|| set out to

|| she resisted civilly (as she should. yay! for her), they
|| intimidated her in
|| response. <That's the way it works and that's what ought to be

So you're saying they made this quote up, IOW it is not true that she is blacklisted for her political views?
"An official told me that my name had been flagged in the computer," a shaken Oden said. "I was targeted because the Green Party USA opposes the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan."
