NEWLY REVEALED DOCUMENTS Contradict NEA Chairman Landesman
by Patrick Courrielche“The former NEA Director of Communications acted unilaterally and without the approval or authorization of then-Acting Chairman Patrice Walker Powell.” – Rocco Landesman, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, on September 22, 2009
Chairman Landesman’s claim that Yosi Sergant, the former NEA Communications Director, acted “unilaterally” on the controversial August 10th conference call is not only beginning to erode, but new documents obtained by Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act show that another federal employee thought the arts effort was entering murky legal waters.
–
In an email dated July 30, 2009, Nellie Abernathy, a representative of the federal program United We Serve, sent an email to Sergant to inquire of his interest in attending a meeting regarding 9/11 events – the culmination day of the United We Serve campaign. In the email Abernathy states (emphasis added):
“Just got off the phone with [redacted]. They’re interested in helping produce some 9/11 events and will be in DC next week. Any chance you could join us for a meeting Tuesday morning? Or does this fall into that sketchy grey we might get arrested area?”
Sergant responded, “I’d love to.”
The subject of the email correspondence was entitled “rock the vote,” which presumably should have been redacted (blacked out) in the subject line given that the organization is a non-government group and the other subject lines in the email chain were redacted.
Readers following this story may recall that Rock the Vote was a presenter on the controversial August 10th conference call that encouraged an arts group that worked on Obama’s election campaign to create art on issues that were being vehemently debated nationally; including health care, energy, and the environment. As a presenter Bates stated the following, “We just wanted to give you one quick tangible example of things that can be done.” Bates then went on to explain how Rock the Vote was considering having an artist create an art installation from urban waste to engage young people “on the issue of a new environmental movement.”
Rock the Vote is a non-profit voter registration organization that is frequently involved in partisan political activity – a conflict that Abernathy appears to address in her email correspondence with Sergant. Eleven days after the August 10th conference call, Rock the Vote announced a health care design competition. The contest announcement read:
“We can’t stand by and listen to lies and deceit coming from those who are against reforming a broken system…We need designs that tell the country YES WE CARE! Young people demand health care now.”
The new FOIA documents also show that additional federal employees were aware of this arts effort, including another NEA employee by the name of Elizabeth Stark. Email correspondence between Abernathy, Sergant, and Stark show that a United We Serve meeting was arranged by Stark for Sergant.
Philip Martin, an outreach coordinator for United We Serve, also appears in the FOIA documents, showing that he was aware of Sergant’s efforts and was working with him on another arts outreach program in Philadelphia. The federal employees that were aware of this arts effort continue to grow and now include Yosi Sergant (NEA), Elizabeth Stark (NEA), Nellie Abernathy (United We Serve), Philip Martin (United We Serve), Buffy Wicks (White House Office of Public Engagement), and Kalpen Modi (White House Office of Public Engagement).
Chairman Landesman’s claim that Sergant acted “unilaterally” is becoming harder to swallow.

Again, I must say I'm SHOCKED that an Obama official may be guilty of prevarcation!

This is so Joe Goebbelesque.
“We can’t stand by and listen to lies and deceit coming from those who are against reforming a broken system…We need designs that tell the country YES WE CARE! Young people demand health care now.”
Young People, you have been broken by Selfish People in the 1960's and 1970's who used to sing songs about how they would die before they got old.
Sorry to tell you Young People, Jane Fonda and the Sisterhood is old and needs your fresh blood to appear sweet sixteen.
Young People; fear the Oba-Mao con-artists they are Incontinent Prostitutes are vampires seeking to suck dry the blood of your life.

The 'enlightened' reformers are the highly educated, often atheistic, privileged political power brokers who mock and insult the angry mobs of conservative, working and middle-class, God-fearing, one-foot-in-front-of-the-other types who very often are the brave, selfless Americans who serve their country with honor. Is it me or is there something wrong with this picture?
Courrielche the muckraker, I love it. In 2010 we can rake out the rest of the muck too, hopefully.
So Landesman is full of it and now he knows we know.

Landesman would love to have Leni Riefenstahl in his stable about now. Ah, the power, the imagery, the climax! Oh for the good old days!
Guess what? Obama is now in the same league as Woodrow Wilson. How must that feel?
These Marxists are shameless, are they not?
Redacted? Under what provision of Law are they allow to redact information that is not of a national security nature. Perhaps this just became far more interesting.
