‘Rock the Vote’ ObamaCare Push An Epic Fail?
by John NolteTuesday, while talking about Patrick Courrielche’s NEA piece, Rush Limbaugh said, “…there was a story right before I left that [Obama’s] youthful supporters just aren’t anywhere here. They’re not showing up. Where are they? Where are they out there for the Obama agenda? It’s all having to be organized ’cause there’s no real, genuine passion for the agenda.”
If the lack of energy on MTV’s Rock the Vote (RTV) health-care site is any indication, as usual, Rush appears to be right. When it comes to celebrity activism to rally the youth troops, RTV is ground zero (which is why they’re a key component in the NEA conference calls Courrielche’s been writing about), and they’ve dedicated the last few weeks to push ObamaCare with everything they got, including t-shirt propaganda contests, a “Yes We Care” pledge, and A-list celebrity videos starring Perez Hilton—
Perez Hilton?
Other than this commercial (which aired nationally last night) with a couple guys in their mid-thirties who star in a nine-year old sitcom, the best they could find was Perez Hilton? They couldn’t find anyone at the bottom of the barrel; they had to turn it over?
Do you think Perez was the first one RTV called?
And check out the lack of comments on the site’s blog. A video of Perez shilling his lame shirt ranks number one as the post with the most number of comments: seven (as of this writing). Seven. The post has been up five days.
Even more heartening is the fact that three of the comments prove that some of RTV’s more energized readers aren’t exactly on the ObamaCare special bus:
- I also went through my 20['s] without medical ins[urance]. SO. Then I joined the military and EARNED health care. The Military is hiring so shut up and join and you too can get all those great Medical benifits. Oh yeah you might get shot at defending the freedoms of a bunch of free loaders
-So RTV supports big brother and big Gov. Kind of a 180 for free lovin hippies.
-It’s unfortunate that RTV has become just another special interest group.
Finally, the RTV propaganda t-shirt contest received only 11,000 votes. There are shopping malls that hold more teens than that.
Whether it’s our public schools passing out condoms and Dear Leader lesson plans or a complete takeover of the university system, a happy Leftist is one firmly rooted between parent and child — wielding their toxic influence on captive or unsuspecting young minds. And unless you “Go Amish,” nowhere is this more pervasive than in our popular culture.
Pop culture wins too many and loses too few, but maybe they’re losing this one. The evidence is anecdotal but it’s still evidence

John – "Rock the Vote" is kind of like "N.O.W." It only represents women or young people who buy into a leftist agenda. Your comments made me wonder what the ratings are for MTV anymore? I always thought MTV ws the worst thing to ever happen to music in that it put more substance on appearance than musical talent and spawned Millie Vanillie
is this not proof that Perez has no appeal beyond a small core of devoted fans?
the scrubs guys talking about health care reform? "I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV"?
oh man, it's all over but the crying. Ok not permenantly, but this round is.
Who cranked the bar on the side of the box and let this clown out again?
Do young people really want to wear a tee designed by some old hateful freak with grannie hair and a tummy like Pop 'n' Fresh? None I know.
Hell, I've made more than seven comments on one thread here.
Easy on the "Pop 'n' Fresh" I resemble that remark.
I'm at work and one of my coworkers just came in and was jumping around giddy about Obama's speech. I just sent $10 to the "You Lie!" guy.
I love it, 3 of the 7 comments were blasting them….
Maybe they can send ACORN around and sign up a new batch of Performance Artist. Lets say 13 year olds from El Salvador. That should secure there base.

All one needs to know is when they have to put that sleaze ball Perez Hilton as their spokesman, there’s real trouble in Muddville.
Yes, but it is cute on you… especially when you giggle.

I've said this before. If I were the president and Perez Hilton was supporting me, I'd want to pull him aside and say, "Please, don't help me!"
Rock the Vote is so '90's. As if! LOL
What I find hilarious is that two of Obama's greatest supporters are at war with each OTHER. Demi Moore, Servant to Obama, and Perez Hilton are in a Twitter war over Perez pointing out that Demi's 15 year old daughter dresses, well… inappropriately, and apparently attorney's have been called. If I really cared, I'd having a hard time picking sides.
I would more likely just shoot myself.
Rock the Vote is like a piece of cheap real estate Perez probably purchased for his own publicity and has little to do with the cause it's supposedly supporting.
He does kind of look like one of the Joker's henchmen.
Word up. I miss when MTV actually played music videos, I think that was around 1984.
1985 is about the time I stopped watching MTV. I remember, its when I graduated from college, got a job, and joined the adult world. I may have been in the room when some one else had it turned on, but I never bothered.
Proud to be number eight!
May I suggest mimes, so we don't have to listen to them?
I would do what I do now over Hilton, completely ignore his existence, and find a more productive use for my time.
They were so close to snagging Carrot Top…
You 2 get a room….
Kind of reminds me of the good old days when Iran and Iraq were fighting a war of attrition. Those were the days.
Big Hollywood, I am starting to have major concerns with your legitimacy as a serious Political/Entertainment blog site if you insist on giving Perez Hilton any kind of coverage whatsoever. I have more respect and interest in the opinions of homeless people (the ones that talk incoherently to themselves all day) than I do for hearing anything from Perez Hilton. Even bad publicity is good for such a small minded reject of humanity as him.
Please cease and desist all coverage of this vile disgusting person or I will be forced to take my patronage to less obscene and offensive Political blogs sites like that of the Huffington Post.

Heck, if I was a gay rights advocate I'd be telling Perez Hilton "Don't help me."
My feelings about Perez Hilton can be summed up by paraphrasing a really harsh movie review I saw once–"This person isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel. This person isn't the bottom of the barrel. This person isn't beneath the bottom of the barrel. This person doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as barrels."
What's he famous for, other than having a name similar to someone who's famous for the mere fact that she's famous?
"They couldn’t find anyone at the bottom of the barrel; they had to turn it over?"
ROFL
I think it's arguable that MTV is the worst thing to happen to music and TV. Remember that, with "The Real World", they basically started "reality TV".

I need a "mock and malign Perez Hilton" piece at least once a week to survive this Obama administration's socialist crappola.

Perez is BRILLIANT. He draws penises on people and judges beauty pageants. They don't let just anybody do that!

There's just no shame in Obamaville.
So maybe there won’t be that many sign-ups for Obama’s “mandatory volunteer” army.
Since these spoiled brats’ parents are probably having to go back to work, now that Democrats have destroyed the economy, maybe they’ll have to get jobs, too.
Maybe to drum up support Perez Hilton and Will.i.am could, in the spirit of Obamalove, make up and be friends? They may get 5 or 6 more comments on the website! What an event it would be!
Turn it over and scrape the bottom.
Yes…get your Opompous "health care" shirt….all the queers are wearing them!
Watching Perez Hilton and Demi Moore argue over "inappropriate comments" and insults to Moore's daughter is like watching two cochroaches trying to step on each other.
I throw up a bit in my mouth every time I see or hear that Thing.
The comment about the military was the best thing I have read this morning. It basically reads like my life, I did the exact same thing and am still reaping the benefits for defending my country against all enemies foreign and domestic.
His real name is Mario Perez. He was born to Cuban immigrant parents in Florida. He took the name Perez Hilton because of his personal obsession with Paris. He jumped the shark long ago and has since slowly descended toward bitter queendom.
many of us do my friend! *lol*
I think they have to go to France for those.
At least Carrot Top would have been better looking.
Or better yet, they can have a 10 round exhibition MMA bout in Vegas. I give the match to Will.i.am though on a total knockout a few seconds into the 1st round.
