This isn't any more creepy than what companies do to find out who to market and send catalogs to.

They're just finding the people who've donated to conservative groups in the past (and looking at other variables that might indicate a likelihood to donate to conservative causes) and selecting those people as the best propects to mail campaign donation appeals to.

This is really nothing new. And most SLOGgers can probably rest assured that they'll be around the bottom of the list and won't get mailed anything (well, except for gay dude for romney, and seattleblues, and supreme ruler of the universe...)

Unless they're Hispanic Catholics. All my rels who are that are being deluged with this carp.

Wait. Why is his tax information so private because it tells what he gave his church, but other people's spending and church attendance free for the taking?

@3:

Because, at least for now, IRS records are pretty secure from this sort of data-mining.

Not that creepy. Bush and Obama are listening to you phone calls and reading your e-mails (potentially).

SOP for the LDS.

Does anyone else see a Stand with Michele Bachman ad in the right column? I hope I'm not being targetted as a possible supporter of hers. I might be losing my grip on reality.

Yea that Romney Asshole keeps sending me his bullshit. As a supporter of firearm rights I do not support the man who signed the Massotwoshits assault weapons ban, nor do I support least coasters.

Just because an article happens to include the words "Bain Capital" does not require it to be ominously bold-typed. I cannot fathom how a mutual business marketing relationship has anything to do with this article (that goes for the author of the quote as well.)

But Constant, you just hammer home your partisan hackiness with this. You waste your talent.

This must explain why I keep getting so many solicitations from the Rmoney campaign, the postage paid envelopes of which I fill with pennies, washers, and/or pebbles and then place in the mailbox.
