1. Done. Why do they want to control the blogs?

I can see why they might go after internet ads, because they are actually PAID to promote ONE candidate, or ONE issue, but the blogs? Look at DU! There might be positive promotions for ONE candidate, but for each of the positive ones, there are a lot of negatives on the same page!

I don't understand their logic.

3. Blogs represent a loose end.

Loose ends are anathema in an organized crime empire.

4. They want to control the LIBERAL blogs

You know, the ones which support someone other than Republicans . . .

Don't want the intelligent people to be heard, you know.

I say, if you want to take out the blogs, make the churches taxable, too . . .

The question is far too broad, however.
