Misinformation, Disinformation, and attempting to take away their money?
Hey folks,
Happy Thursday to you. I love this piece by the Politico. It's 3 pages long so I will just highlight a few things that I want to point out, but I encourage you to click the link and read the whole thing. The Left is insane. We already know this. They really think that YOU are the enemy, and they think that what is BAD for them, is BAD for the Right, but it is NOT working.
According to the Politico - The left aims for critics' jugular By JEANNE CUMMINGS 9/29/09 4:49 AM EDT
Liberal allies of President Barack Obama aren’t just getting mad at conservative attacks on his agenda. They are getting even in a way calculated to hit conservatives where it counts: their pockets.
Will not happen.
Former GOP House leader Dick Armey, former New York lt. gov. and conservative activist Betsy McCaughey and even Fox News’s Glenn Beck have all seen their financial livelihoods threatened by political activists — who in several cases managed to make good on the threats.
The latest prominent figure in liberal cross hairs is U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue. Environmental activists, citing alleged conflicts of interest, have begun a campaign to pressure him to resign from the board of Union Pacific Railroad or from his longtime post as head of the nation’s top business lobby.
“We’re losing our self-government with these Chicago-style arm-twisting tactics,” complained McCaughey, who resigned from the board of Cantel Medical Group after the firm was connected — unfairly, according to it and McCaughey — to her claims that Obama’s health care reform would lead to death panels and other calamities. “Clearly, it’s an effort to silence critics,” she added.
STOP! You see, right there is mis and disinformation. What the Firm, and many others said was the TRUTH. It WILL lead to death panels, and it WILL reduce care for Seniors, cut Medicaid and Medicare financing, and make it harder for Seniors to get healthcare. THAT IS ALL TRUE. But they did not like it. The White House even send a letter telling them to shut up. {Laughing} So she quit for the good of the company, and she is STILL telling it like it is. It didn't work.
Several progressive groups are employing versions of the tactic, not as part of a coordinated effort but often enough to seem more than coincidence.
Bull.
Faiz Shakir, editor of the progressive ThinkProgress blog, said the juncture of personal finances and political positions is fair game.
That is true. We on the Right have done it. Let you know the truth, and let you decide.
“The information we’ve put out is reliable, accurate and truthful,”
BS. But some is. The majority is false which is easy to defend against. Some is so false it's not even necessary to defend against. Ask Rush.
“They put themselves out there as the leading opponents of health care reform, and, in doing so, they were not truthful and transparent about other motives they may have had.”
WHO is NOT truthful and transparent about Obamacare? Obama and Crew!
Justin Ruben, executive director of MoveOn.org, {Moron.org} is also unapologetic for pushing back against Obama’s critics.
“We said all along that we would take on the opposition and anyone standing in the way” of the White House agenda, he said.
Because they are well funded good little Kooks. Soros is proud of these nuts.
“August was a real wake-up call for progressives {LWL Left Wing Loons} when health care reform was endangered by an angry mob organized by an alliance of insurance companies, oil companies and right-wing fear-mongers,” he added.
You see folks. Once again, they just can not see that it is NOT a REAL Grassroots movement. It can't be, in their mind, that the majority of Americans do not like there agenda. No. They are right and wise. You are to stupid to know what is best for you. You are just mindless robots doing what you are told to do. You could not POSSIBLY be against them.
Truth is, the folks I have talked with that go to the Tea Parties and Townhalls, tell me they are there because they DO NOT WANT Socialism. They do not want their healthcare taken over by Government. They are scared of what is coming with this Administration. No, Not ONE of them ever told me that they are there because they have been ASKED by anyone to go. None of them have been organized. The events have been, but the PEOPLE that attend are there because they WANT to be. Here is more misinformation.
One of the architects of that August campaign against Obama’s health care plans was Armey, who heads FreedomWorks, the conservative organization that spearheaded the “tea party” protests of anything from health care reform to government spending.
Freedom Works did NOT spearhead the Tea Parties. Sorry.
At the time, Armey’s day job was as an adviser at DLA Piper, a lobbying firm in Washington. Armey resigned in late August after MSNBC and others publicly questioned whether his opposition to Obama’s agenda was tied to DLA Piper clients.
Which they never proved.
In an interview, Armey called such claims “unfounded and ungrounded.” But, when he couldn’t stop them, he and DLA Piper agreed something had to change.