Think of this when those hated "right wingers" accuse this administration of a rush to socialism/Marxism/government control over all aspects of our lives. BHO is a walking, talking scam. And the fools that rush headlong in agreement are incapable of honest discussions.
…you know…after awhile, you run out of witty comments that are an attempt alleviate the feeling that we are heading for cliff and if we stop at all, the bus will run us over…
…probably just me…
This is what Socialists do.
Good ole fascist propaganda from the leftists, they are Nazi's minus the gas chambers.
This is solved by enforcing the Hatch Act that prohibits Federal employees or any other local or state governmental employee who's salary is in part paid for with Federal dollars from engaging in political activity such as described above.
This activity is a CRIME under Federal law that dates back to 1939.
I hold several advanced degrees (real ones too – not "come for six months!" diploma factory degrees) and am an Ivy League graduate, a Mensan, a Son of the American Revolution, I make deep into six figures of income and I am
CONSERVATIVE. More than that, I am TRADITIONAL and a PATRIOT (not really sure what conservative means anymore…)
The lies and conceit of the 1960s New Left, especially the "all educated people think like us" propaganda is self-deception on their part. Fact is, most of them went ot college because they were too cowardly to risk the draft. Their personal guilt propels them to this day.
Anyway, the point is this: many of us "Right Wing Extremists" are everything the Bolshevik Left thinks themselves to be, but they are deluded while we are the geese that lay the golden eggs.
Were they in greater touch with reality, they would realize this. On the other hand, they will not stand a chance when the shooting starts.
SERIOUSLY!! Would you America haters PLEASE take your whining, loathing and hatred somewhere else PLEASE!
We were ALREADY on the path to the cliff you retards, we FINALLY have someone that is not wanting to follow the path of Reagan and W that resulted in $9T added to the deficit between them, 10's of millions of jobs shipped overseas to benefit their Corporate base (can't figure how job flight overseas helps Americans) and focused so much on the top 5%, of which I am a member, that we have income disparity that lags only behind Mexico and Russia.
The idiocy and total lack of common sense among the juvenile Con crowd makes me shake my head in wonder…And realize that COns hate everything about America…They hate our government, our colleges, gays, minorities, our Courts, muslims and on and on….
Alright back to your ignorant McCarthyism mentality…The black man is a Nazi and a Facist! Leave it to you of the idiot Right to not have the basic understanding they are polar opposite doctorines…
Give 'em time
Wow what a bunch of sheep you "young people" have become. When I was a "young person" (1970's) if the government told us something we automatically took the opposite opinion until the feds could prove otherwise. Yes we were called "rebellious" back then. Now you "young people" are nothing but a bunch of followers. What a bunch of pathetic wimps. BTW: by what Amercan principle do you claim my income so you can have free healthcare. What are you liberals going to do when the producers are taxed out of existence? My own personal example is my one man business that is becoming successful through hard work and sacrifice is not going to hire the two people I planned to hire in 2010 because of the relentless attacks against small business in favor of non-producer like you.
Funny, your the only one who brought color into this.
Stick with the facts, not personal attacks.
I'm on your side.
"the black man is a Nazi and a Facist"……..kind of like W was for 8 years to you people. You' re an idiot. Jobs over seas…….NAFTA anyone?……Clinton Anyone?
We don't hate everything about America. Just stupid liberals (like yourself, dear) who deem to think they know so much better than all us "dumb rednecks" and need to tell us how to live every single aspect of our lives. NO idiocy, NO lack of common sense. In fact, we have lots more than your side of the table. Good luck with your life, bud.
America does not consist of "our government and our courts" — although the left would have us think that those define who we are. Those institutions are supposed to serve the country, not the other way around.
$9T to the deficit – with only $1.2T of that in less than 1 year under Obamao. Or 13%. SO, I guess we can overlook that little detail. Of course, at that rate, we can expect another 4.8 trillion by 2012. Hmmm. Can we afford that?
Look up the word Fascism and then read some history – you just might change your mind about Fascism and Nazism not be even closely related.
What we love is our constitution, and what we hate is when our government, our courts, our schools and the institutions that have been entrusted to educate our citizenry fail to adhere to its rules.
This current administration is operating outside the bounds of the constitution is a huge way, as is our congress.
And franjkly, my guess is you don't have a job that pays you enouigh to live the way you wish, so you want me to pay for you. And that I can afford to because I have worked very hard to make sure I can take care of myself financially.
