New heights in Obama Astroturfing

Monday, January 25th, 2010

First we get “Ellie Light.”  This devout disciple of our Dear Leader has more homes than democrat billionaire Senator John Kerry.  She has written a near idential letter to at least 47 newspapers in at least 23 different states. In each case, she claims to be a local resident.  She has made this claim in California, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Maine, and more, oh so many more.  She has even gone international, with her cloned letters appearing in Thailand and Canada.

What is it that hardcore, far left extremist supporters of our Dear Leader have with the truth?

Patterico has additional examples of cloned, Astroturf letter campaigns claiming to be independent letters of support for the far left agenda of the current administration.

Michelle Malkin points out that the “Ellie Light” Astroturf campaign is just the latest example of Obama theater.  The entire Obama campaign & administration has been Astroturf trying to pass itself off as “populism.”

A video report on Obama health care Town Hall – 11 August 2009 – Portsmouth NH

The left’s so-called “protesters” are being paid $10-$15 an hour.   Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this Astroturf?

More lies from the left about Obamacare

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Why do democrats feel the need to lie in order “sell” their so-called “Health Care Reform” program to the American People? Probably because it has little or none to do with improving the Health Care of most tax paying American citizens.

Rightwing Sparkle has yet another example of a what is probably a planted democrat operative lying at a Town Hall meeting.

On Aug. 11th our own Houston Chronicle displayed a picture of Shelia Jackson Lee hugging a woman who had asked a question at the townhall as well, but her question was in full support of the health care bill. The woman was identified as “Dr. Roxana Mayer, a pediatric primary care physician.” Turns out, she isn’t a doctor at all though. She had identified herself to the Chonicle that way though.

So, here we have someone asking a question, giving favor in support of the health care bill, posing as a doctor to give more credibility to her support. When in reality she was an Obama delegate and NOT a doctor.

If “Obamacare” really was beneficial to American Citizens, the simple truth would support the democrat’s policies.  Since they feel the need to lie repeatedly about it, that should tell you all you need to know.

Update: HotAir points out that not only is Roxana Mayer not a doctor, she was an Obama delegate!

The left’s Astroturf

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Far hard left extremist democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barbra Boxer are accusing the American Citizens who are questioning our Dear Leader‘s plan for socializing our medical system of being organized “Astroturf” instead of being the legitimate grassroots movement it is.  This is hardly surprising, since it’s the only way they can get people to “protests” who support their platform.

Let’s review the facts of the matter.  Take a look at the folks who show up to oppose socializing our medical system.  They are dressed like ordinary people, they are carrying homemade signs, and they probably took time off from work, i.e. not getting paid, in order to ask simple questions of their elected representatives.

Now compare these to the so-called “protesters” who show up to support the left’s march to Socialism. Denver photojournalist El Marco points out that those “protesters” “had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read.”

How did the left get those “protesters?” It’s simple, they paid them.  Really.  Check out these ads on Craigs List. In addition to the paid “protesters”, the left brought out their ACORN aggitators and Union thugs.  The staffers running democrat “town hall” meetings are denying access to taxpaying citizens while flooding the room with their ringers.  If voting tax payers do manage to get in, they are then physically attacked by leftist Union thugs and professional aggitators.

Of course, the usual suspects are ignoring the truth and simple facts and spreading lies.

Update: George Soros pours another $5 Million into leftist Astroturn.
