Look up 'badge of shame' in wikipedia. The Yellow band worn by Jews in Nazi germany and the middle ages. Earlier muslim communities required the same of dhimmis (just came across this is Why I am not a Muslim).<br /><br />Internet anonymity is a bit different, but 'outing' pro-capitalist bloggers achieves the same goal. It makes them more vulnerable to attacks in the media, from their employers, from law enforcement, from regulatory agencies and from their neighbors.<br /><br />The Koch brothers have so far been able to withstand these assaults but smaller time bloggers don't have the resources to do so. Who was that lawyer in washington that had to stop blogging after media pressure applied to his employer?Shane Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268148003641995554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-6031369106443844302011-03-06T08:32:04.848-07:002011-03-06T08:32:04.848-07:00It's "Card Check" for the Internet.

That said and like you state, once someone who chooses anonymity decides to blog about a topic, he/she must back up the claims with support or it will fall by the wayside as just another weak and faulty claim with no merit. It will be dismissed as the rantings of a mad person with no life, no purpose, and a bitter spirit.<br /><br />I suspect as you do, this is just an attempt to reign in free speech, which sometimes is often unpopular with those who have the power to guide public opinions and influence those who are in a position to make decisions with far reaching repercussions. This is driven primarily by the "so-called" journalism lobby because it is one thing that can keep them honest and expose their failures, inaccuracies, and their outright lies faster than anything else. <br /><br />The principle we all know and quote well can be best modified by this:<br /><br />First they came for the anonymous bloggers and shut them down. Then, when that didn't stop dissent, they came for the rest of the bloggers who put their names on their writings. And then there were only those who were "approved" by some fake council designed to censor....and only then, after the material was approved.<br /><br />The loss of freedom comes in increments. It comes so subtly and so gradually, very few notice it. And those who do and dare speak out are labeled, as paranoid and unreasonable.LA Sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445498119590721449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-64839592782096522782011-03-06T05:47:40.503-07:002011-03-06T05:47:40.503-07:00Free speech to a socialist = Free speeech for me a...Free speech to a socialist = Free speeech for me and none for thee.<br /><br />Absolutely nothing that is of opposing thought no matter the size of the bullhorn to the socialist agenda is to be tolerated be it blogs, AM talk radio, Fox News or the WSJ and alike.<br /><br />Here is another angle to this internet control that I have been thinking on but not heard much concern over as of yet,,,<br /><br />Being book stores are disappearing at alarming rates being books are either sold over the internet or their content downloaded electronically onto Kindles, Conservative and Libertarian authors can and will be banned forthwith.Christopher - Conservative Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102651466203156040noreply@blogger.com