Well – you can go to hell. You want more money? Wok for it, jerk.
Stupid Obama thinks everyoen should buy their own health care. Why don't we fisrt start by requiring people to buy their own damned food first. People that are too lazy to feed themselves are worth less than dogs. If you don't put a bowl of food out for a dog at least he'll go scavaging around the yard for a dead mouse or something to eat.
Let the arrogant, elitist, vote-the-straight-democrat-ticket have their say. We'll do our ass-kicking at the election booths.
This communist must meet the demise that others have felt with cold hard steel…..Death to all commie pinko bums.
Your comments are on point as well as sue in a previous post.
I'm just surprised that you'd want to waste your time throwing a tantrum at retards like us. How insensitive of you, never mind your inaccurate, sweeping generalizations and projections.
When I grow up, I want to be just like you…not!
When will you people learn that for Dems, saying something makes it true – even if it is not? They don't want to be confused by proof they are wrong or lying. If they say no one else was involved, we should just accept that and shut up, If they say we want their 2000 page health care bill, we should believe them and shut up. Those who don't are loony, radical, stupid, etc., etc.
mmm mmm mmm Barack Hussain Obama mmm mmm mmm. YES WE CAN!! Which means, yes we can let the taxpayers pay for my propaganda and nobody can stop me!
This is the generation that came out of the peaceniks and now they have power. I long for Ronald Reagan… and I'm a Dem… but not for long.
I'm glad that I quit the Democratic Party.
IDIOT!
Why are parts of it crossed off? Isn't that only for items of national security? How are NEA emails a matter of national security?
Boy, this new open and transparent administration sure seems a little creepy, eh? I'm not going to say its a coverup, but … uh….
Leftist hypocrites used to indoctrinate me against Reagan as a naive youth. Luckily, I was smart enough to loathe how grown men and women feel the need to indoctrinate unsuspecting children into their cult of personality. Take a trip to Africa, Cuba or Southeast Asia. Iconic murals of uncontested leaders abound and any dissent therefrom is ridiculed and even worse. Liberals are showing themselves to be what they in fact are: Hypocrite elitists who need there to be an underclass in order to prosper. They are vampiric ghouls feeding off the flesh o fthe underinformed masses.
My wife was a Democrat for 40 years…. note that I said WAS! The radicals running her former party, are not Democrats they are Marxists… and those are her words!
Guess I'm wondering where all the young people who want health care are? they have I-pods but check the box to turn down the deducted health care when its offered at work. But they do have the latest toys don't they.
Seems health care is only important if they don't think they have to pay for it.
You know the old saying "if its free, its for me!"
Would anyone in this Administration lie? You bet… it has become a way of life for them!
Here's a novel though on open, transparent government. Can Obama kindly release his college transcript and LSAT scores? Bush did it (recall we found out he was a 'C" student at Yale….as was his opponent John "purported genius" Kerry). Hey, if I would have gotten a "plus factor" into Harvard Law and onto the HLR, I'm certain I would have riddent the grade inflation to cum laude as well.
Obama–Biggest myth in political modernity.
I am a trader. I earn what I get in trade for what I produce. I ask for nothing more or nothing less than what I earn. That is justice. I don't force anyone to trade with me; I only trade for mutual benefit. Force is the great evil that has no place in a rational world. One may never force another human to act against his/her judgment. If you deny a man's right to Reason, you must also deny your right to your own judgment. Yet you have allowed your world to be run by means of force, by men who claim that fear and joy are equal incentives, but that fear and force are more practical.
The Obama Administration continues to show it's insensitivity… Insensitivity to ethics, the law, the constitution, and to anyone who dares oppose them. Their moral relativism is evident in the fact that their actions in violating Federal Campaign laws continue on in utilizing Taxpayer-funded organizations for partisan political advocacy. Where is the lame-stream media in reporting these obvious violations of the law by many, many Obama Administration officials? Oh- that's right… as long as the ends are for the 'proper' causes, you can us 'Any Means Necessary'. HYpocritical, mindless Kool-Aid drinking leftbots! Or as Lenin called them, 'Useful Idiots'
You've allowed such men to occupy positions of power in your world by preaching that all men are evil from the moment they're born. When men believe this, they see nothing wrong in acting in any way they please. The name of this absurdity is 'original sin'. That's inmpossible. That which is outside the possibility of choice is also outside the province of morality. To call sin that which is outside man's choice is a mockery of justice. To say that men are born with a free will but with a tendency toward evil is ridiculous. If the tendency is one of choice, it doesn't come at birth. If it is not a tendency of choice, then man's will is not free.
