Son:
Gay.

This is the single scariest thing I've read in a long time. Don't dismiss it.

8. I've had it with the HUFF Post. It's devolved into heaping pile of status quo. n/t

9. And, pardon me - i'm stopping back here for a +1 rec. n/t

11. Your kids' e-mail mined by Luntz and FOX? This is a BIG story.

There's a FOX analyst on the board of MouseMail. A GOP think-tank director on the board. Another GOP think-tank director on the board.

What do you guys think this is for?! This is Frank looking through your kids' e-mail and text for "Words that Work." He's finding out what your kids are afraid of, what their dreams are, what phrases are important to them when they talk to each other.

And he'll have all that when they turn 18, just before the 2016 election.

Not only that, FOX and the GOP will have access to a cross-referenced list of subscribers with specifics about the kids' personal lives. The GOP will know who on the list has kids who've had unwanted pregnancies. They'll know whose dad drinks too much. They'll know everything it would take to apply pressure to parents, or, eventually to new adults.

Come 2016 and 2020, Frank Luntz will know what the 18 year-olds of this country have been talking about for the last 5-9 years. He'll have watched them grow up. He'll know what moves them, what scares them, what causes them to listen. He'll know what makes them emotional and what shuts them down. And he'll know that by zip code.

This is Frank Luntz, people, the man, who on an interview literally tried to redfine Orwellian as: "To be ‘Orwellian’ is to speak with absolute clarity, to be succinct, to explain what the event is, to talk about what triggers something happening … and to do so without any pejorative whatsoever."

This is big.
