10. Republican "Enemies," Bitter Clingers
It is no surprise that Barack Obama's "enemies" are being targeted. A community agitator who figuratively promised to bring a gun to a knife fight, called Republicans "enemies," urged people to get in their neighbors faces, derided Christians as bitter clingers, and preached "revenge" upon being re-elected is getting just that
9. President Obama's Kill List
"Mr. Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name on an expanding 'kill list,' poring over terrorist suspects’ biographies on what one official calls macabre 'baseball cards'.... When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises — but his family is with him — it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation." (New York Times)
8. Business Adversaries
There have been complaints and suspicions that GOP-donating dealers were the first shut down after the government takeover. Republicans have "circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew... release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down GM dealerships in 2009." (Breitbart)

7. Returning War Veterans, "Right-wing" Extremists
In a DHS "right-wing terrorism" report that has to be read to be believed, it was stated that the "current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence." The report flagged and conflated "white supremacists," "violent antigovernment groups," various "right-wing" groups and even returning war veterans.
6. Talk Radio: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity
“When you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, it’s pretty apparent, but keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out,” Obama said. “It happens often when you’ve got an economy that is making people more anxious, and people are feeling that there’s a lot of change that needs to take place. But that’s not the vast majority of Americans.” On O'Reilly's show, Obama also called out Fox and Sean Hannity for promoting hate.
5. Political Opponent's Campaign Donors
During the president's re-election campaign, the website of Organizing for Action (formerly Obama for America) posted hit pieces on Romney donors. Frank Vandersloot [pictured above] was audited by the IRS and paid $80,000 in fees defending himself. There are unconfirmed claims that 15 major Romney donors were targeted.
4. EPA Bias Against Conservative Groups
"The free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute obtained documents showing that since January 2012, the EPA granted fee waivers for 75 out of 82 FOIA requests from major environmental groups and only denied seven of them, giving green groups a 92 percent success rate. At the same time, the EPA rejected or ignored 21 out of 26 fee waiver requests from conservative groups." (Daily Caller)
3. Tea Party, Patriots
Dissenters are undeniably being oppressed under the Obama administration. "An IRS campaign to apply additional scrutiny to conservative groups went beyond targeting 'Tea Party' and 'patriot' groups to include those focused on government spending, the Constitution and several other broad areas." (FOX)

"The screen on the phone console at the reception desk at The Associated Press Washington bureau, Monday, May 13, 2013. The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a 'massive and unprecedented intrusion' into how news organizations gather the news."

1. Fox News, James Rosen
The Guardian: "New revelations... are perhaps the most extreme yet when it comes to the DOJ's attacks on press freedoms." In an unprecedented move, the Justice Department treated Rosen like a criminal in order to violate his press freedom. The government tracked his phone calls and even his movements in his pursuit of a story.
