So Liberal Professor who is a supporter of Obama’s Organizing for Action, Moveon.org, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Amnesty International, and True Majority is getting nearly a Million dollars to develop software to track "Hate Speech", political smears, astroturfing, misinformation, and other social pollution and report this to the Government. Which of course the Government will report to the media who will dutifully report it on the evening news.

Am I the only person who sees anything wrong with this?

Does anyone doubt that anything negative about Democrats will be labeled as being false, misinformation, a political smear, and even hate speech, while anything negative about Republicans will be simply labeled as "the truth"?


Feds Creating Database to Track Hate Speech on Twitter Washington Free Beacon

The National Science Foundation is financing the creation of a web service that will monitor “suspicious memes” and what it considers “false and misleading ideas,” with a major focus on political activity online.
The “Truthy” database, created by researchers at Indiana University, is designed to “detect political smears, astroturfing, misinformation, and other social pollution.”

The university has received $919,917 so far for the project.
 
Twitter is voluntary. If you use it and yammer on, someone is going to start following you. How long will it be before NOT using Twitter is suspect in and of itself? What is someone who doesn't use Twitter doing? What are they hiding? If you don't use Twitter, at all, there is no way to identify what hate speech you might be hiding.
