The question being: is it proper to inquire whether a publicly-funded account is being used as a pulpit for an activist organization -- a huge, influential one, at that? I say yes, and I'll repeat what you seemed to object to: I say yes without having a conclusion as to what the answer to the inquiry is. I say yes, whether nor not there was an ulterior motive involved. I say yes, whether or not you can find other examples of other kinds of abuses. Your demand for free speech, anywhere, anytime, anyplace, would seem to cover even this inquiry. Your demand for free speech, anywhere, anyplace, anytime, should not obligate somebody else to pay for it -- and that was the overt point of the inquiry as I understand (if not the actual motive, and I have no way of judging that one). -mm-
