New York Times: Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.
The letter is an opening shot across the bow from an unusual new outside political group on the left that is poised to engage in hardball tactics to prevent similar groups on the right from getting off the ground this fall.
Led by Tom Matzzie, a liberal political operative who has been involved with some prominent left-wing efforts in recent years, the newly formed nonprofit group, Accountable America, is planning to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions. …
The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.
The New York Times treats this like it is a normal thing to do. Imagine the reaction from the NYT if a GOP group sent similar letters to traditional Dem voters.

The phrase "Brown Shirt" get throw around a lot in the blogosphere, however...
ZOMG, poor grammar. Please note that "get throw" = "gets thrown"
Amazing to me, the New York Times treats this guy like a concerned citizen.
This is the adoption of Scientology harassment tactics.
Welcome to the Church of Obamatology.
Leslie, this absolutely is harassment. But I think it's going to backfire on the Obama people because Americans don't like bullies.
