Obama White House coordinating 527 attacks on GOP?
posted at 11:34 am on February 11, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Remember when the Democrats had their panties in a wad over the presence of Karl Rove in the Bush White House? They objected to the politicization of the executive branch and the apparent and alleged political coordination between Rove and outside groups. Now that Barack Obama has cleaned out the White House, though, things like that will never, ever happen again. Right? Right?
President Obama’s allies on the left, AFSCME and the labor-backed Americans United for Change, are ramping up with a massive advertising blitz containing the most direct and hard-hitting attack yet on specific GOP leaders, demanding that they get behind the recovery package and stop saying “No.”
White House aides were told in advance what the concept of the ads would be, though they were briefed while the ad was in production, according to a Democrat familiar with the discussions. The ad, which is running nationally on cable, goes considerably farther than Obama and the White House has in directly calling out Republican leaders, flashing images of GOP Reps John Boehner and Eric Cantor, and Senator Mitch McConnell.
The ad — which is accompanied by a big targeted radio ad blitz hitting 18 GOP House members and three Senators opposing the plan — is a sign that Obama and his advisers won’t try to get in the way as allied groups play hardball with the Republicans in the final stretch of the stimulus fight, even as the Obama administration hits GOPers blocking the plan somewhat less directly or aggressively.
I believe Greg Sargent meant to say in the second paragraph that the aides were not told in advance. Either way, it looks like White House politicization is just peachy with the Left, as long as it serves their purposes. Obama and his aides want to attack Republicans while maintaining a false front of bipartisanship, a calculated and cynical attack mode that completely belies Obama’s platitudes about getting past partisan differences.
We used to joke about Karl Rove brain implants when people accused conservative commentators of taking talking points and marching orders from the White House. Now it looks as though the unions and their 527s take marching orders from Rahm Emanuel. The permanent campaign continues, and only the players and brain implants change.
Does John McCain and Russ Feingold know about this?

Apparently…this is the best that the House leadership can offer in response. A profanity laced tirade that belies this is the party of “family values.” Stay classy Eric Cantor.

And I think Ed is being a little silly here again. Our objections was the propensity for Bush to appoint political allies to positions where:
1. They had no experience like Brownie
2. Their experience had them fighting against the laws they were supposed to enforce.
The White house’s ability to control the political debate was annoying, but not particularly corrupt. Are we going to pretend that first term Presidents stop being politicians? They always run for office, Bush did the same.

Now Al Gore will control the temperature in your own house
And your fate is no longer steered by your own stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Obamaius
Age of Obamanius
Obamanius! Obamanius!
Unlimited welfare spending and taxing

No more Republican objections
Only Harry and Nancy’s visions
One more after another Supreme Court marxist ordination
And Conservative’s complete subjugation
This is the dawning of the Age of Obamaius

You mean besides her 8 years as a member of the armed services committee and her active participation in foreign policy debates during the 8 years of the Clinton administration? GOP senators could not stop themselves in praise of her expertise, knowledge and experience, nice try though.
I agree with you in principle. But when it comes to Treasury Secretary you need a Wall Street insider. Those guys are incredibly insular, cliquish (not to mention arrogant as f*ck, oh god Wall Street execs I really can’t stand them!!! sorry…tangent) and will only respond to “one of their own.” That’s quite different from staffing the EPA with people from the oil and coal industry ala Bush. You don’t have to get along with oil industries to regulate them.

Not sure how you can claim he’s a lefty when his entire war cabinet is made of hawks and most of his economic advisors have spent their careers fighting for free, unregulated markets. It’s now “socialist” to coordinate political activity between the white house, the Dem party and private groups. LOL OK.

Somehow the destruction of the most free economy whose system has raised untold number of people out of poverty is worthy of damnation for eternity. To say nothing of charity or lack thereof from our leaders (how much did Biden give away in the last three years?). Where does Baracks brother (step or otherwise) live?

F*ck family values. I can think of no worse curse words than Obama’s latest partisan-fueled speech, the one you claimed to love even though you also claim to hate that speech in pundits.
So then you guys voted for Obama. Brilliant. I haven’t heard you raise any objects to the inexperience he placed in his cabinet.
17 lobbyists and 4 tax cheats.
And was tarred for it. You can’t pretend the last eight years didn’t happen. Bush is still being called divisive.
Biggest anti-feminist argument EVER put forth for Hillary. Being married to a man is not at all the same as having the experience in the job yourself.