DLA Piper suggested Armey quit FreedomWorks, but he refused. Armey felt that DLA Piper was overreacting some, he said, because MSNBC’s ratings aren’t the best. “I said to them: ‘Who’s watching?’”
{Laughing} True.
Ultimately, it came down to one choice: “I could have kept my job and quit talking about public policy issues,” Armey said, so he resigned from DLA Piper.
So instead of sitting down and remaining silent, he quit. Can you say PRINCIPLES? Anyone? Now he get's paid millions by Freedom Watch, with is funded mostly be YOU, so he is not hurting. After this show of principle, he will most likely get MORE money. Just ask Joe Wilson who shouted "You lie" about Obama saying Obamacare will not cover Illegals. He is out fundraising his opponent something like 2 or 3 to 1. The American people heard him. They KNOW truth. They LOVE truth.
Now The latest "Victim" in the Loon's cross hairs is U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue They say that he can not speak out about the GWBS Obama agenda, that would be Waxman - Markey Cap and Tax, because he serves on the board of Union Pacific, a railroad that delivers tons of coal.
However, as Eric Wohlschlegel, a chamber spokesman, puts it, there is no conflict of interest because Tom Donohue does not set the policy. He said the group’s policy positions are determined not by Donohue but by “policy committees, in a democratic process. Those recommendations go to the full board for consideration, again, in a democratic process.”
So they will not win with that. Then this piece wraps it up with this. I love this. According to this:
Fox News commentator Beck’s case is a bit more complicated, since he is both a practitioner and a target of the new pressure tactic.
Beck grabbed credit for costing Van Jones, an adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, his government paycheck.
Jones resigned the “green jobs” czar position after Beck highlighted his prior association with radical left organizations. Jones called it a “smear” campaign but quit rather than become a distraction for the White House.
Which was all true. Beck was not the only one to tell you about Van Jones. Van Jones IS Obama. Rev. Wright IS Obama. Obama IS a Radical. Which people are starting to see for who and what he is.
Earlier, Beck infuriated Obama supporters by calling the president a “racist” and accusing him of having a “deep-seated hatred for white people.”
Which is ALSO true.
In response, ColorofChange.org,{More Left Wing Loons} which tries to elevate the political voice of minorities, {Yeah, like ACORN is Pure and Wholesome} set out to drive advertisers away from Beck’s talk show. About 60 firms have agreed to not run ads on the show, according to Color of Change. {Laughing} Says THEM.
Beck’s program for now relies on a hodgepodge of advertisers, including some with a conservative ideological message.
Always has. This is no surprise. The NYTs is funded by CORPORATE Liberal Kooks. So is NPR, NBC, CBS, ABC, So on and so forth. So is Bill Maher’s HBO show Real Time now.
Despite the success of the campaign — or, in part, because of it — Beck’s ratings have soared. And Fox hasn’t lost revenue because the ads were just moved to other programs.
Nope. They just keep GROWING. So does Rush, Hannity, and others on the Radio. So does The Heritage Foundation and others On Line. People are fed up with the Left's OBVIOUS push to destroy this country and remake it into something it should never be.
Shari Anne Brill, director of programming at Carat USA, a media-buying firm, said she hasn’t “heard of any show that has survived an advertising pullout of this magnitude.”
Uh, yeah. BECK? {Laughing} Or more likely, the size of the pull out is fictitious.
The boycott is reminiscent, she said, of one experienced by Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” program after he commented about the relative courage of the Sept. 11 terrorists. When Maher’s ratings also declined, the show was canceled.
That is why he does not rely on advertisers anymore. Maher is an Idiot.
A similar fate could await Beck if he continues to be considered too radioactive for national advertisers. “As long as the rating levels are there, the network will keep him,” she said. “If that goes, he’s done. He’s toast.”
Psst, He's NOT going anywhere. You just told us how he is SOARING in the Ratings because he is NOT afraid to speak the truth. An attribute I WISH more Politicians on the Right possessed. I wish there was a Rush Politician. I BET you he would be the next President of the REAL United States of America.
Truth is folks, none of this is new. This is page one of the LWL Playbook. They can not win in the arena of ideas. They can not win in intellectual debates. So they simply ATTACK their opponents. Label them Racist, Evil, Corrupt, or whatever. They try to discredit and destroy their PERSONAL lives. Problem is, it only works if the target allows it to. If you stand up against these people, you will win every time. The American People KNOW the truth when they hear it. They are NOT as far gone as the Kooks what you to believe. We still LOVE America, and we will fight until the end, and then some, to KEEP it free.
