Analyst Meg White examines the "blitzkrieg of fear mongering and misinformation" being whipped up against President-elect Barack Obama [3]. "One phalanx in the fight belongs to Grassfire.org [4]. ... Grassfire sent out an e-mail designed to scare people into joining its 'army that is ready to take on Obama's agenda [5].' ... The e-mail lists nine 'threats to our liberties' presented by the incoming administration. The common thread through all of these threats is alarmism. ... Grassfire is anything but grassroots. The 501(c)4 is listed as a front group [6] on the (SourceWatch [7]) site, and SourceWatch notes that public relations for Grassfire are handled by Shirley & Banister Public Affairs [8], whose president, Craig Shirley [9], was part of the team that created the infamous Willie Horton ad. Shirley and Banister represent like-minded clients such as Ann Coulter [10], the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, and the National Rifle Association [11]. Grassfire is one of many groups amassing armies to fight everything Obama tries to do, no matter where it falls on the political spectrum."