My point is that family values can never be driven by the government, and it’s idiotic to assume they can. If people want to fight the culture war, that’s one thing, but it doesn’t involve politicians as anything other than mouthpieces.

There are many good ideas on HA, but sadly they go nowhere because we have no leaders to mobilize us. We have to start doing things that we can organize online. I suggest WE take a page from the Alinsky playbook. First, start ridiculing The One. Every chance we get, we have to make a caricature out of him to our liberal friends, colleagues and families. Next, we have to let our liberals know what’s in the stimulus bill. I talked to several people today who had not a clue. Take time away from HA to e-mail all the liberals you know. Third we have to get into all of the Messiah town hall meetings that we can. Wear Obama T-shirts and infiltrate. Tell his handlers you want to ask a tough question, like : Does your wife get jealous that so many women adore you? Then if you get called on, ask him a real question.
This is serious, folks. It’s our country. Our future. We have to take it back, starting today.

blankminde on February 11, 2009 at 4:51 PM
This seems to happen in every administration. Everybody, unless I missed a post, has forgotten to mention Leon Panetta. Heck, even Porter Goss had actual experience in the CIA at one time, and look at how some of the Dems piled on him when Bush named him as CIA head. The problem that I would have with Obama if I actually cared about this stuff that much is that he is being a bit hypocritical because 1) He essentially claimed that he would name no lobbyists to his administration, and look at what he’s doing with the deputy secretary of defense nomination and 2) because he is among many, or at least the type, who criticized the nominations of people like Michael Brown. Leon Panetta has no experience in the CIA at all, as far as I know. I don’t see people giggling about the nomination when they had a field day about the Harriet Myers, although that one took some bashing from both sides. Again, the problem is that Obama claims to be different, but he’s not. He’s just another politician. Nothing wrong with that, but his voters need to stop acting like he’s some kind of transformative figure. What he’s pushing, in my opinion, is the same views from 30 years ago; all you have to do is watch the 1980 debate between Reagan and Carter. Carter was pushing for what is tantamount to universal healthcare then too.
And, for all the bashing, I like Obama as a person. I even would be apt to agree with him on some issues. I didn’t vote for the guy in 2008 and I won’t in 2012, but I respect him. He needs to gain more respect by taking Ed Schultz and Helen Thomas and the likes of a Huffington Post “reporter” off the front row, for starters. Okay, enough of my tangent. :)
NathanG on February 11, 2009 at 4:51 PM
It’s age-old socialist policy to present the populace with a “common foe”. Republicans are to the Obama administration what Jews were to Hitler’s Germany and what Americans are to Chavez’s Venezuela… scapegoats to focus attention upon while a dictator makes his power-grab.
There’s literally NO REASON why Obama wouldn’t have called for a “bipartisan” stimulus bill from the off if that’s what he wanted. He WANTED this discord. That’s obvious.

Obama is attempting to overwhelm the public with the presentation of so many events, i.e closing the terrorist prison in Cuba, moving the census into the White House, appointing a porn lawyer to the justice department, etc., etc., etc. Simply, they’re flooding the zone. Don’t get discouraged, stick with the important issues and continue to fight their socialism. You might lose but by God you’ll go down swinging and not whimpering. Obama hopes that the country will become so arm weary that they will simply give up . . . don’t do it.

The Alinsky way is to target, isolate, and destroy.
One would perhaps target the loudest public acolytes of global warming, dig into their history. Expose them. Out the gay ones. Find the tax cheats. Look for plagiarism in their publications. Etc. etc.
Not necessarily saying I’d condone it, but this is how it would be done if the conservatives ever decided to extract payback.

My aunt on Social Security saved enough to make it. She said she would give it all away to stop the Stimulus. She gives 20% of her money to her church and The Salvation Army.
She barely remembers the end of the great depression but does remember Roosevelt trying to be a dictator and using events as an excuse. I wonder if he gave money to charity?