Lefties justify their actions to destroy individual liberty by labelling it as "helping" people. They'll do what's best for you – whether you like it or not – and sleep well at night knowing they "helped". PLEASE – tell them we're about helped to death!
And then there's your 'brother-love' morality. Why is it moral to serve others, but not yourself? If enjoyment is a value, why is it moral when experienced by others, but not by you? Why is it immoral to produce something of value and keep it for yourself, when it is moral for others who haven't earned it to accept it? If it's virtuous to give, isn't it then selfish to take?
Your acceptance of the code of selflessness has made you fear the man who has a dollar less than you because it makes you feel that that dollar is rightfully his. You hate the man with a dollar more than you because the dollar he's keeping is rightfully yours. Your code has made it impossible to know when to give and when to grab.
You know that you can't give away everything and starve yourself. You've forced yourselves to live with undeserved, irrational guilt. Is it ever proper to help another man? No, if he demands it as his right or as a duty that you owe him. Yes, if it's your own free choice based on your judgment of the value of that person and his struggle. This country wasn't built by men who sought handouts. In its brilliant youth, this country showed the rest of the world what greatness was possible to Man and what happiness is possible on Earth.
Then it began apologizing for its greatness and began giving away its wealth, feeling guilty for having produced more than ikts neighbors. Twelve years ago, I saw what was wrong with the world and where the battle for Life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality and that my acceptance of that morality was its only power. I was the first of the men who refused to give up the pursuit of his own happiness in order to serve others.
To those of you who retain some remnant of dignity and the will to live your lives for yourselves, you have the chance to make the same choice. Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil.
If you've understood what I've said, stop supporting your destroyers. Don't accept their philosophy. Your destroyers hold you by means of your endurance, your generosity, your innocence, and your love. Don't exhaust yourself to help build the kind of world that you see around you now. In the name of the best within you, don't sacrifice the world to those who will take away your happiness for it.
The world will change when you are ready to pronounce this oath:
I swear by my Life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man,
nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine.
Yeah, what ARE some of these redactions? They make no sense. I hope whoever filed the FOIA will contest those redactions!!!
I think it is a misconception that Americans will docilly allow a slide into socialism. Unfortunately or perhaps not I think that many Americans will resist this with force if necessay. Americans are slow to anger but when aroused are fierce indeed.
When people realize that the idea is to penalize and confiscate property from productive cicizens and transfer wealth to unproductive citizens, and also to illegals and 'world government' the fur will fly.
I AGREE WITH YOU and will do my share at the booth, BUT, 10,000 votes, THAT'S TEN THOUSAND absentee ballots WERE NOT counted in NY-23! The left has taken over the election booths by crook.
I used to think that only in the dictionary did money and success come before work, I guess the present Administration has taught me different..
Spoken like a true Randian.
Inteligent rational people (all different) would put there differences aside and consider whats best for America. If health care is broken, make a list of whats broken and a list of the fixes.
1. Fraud is rampant in the medicare/medicade programs
2. Medicare/medicade will be broke in 5-10 years
3. 20-40 million people (Note I did not say Americans) are without healthcare insurance.
Once complete the discussion turns to how to enact the fixes without causing more problems then we just fixed.
SOLUTION #1 I don't think anyone argues that fraud shouldn't be fixed but the solution put forth by the administration is to raise the taxes on the rich ($200K+) and then spend 100+ billion a year more to insure those without insurance without even addressing the original problem cited.
SOLUTION #2 I don't even know where to start with this. It won't be just medicare/medicade that will be broke especially with the half-wittted cost estimates that the CBO was told to give. Anyone who has been involved in any GOVT program can tell you that GOVT cost estimates are out of date before the ink is dry.
SOLUTION #3 At best it will cover 75% at worst less than 50% of the uninsured with an option on fining or even better putting those who don't want to play in jail.
Can anyone tell me how this serves America?
Worst. Radical Marxist. Lying. President. Ever.
Time for a coup, folks…
Not is Bill Ayers has his way (as he still has Ob-Rahm-Acorn-Alinsky's ear) …
Remember – his answer re: unrepentent Capitalists, who are non-reteachable in his re-education camps…
is to exterminate them – up tp 25 MILLION !!! – That's you & me, folks!!!

