Palin Aide Tells Blogger To Stop Blogging

[Joanne98]

In the world of Gov. Sarah Palin, criticism by the press and especially by the blogosphere is unwelcomed and countered by silence or direct commands.

According to an expose today in the New York Times, Republican vice-presidential candidate had her assistant call a blogger who closely followed the Palin administration and had been critical of it actions.

Four months ago, a Wasilla blogger, Sherry Whitstine, who chronicles the governor’s career with an astringent eye, answered her phone to hear an aide to the governor on the line, she said.

“You should be ashamed!” Ivy Frye, the assistant, told her. “Stop blogging. Stop blogging right now!”

One wonders what a Vice President, or President Palin might suggest to the FCC in suppressing or regulating the Internet and the freedom of speech.

1. As if Andrew Sullivan

wasn't ticked off enough, this has really freaked him out:

"Now I begin to understand the intimidation I have been subjected to for simply asking questions. All I can reassure my readers is: I'm now more determined than ever to reveal the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about this dangerous, vindictive Christianist cipher being foisted on the United States."

Go Andrew.

2. There goes the 1st Amendment.

Someone said it very well in another thread a couple of days ago. I'm paraphrasing, but it was to the effect that Democrats believe in full and equal rights for everyone, but Republicans believe in rights only for themselves and their cronies.

Today's GOP: Truth? We will tell you what "the truth" is. Agree or STFU.

5. If you can't stand the heat...

The hell's kitchen of world events in these heated times would be too much for Sarah, if she can't take the belated vetting process investigating her actions as a mayor or governor.

I looked at another topic on your last reporter link, and found that a video about the librarian and the banned books question "was no longer available". :(
