The Blog Squad
by Big Dog on Oct 6, 2009 at 23:48 Political
The propaganda machine in the Obama administration is in full swing. We have propaganda art courtesy of the NEA in collaboration with the Obama White House and now there are reports that there is a team of bloggers at the Department of Justice and their job is to troll around the web and anonymously comment on stories that are unfavorable to the DOJ and/or Obama.
The Department of Justice has hired a team of partisan Democrat campaign bloggers to work at the Department. The Muffled Oar has learned this decision was treated with a great deal of skepticism both inside the career ranks at the Department but also among some Obama loyalists who expressed concern that such a decision would lend itself to the growing appearance that the Holder Justice Department is more political than the Bush Justice Department was ever accused of being. Tracy Russo is one such blogger from the campaign of John Edwards. The unit is housed in the Office of Public Affairs. Not only is the Department of Justice Blog Squad going to reach out to nontraditional media like TPM Muckraker or the Muffled Oar, but they are also tasked with fostering anonymous comments at conservative leaning blogs such as the Free Republic. The Muffled Oar
So the most transparent administration in the history of the modern world has anonymous bloggers trolling around to comment on articles critical of Obama and his friends at the DOJ? It seems to me that if this were a transparent process the bloggers would have to use their real names and indicate that they work for the DOJ. Instead, they hide behind fake names and make comments that give the appearance of being from some regular Joe who supports Obama and his DOJ cronies.
This is a criminal act, but just as importantly, it reeks of the old Soviet or Nazi propaganda machines (though in a modern venue). They are out pumping information about the administration in a truly phony fashion and passing it off as genuine. It is dishonest and when combined with the NEA propaganda art truly illustrates how Communistic this administration really is.
Propaganda for Dear Leader by his secret propaganda wing of government.
And Pelosi called the tea parties astro turf…

Extraordinary claim.
Where’s the evidence?
Bigd: “Also NRO”

Which says:
“According to a story at The Muffled Oar website…”
echo echo echo…

D- reach to your left, and you can stroke the next person to you, and if he does the same, pretty soon you have a circle jerk- that would be about the same as what the WH is doing, right?
After all, you and Adam should know about echo chambers.
BLK: reach to your…, and you can stroke…, and if he… pretty soon you have a circle jerk>>

Don’t worry, if I ever want to get involved in a circle jerk, I will certainly look to you. You’re the best. We all have areas that we specialize in.

This just shows us that Obama and the Dems can say and do what they want, but when the people want to use their freedom of speech, Obama is thin-skinned that he is a weakling and can’t handle it=====and this man is supposed to be capable of leading a country. So far, all he has done is make a fool of the US to other countries. I think he will be a one-term president (?)and go out as the most hated.
BARB: “all he has done is make a fool of the US to other countries. I think he will… go out as the most hated.>>

Let’s see how that’s going so far:
“Graphs comparing the approval ratings of presidents George W. Bush in 2008 and Barack Obama in 2009 evoke the trajectory of a pogo stick: BAM! 12 percent for Bush in Germany. BOING! 92 percent for Obama. BAM! 11 percent for Bush in France. BOING! 88 percent for Obama. Overall, the positive reaction to the U.S. president has quadrupled from when the White House changed hands to when the survey was conducted in June.
The gap was the largest ever seen in any category in the report’s eight-year history and shocked even the most optimistic Obama supporters, said Ron Asmus, director of GMF’s Brussels office. “No one thought this kind of bounce was possible,” he marveled. “People were so pessimistic after Bush and said ‘okay, 10, 20 percent would be good.’ But instead you got 60, 70 points. These things don’t happen but once a century!”
LINK.
Nope, I guess it’s just you Barbara (and a few others).
D.
Why don’t we wait and compare the end of Obama’s term to the end of Bush’s or compare the beginnings of each?
Yep, them Europeans love them some weak-A$$ obama- it makes them feel SO much better about their lives.
Bigd: “or compare the beginnings of each”>>
DAR
Bush never had very high numbers until he got the artificial 9/11 bump. Obama wins any comparison, here (and especially abroad), in the “beginning.” And that’s considering GW inherited peace and prosperity while Obama was handed the second republican Great Depression (economy bleeding 700k jobs per month).
Unless he attacks the wrong country (again) or accidentally nukes somebody, it’s almost inconceivable that he could finish with lower numbers, here or abroad, than Bush’s record breakers.
D.
Republican Great Depression. You are a laugh a minute. Can you not see Democrats were in charge when it tanked and that BOTH parties were responsible for this?
Artificial bump for 9/11? As opposed to the artificial bump because no one wants to dis the first black man in the White House?
When inflation is in the ionosphere he will be very popular.
Bigd: “Democrats were in charge when it tanked”>>
DAR
Nope. They really didn’t push much on anything (rather choosing to wait and let Bush finish his fine job). And when they DID step up and try to accomplish some good, they were met with:
“Republicans Break All Time Filibuster Record
December 19, 2008
By Lou Gerber, Legislative Director
Republicans last night broke the all-time Senate record for filibusters in a two-year term when they forced the 62nd cloture vote of this session on the omnibus appropriations bill, H.R. 2764.
The previous record of 61 cloture votes in a two-year term was set in 2001-2002, the last time the GOP comprised the minority in the Senate.
The fact that the new record for legislative obstruction was set in less than one session would be similar to Roger Maris hitting 61 home runs before the mid-season break for the all-star game, instead of during the 162 game baseball season.
From refusing to allow the Senate to vote on the merits of the Employee Free Choice Act, to denying a roll call on the substance of the prescription drug bill, to preventing a vote on legislation implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission, GOP Senators impeded solutions to pressing problems.
Under Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Republican Senators have instituted “new math” in which 60 votes have replaced 51 votes as the required majority to pass legislation.
…Republican Senators have earned a new name for the venerable acronym GOP – – the Great Obstruction Party!

