Were the recent OWS crackdowns nationally coordiinated?

Eric Holder?
Homeland Security?

It sure feels that way to me.

This would be an unforgivable action if orchestrated from the very top.

3. That is based on the same unsourced blog post the Internet rumors are based on

It is time for DU to engage its critical thinking skills.

Just because lots of people report the same questionable blog post does not make it true

4. NO!!1!!1!!

SO STOPP SAYIN THAT!!!!!1!@!

5. Do you have proof that is not a link to "The Examiner" blog, or a referral to "The Examiner" blog?

That blog post is speculative and is based allegedly on an anonymous quotation.

Each op-Ed, DU thread, etc I have seen that claims "federal coordination" refers back to that single blog post. The Wonkette post is a great example of that.

6. The evidence is piling up.

You should get ready to switch to "they had to do it and it was totally defensible" mode.

8. No need to attack me personally. Just provide links that do not rely exclusively on "The Examiner"

11. Nothing is piling up - it is a single unsubstantiated rumor repeated over and over. nt

7. What part of NO!!@1! do you fail to understand?

[emulatorloo]

9. I understand your sarcasm. I just don't understand DU's pathological desire to claim an internet

rumor based on a less than credible source is an unassailable fact.

People at DU used to have the ability to think critically about sources.