I find it vastly amusing how the left twists "the deficit" as if it were only Reagan and Bush, and not Congress who has done most of this the past 20+ years, and no mention of any Democrat president, as though their hands have been clean also…. And the America haters comment…jeez, I'd like to keep America for American citizens, regardless of color, creed, etc…..and great, you brought up color (as if it matters to the rest of us), because that's the best thing liberals can do, scream racism when they can't argue their point logically….dunce!
Arrested, Nellie???
No darlin', that shouldn't be a real big issue for you. You might however, be ready to be asked to move toward the rear of the bus. If you happen to have any headgear, or maybe a heavy coat I'd suggest you put them on. As you hit the ground you should consider yourself lucky because there are a few folks near the front of the bus who just may well be discharged near FBI headquarters.
Can anyone remember that Hitler took years forming and strengthening his Nazi party? How many years did it take before the rest of the world discovered the deeds that occurred?
Mugging of the media, discrediting those who have opposing views, rigging votes(remember MN?), creating more dependence upon the government, ignoring the public's opinion upon furthering government control, etc.
These are but the building blocks of this administration to push their agenda.
Barney Frank is a liberal democrat- go ahead, check it yourself- it's true. HE was chairman of banking and finance comittee that regulates banks and lending- not Bush, Chaney Ronald Reagan, or Rush Limbaugh when standards were lowered to let people borrow money they couldn't repay. The seperation of powers act, makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the executive branch to interfere in Frank's job. Frank- (a liberal democrat) had more to do with Fanny May and Freddie Mac's lending standards that started this whole collapse, than any other human beings on the planet- again- check it yourself- it's true. This is NOT an opinion.
The bill to spend all those trillions has names on it you idiot- check to see who signed it- Overwhelmingly Democrat- this is no opinion- it's fact. While both parties have to accept some blame- ONE party has been unwilling to accept ANY- go ahead guess…
It would be to your advantage to stay out of politics if you don't know what you're talking about, but on the other hand, it tickles me to see liberals demonstrate their very own stupidity. So, rave on bone head!
These articles need to be proofread, especially the headline. He also needs to have an explanatory introduction paragraph telling the background on the story and why it's not legally ok for the NEA to be involved as an Obama propaganda tool.
StopConRhetoric – you lose see Godwin's Law
Guys and gals, the most disturbing thing about this article is the reminder of what they are trying to turn 9/11 into. These pansy artsy types are always going to be liberal, who f**king cares? The real issue is that they are making an effort to remove the horrible reminders of the terrorist attack on 9/11 that we all MUST remember…they want to first, marginalize it, and secondly, take it over as the BS 'day of service'. What Obama and other libs neglect to realize is that so many of the leftists are lazy, punk kids (if they're not millionaires/Hollywood types who 'hate capitalism', that is). We must keep that day as our nations day, not the fantasy world of the idiot left. And I do not mean Democrats, I mean liberal douchebags. They want to make 9/11 a freakin' liberal holiday for God's sake. We must prevent this folks, it is anti-American.
Ya ain't seen nothin' yet. Give this jackass enough rope and resist him enough and I'm sure we will see Der Fuhrer.
Enter text right here!In my town in the People's Republic of New Jersey, the 80% Dem majority cares more about gay marriage than they do about the Second Amendment. My Town Hall does not fly the American flag, except on holidays, and does not display ANY Christmas (or other) holiday displays. If you want your towns to become like that, keep voting Dem.
<Sarcasm>
And I have the utmost confidence that the fine members of "Law Enforcement" will take all appropriate actions in this incident.
</Sarcasm>
Gotta have conscience to feel shame.
Van, is that you ? Now don't go getting all wee-wee'd up in here!
You s
They're after the power they will get from health care reform and cap and trade. Power corrupts.
"man's will is not free"
Indeed. Looks like you agree with the Christians. Read Romans 3.
The people who are Obamatrons are so frustrating because no matter how clear your argument, they will not be swayed by truth.
Atlas Shrugged. So did I. Ayn Rand = meh.
I know "real" history was not taught to our youth. Those that favor this Administration should be aware that Hitler and Stalin were once loved too.