Bigd: Artificial bump for 9/11?>>
DAR
You want to question that? Perhaps a picture can help you out.
Bigd:”no one wants to dis the first black man in the White House?”>>
DAR
“No one?” Are you sentient? Huffing the glue again? You have entire cable station devoted to dissing the black man in the White House.
Bigd: “When inflation [happens] he will be very popular.>>
DAR
I think you meant “unpopular.”
And when froggies have wings, they won’t have to bump their bottoms so hard when they hop down the road.

Got news for you D- the economy AND afghanistan are ALL Hussein’s- at some time he needs to step forward, quit lying like a dog, and take responsibility of his and Lib’s mistakes- but I don’t think he’s man enough,
Funny Darrel, I could get great approval ratings if I go to NK and blame America for everything too…All Obama has done is blame our nation for everything bad that has ever happened…Approval for that type of “Leader” is short lived. It is fading already, did ya notice the IOC slap? LMAO…Did ya notice the moves Iran, China and the Arab league is making? Yeah good move Obama, keep up the good work and we will match your homeland in inflation and monetary value…
Darell is just where a lot of us were under GWB, we were glad when he was elected, we were glad and defended him for many years, but eventually a large majority of us woke up and realized the damage he did… And I’d trade GWB for Obama right now! That’s how bad Obama has and is going to continue screwing our nation up….Keep following him and kissing his ass Darell, the light will be turned on soon and you will se the ass your lips are planted on is covered with warts.
ROB: “All Obama has done is blame our nation for everything bad that has ever happened”>>
DAR
If you would like to back up your charge with specific examples, I would be glad to see them. You will find that you are just exaggerating and your examples don’t hold up.
Apologizing for mistakes made (and GWB made a lot of them on America’s behalf), is a sign of strength (and maturity), not weakness.

“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

That you would have to appeal to this pathetic example of him accidentally saying “57” instead of “47” shows just how weak the position is for those who might try to compare the Bush gaffe machine, with Obama.
Hey, when are they going to come out with the Obama Gaffe-a-Day calendar like I had for Bush? Shoot, Bush was putting out at least a howler per day. Every day, for years. And I’m not talking about misstating a number. That would never make any decent gaffe list.
Do you think they will ever make a gaffe a day calendar for Obama? No, I don’t either. Do you know why? I do.

The Complete Bushisms.
That is because Nobama celebrates May Day, along with the other communists.
How about this howler?- “Noone, if they make $250,000 or less, will see an increase in their taxes.”
Or how about ” I will not sign a bill unless it is deficit- neutral.”
Or, ” Before my first term is up, I will cut the deficit in half.”
He has a career in comedy.
He certainly has lying down to an art.
Asa far as blaming our nation, just review ANY of his speeches to any EUROPEAN nation- all the blaming is there- it is SOP prevalent, that even you should find examples with no trouble.

Not my job, not my claim. Good luck with that.
You guys like to make this claim but I have yet to see any of you once, even once, attempt to do what you say is “no trouble,” and that is back up your claim with an attempted example.
Pathetic.

You are right there, Robert- Nobamma is the world’s bi**h, and they just love to treat him harshly.
This is (loosely defined) a man who bashes America every chance he gets-
I think he wears a hammer and sickle lapel pin.

Must be Darrel.
Darrel, Sav and Adam. The job stimulus plan…
Bunny applied but was so obnoxious they gave him a different job as the hospitality czar
ha! ha! ha! funny.
Bunny WOULD fit in with all those other commies, misfits and spoiled “inner children”.
