That’s my default position, too, but this to me is a closer call because of the lack of name or image.

And whether it’s the right thing to do, and whether the White House is correct in trying to browbeat them into taking the posters down, are of course two different issues.

It also calls to mind the situation a few months ago when he cut off funding that allowed many D.C. schoolchildren to attend private schools, including the school his daughters go to. A lot of people (including me, on Facebook) wondered how he could so callously destroy the hopes of those children, while his own privileged kids got the finest education money can buy. I feel it’s okay to make the comparison in a discussion, blog post, or article, but I don’t think it would be ok to put it on posters all over town. Nevertheless, the White House is going overboard in harassing a very small organization.
