Look, just because someone has the ability and legal foundation to do something doesn't mean they aren't a complete douche if they do it. If I was the hackernews admin and would delete all your posts because I disagree with you, that would be a douche thing to do but I would have every right to do it. Similarly, I don't claim the EU does something that is forbidden, but everyone should unite and stand up to manipulative bullying strategies like that.

A seemingly vast majority of Democrats blamed George Bush for the dotcom crash while simultaneously giving Bill Clinton credit for the boom. People don't make a lot of sense when you start scratching their political beliefs.