I think the Obama-media coordination effort will reach a crescendo with the launch of a new “American Idol”-type show, in which contestants compete to offer the most groveling, fawning professions of love for the Messiah at his town hall meetings. The winner gets a house, a job, or a billion dollar bailout. By 2009, winning the top spot on this show will be the only way to own a house. By 2010, it will be the only way to get food.

Of COURSE, this Kenyan White House usurper and crooked Chicago-based pile of dog poo is coordinating 527 attacks on Republicans. That’s what moveon.org and the union thugs are for, don’tchaknow?
Don’t worry, the White House and moveon.org already have an enemies list, and I’m already on it. And so are most of you. You see, the Brownshirted thug “true believers” have no compunctions about stomping out opposition. And you better believe that they hate rightwing blogs and authors almost as much as they hate Limbaugh.
Just look at their behavior during the campaign and the strong-arm tactics they used against Obama’s opposition. Now that they are in power and run the legislature, they have no constraints to outlawing legitimate dissent, and hardly any when it comes to “direct action” against dissenters. Michelle refers to their behavior as becoming unhinged. I call their behavior the closest thing to Nazi goosestepping since WWII.
If you don’t believe or understand that conservatives and Republicans are facing a modern “Krystalnacht” in the near future orchestrated by these thugs, you’re hopelessly naive.

What a freaking crock. Where is my moon, my levee, my dream?
Apparently ‘my moon’ is to pick up litter along the side of the highway.
QUESTION FOR TECHIES:
Is it worthwhile to bombard this site with bogus names and e-mail addresses?
I don’t doubt Obamonkey will count every bogus entry as a legitimate sign-up when it suits his needs to advertise a large number – just wondering if a 1000-1 or greater ratio of bogus entries can encumber this endeavor at all?
If we do choose to fill this with bogus info – is it better to have obviously fake info (like signing bin Laden up) or is it better to actually make them think it might be an honest applicant?

Regardless of topic, eschew any “comprehensive reform legislation package” as it inevitably is a deadly pox to logic.

A legal secretary is not necessarily a paralegal, and certainly not an attorney.
Obama’s young Director of Research is a data dirt miner.

Hey Death, how does this fit into your no experience, political appointee payback argument?

Well if you were smart you would have used a nick that didn’t identify you or even the name of somebody you dislike. Of course I’m not saying that I would do that, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Well since MadisonConservative calls me dumb and a dick…
My real name is Mark Garnett, I don’t hide behind a funny name, I have nothing to hide and will use my Freedom of Speech until you put people like me in jail. I am a very lould and proud Conservative, I am NOT a Republican. I love America and I will fight politicaly against Obama in the POS’s attempt to thwart The Constitution and our freedoms. Please come after me, I have no issue being a Conservative JTP type… Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin express MY opinions, not the other way around. They simply give voice to what I feel, think and believe. So please Messiah, start comming after us… because we are comming after you politicaly in 2010 and for sure in 2012. We will prevail and we will take America back from the far left radical Socialists.

Dude, you should be happy that’s all you’ve been called. Wait til one of the ‘wish you were dead’ crowd goes to work on you. Then you know you’ve arrived.

Obama’s America

OT
To counter the Obamamunist propaganda here’s how I am seeing economic news this morning.
The DJI is down 185 and at 7,755. Bloomberg is reporting that “stocks tumbled, extending a global slide in equities, as jobless claims climbed to a record and investors speculated government measures will fail to revive the world’s economy.” Nikkei, DAX and others are also down for similar reasons including the so called TARP II as announced by the already failed Treasury Secretary and scoff law Timothy Geithner.
They are predicting the biggest drop in the GDP since 1946. A slight rise in retail sales was reported to be around 1% which is not enough to calm the markets by any means. The stimulus package has been said that it will create hyper-inflation and/or combined with a drop in the dollar. This said stimulus package also contains a meager $400 dollar “tax cut” for single payers which is well below the advertised tax cut touted by Barack Obama during the campaign. As you know, this money will be taxed in the long run and immediately when you take local taxes into account.
As I closet the DJI is down 193 at 7,746 and Barack Obama has a full day of doing Lincoln impressions.

Hugo can’t huff and puff like when George W Bush was in office. But he is still trying talk about a one trick pony. Who in Venezuela is feeling threatened by Barack H Obama?