Politicians create problems so they can turn around and use them to campaign for what they really want. That's exactly what the Democrats did. They created this mess so they could push their gov't health care, global warming, take over of car companies and banks, etc. Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Nancey Pelosi belong in jail.
WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEN. We cannot let them pass this health care bill.
I was stupid enough to vote, usually, straight tickets for the Illiberals and Regressives (DemoCretins) for most of my adult life. I'm 57. They quit me about 17–18 years ago, after I read the Communist Manifesto. I've already asked God's forgiveness–I hope those behind me will forgive me. I was a union member most of that time and was always told: "They're for the working man." "Kinda pointless to use the force of gov't to steal from the homeless, n'est pas? These people have always been this way–they're just finally unconscionable and arrogant that they don't feel they need to hide their evil ways any longer.
OBAMA = One Bad Ass Mess for America!
Nazi Germany Redux
At least now you have a Republican Governor.
Yet another case (Rock the Vote) of a group being "tax free" and partisan…. no different than MediaMatters, ACORN, etc.. Sure, its fine to have a drive to "get out the vote" – just don't claim to be non-partisan when everything is slanted toward a single party.
Love your comment that Conservatives hate everything about America – then you list "goverment, colleges, gays, minorities, courts, Muslims and on and on." Only would a Liberal describe America in those terms. To sane citizens America still means freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Only to a whacked out liberal does America mean left leaning institutions and individuals. Laughable. Please keep typing in ALL CAPS when you are really upset. it makes you sound so much more serious and informed.
If Obama wants to call me a 'teabag' or if ex-president Clinton (who I used to like) wants to refer to me in the disgusting name of 'teabagger' then I am proud to be one. In 1773, King George III and his government looked to taxing the American colonies as a way of recouping their war costs and control the colonies who were becoming increasingly independent. In 2009, the Democrats and Obama are looking to control their power and 1/6th of the countries wealth by socializing our health care and pushing through a global warming con on the American people at a cost that Americans cannot afford. As our ancestors did, we must do. We must stand up to this tyranny.
"The idiocy and total lack of common sense among the juvenile Con crowd makes me shake my head in wonder…And realize that COns hate everything about America…They hate our government, our colleges, gays, minorities, our Courts, muslims and on and on…. "
If one were to look at the above paragraph and substitute the word Liberal for 'Con,' the first two sentences would be a fairly accurate description of your bunch, as far as it goes. As far as the third sentence is concerned, you folks love Big Government, love the colleges, love the gays, love all minorities, love corrupt judges, truly love muslims, and absolutely despise freedom, liberty, justice, and Conservatives. We actually need a super-sized McCarthy is finish the job of locating all of the traitors in this nation, a category you likely fit in. I suggest you cease your vitriol and name-calling and take a good look at yourself because you remind me of an ignorant, self-righteous boob who cars jacked up on his lawn. Why don't you try to find a worthwhile hobby or, better yet, go get a real job.
Many informed people here. go to youtube and do a search on " fall of the republic." Some may view as radical, but it shows how the world order is working….in pieces. Czars in the white house, leftists, race baiters, the more you are a freak "we love you" types, and who do they think they are? Like the regular workers who give so much to the people with their hands out will not get tired of this?
The hollywood types that always spew their anti war/violence BS are usually the first ones making the violent type movies. A vote is the most powerful tool a citizen has. Use it wisely next time ( you Obama voters) and get these asshats out of office.
Note that the mainstream media has not reported AT ALL on this story? Why? Because the Democrat party, the three major networks – ABC, CBS, ABC, Time, Hollywood, New York Times and Washington Post make up one seamless whole. What to do? AVOID AVOID AVOID these news and entertainment sources completely. No Hollywood movies, and no network television etc. No Hollywood films, no TV shows – none – unless you want to be infected by MSM brainwashing. Liberals are not born as idiots, they are made that way through the brainwashing of the mainstream media. So, if you want stories like this in the mainstream media, then make the alternative media the NEW mainstream media. And for God's sake, write your representatives, go to tea parties, talk to your neighbors – act now or lose everything!
Don't woryy – this guy is actually a conservative, looking to see if the readers are on the ball.
Wow. I know Phil Martin. BIG Obama supporter and even worked a ton to get out the vote. He is a former corps member and team leader for AmeriCorps*NCCC and I am sure he was active in getting them involved.
