anyone and everyone who disagrees with or questions the activists is fair game for attacks and innuendo. There aren't any exceptions, even reputable organizations like the ACLU are accused of being in bed with the corporations.

My question was, we have the notes from the mfgrs' meeting with their PR firm and I didn't see any mention of using the same tactics. I wonder why they would show any restraint. I mean if they're capable of physically attacking or even killing their critics, why be shy about something like opposition research, which isn't even illegal as far as I know?