You can see what he is about here:

Do your research and you will find that the Nazi party stood for National Socialism. Socialism is a product of the political left. You have been taught that it was born of the political right by people who don't want to (and won't) admit the truth about Facism – it is born of the same impulses that guided past presidents Wilson, Roosevelt (FDR), and Johnson – and is now embraced by president Obama. John Kennedy predicted that our Republic would never be destroyed from outside, but from within, and that is what is happening.
Facism is the use of government to control the masses in such a way as to make them dependent on that very government so that the government is supreme, and by association, its leaders are also supreme. Power is what drives those who want this type of government. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at how huge and controlliong the federal government has become.
OBAMA = One Big Ass Mess for America…
… sounds better. "Bad Ass" I would use to describe something good.
As a lie-pimping right-wing shill and avowed enemy of American artists, Courrielche continues his crusade. If you want to use the American creative community to stir up a cold civil war, Mr. Courrielche, be careful what you wish for.
Or facts
Sure sounds like were back to bashing Bush, oh sorry ,were talking about Oboma. This moron forgets how well this country did back then (Reagan) after Carter did the same as this Current clueless inexperienced person you placed in the white house is doing. Go ahead, he inherited this debt. Nice try SCR but your the hater, most likely you were one of those jerks that spit on me and called me baby killer when I returned from Vietnam defending their freedoms. OH sorry, I should say doing my tour in the USMC, terrorizing woman and children in the dead of night. When I was sworn in I pledged to defend this Country from foreign and domestic enemy's, looks like you could fit into the domestic ones.
I am a 53 y/o, finally graduating from the men in sex genetalia only crowd that is going to college.
NO FEAR MY ARSE
I have been told to just die so you emasculated downright feminized 25/30 y/o pussies followed by the I didn't learn shitwe in K-12 indoctrinated cellless cerebellum crowd so socialism can take over. In my 6 year experience you do not have a clue what the real world is.. Learn some history, grow some testicales and get out of the lemming pack JUNIOR. Let me pass on what I'm told by your rgeneration every time I back their factless pantywaste pampers wearing arses into a corner.
GROW UP
I find it immensely entertaining and ironic that all the folks supporting the White House – you know, the "non-profit" groups with no political biases or liberal agenda activities (wink, wink), the mass media with no liberal political agenda (nudge, nudge) and all the "independent and cutting edge" artists who are oh-so articulate and chic/intellectual/hip and could NEVER allow themselves to be corrupted or swayed to support Obama's Marxist propaganda- ALL of them will be losing more of their liberty (forced to submit their healthcare options/choices to the Feds), losing their property (via increased taxes), and will pay more for their electricity, heating oil, propane and gasoline (Cap and Trade) along with THE REST OF US normal Americans. How STUPID is that, or should I say – how stupid are THEY? Imagine, supporting an agenda that will diminish your quality of life and the quality of life of your children and grandchildren and generations to come after that.
Good luck with all of that.
[...] the unprecedented, unbelievable, thuggish 5-year-retroactive purge of the federal bureaucracy, (and other abuses of power, and the upcoming “climate change” treaty that seems one million times more nefarious [...]

"Mr. Costello, we see that you've been voting republican all your life so we are going to refuse your hip replacement under national security concerns….."
See?
I am right there beside you looking for that cliff…….have felt that way for about 6 months.
OK, I will….
IT'S A COVER UP!!!

Because they're paid to stir up trouble by their paymasters. They are not paid to think. In fact, they are picked to fulfill the job they have because they DON'T think for themselves.
OK, I'll step in here…..
I MEAN DEMOCRATS!
Anyone who would BE a democrat these days is a FELLOW TRAVELLER.
Yes, odd how the first comment with an insult (retards) comes from the left…

Well, you Dems wanted "CHANGE"…so quit complaining!
Amen. Those with narcississtic personality disorders are unable to empathize. It is always about them. BOH clearly has no conscience. Remember his initial actions at the press conference regarding the shooting at Fort Hood? I originally thought maybe he hadn't been told about the tragedy because no human could react in such a cavalier fashion. Absolutely no empathy and no conscience.
They are robots. Just flip the on switch and they do as they are told.
bugglemuck this crooked bogus bama adminstration as in stop the illegal activites and throw the ash wholes in jail.
Your membership in the top 5% bracket must be from the inheritance you got from mommy and daddy.
i am a conservative and I love my country. I feel fortunate that I was born in a country that allows me to disagree with my government and speak my own opinions.
I support marriage or gays, I have minority races in my family and minority friends. You are the one bringing up gender preference and race. Stay on message.
I only oppose my government when they do not defend my rights as defined in the constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is the purpose of the federal government. I don't want my government to give me health insurance or health care, bail me out of a mortgage, pay my credit card bill, give me $ to buy a new car or find me a job. The American people are resilient an proud when allowed to live freely. Give them everything and they become slaves of the government.
The Patriots proudly sang "Yankee Doodle", which the Brits had written in mockery of us hick Colonials….
isn't it fun when your guy is in control and you can spend other people's money?
"the American creative community" is already engaged in a cold civil war…. and it's on the bad guys' side.
Pissed off this little scam got found out, Lenny?
Actually Im in favor of propaganda, the masses are asses and need all the guidance they can get! Hey they used it during WW2 all the time, all of the sudden it's not cool anymore with Vietnam, bring back the good old days! Have some propaganda saying welfare is bad and to work so your country is stronger, sound good?!
This is one of the most cluttered, vacuous, unclear articles I have ever read. Is it an attack?
Where's the birthcertificate?
Well Reagan won the cold war and letf the country in good shape. Obama thinks there is trickle up economics and it's not working to help the economy but thats what Obama wants is crisis to push more and more Gov spending till it goes under and he'll declare an economic emergancy requiring communisim immediatly as the only response for such a massive crisis .
Obama thinks there is trickle up economics is a plan and it's not working to help the economy but thats what Obama wants is crisis to push more and more Gov spending till it goes under and he'll declare an economic emergancy requiring communisim immediatly (it won't be called that) as the only response for such a massive crisis .
I'm about your age and for so many years I did not respect my elders until I grew older realizing how silly I was ignoring the wisdom of age which can only be learned by living long enough to know the difference.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm BFHO. Throwing up in my mouth.
Where are all the trolls?? It's weird, but I haven't seen any around. mmmm mmmmm mmmm Barack Hussein Obama mmmm mmm mmmm
Just one thing idiot. The disparity in incomes grew at the greatest pace during Clinton/Gore. While we are at it Clinton/Gore used no bid contracts with Haliburton as did other administrations BECAUSE IT WAS A WAR IDIOT!! This was in a piece on NPR on Cheney, Not exactly a right wing organization.

Sorry, this got on the wrong reply. Was intended for the guy talking about Reagan and Bush

StopConRhetoric Here we go. If one doesn't have an advanced degree, he/she is a "nobody" according to elitists. I don't have a degree, am not in the top 5% of anything but am far better educated than those who look down on people who don't have degrees. I didn't have welfare like you when I grew up and couldn't wait til I was 17 to join the Navy which became a lifesaver for my entire family. I served 21 honorable years, retired and served 21 more years working for a City Civil Service. I circumnavigated the globe 4 times aboard Navy Man O Wars and crossed the equator twice at the International Date Line Becoming a double golden shellback. My travels make me far more intelligent than you tho I don't make the money you claim. You should support Obamas redistribution of the wealth by taking your next 3 annual salaries and donate them to the local "Cabrini Green" project fund. That will give them an extra check each month so maybe the administration will not raise my taxes to give lazy bums a benefit that I have worked all my life to secure. G'day
Shocking! Appalling! Someone in Obama's administration not telling the truth, not being transparent. Oh, dear!
Is it time to start national tax resistance, until we can toss these bums out in 2010 and 2012?
I SMELL ANOTHER SCANDAL, LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES
Re-read it. Then realize that the very government that Rand depicted, is the very government we have today.
Dang Mel Mack I thought I was the only one who grew up without welfare.
Felt it was my duty to serve in the U.S. Military and work like a turk for every dime
I had in my jeans.Way to go my friend thanks for your service,thanks for your life.
Hey Barry Hussein "Kiss my Grit's". You are a pathetic joke as a man and as a King
Your post makes the most sense in the crowd. Long ago, before health care, food stamps, and handouts, people made their own way in the world and became stronger and happier for it. Friends and relatives banded together to help each other instead of turning their backs and waiting for the Feds to keep people going. Times were difficult but I think they were happier. No one had "health care". They took care of themselves and each other. People didn't live on junk food so there were very few overweight people.
Isn't Elizabeth Stark the wife of Fortney Pete Stark? That vile piece of trash that's been a member of congress since before Nixon was elected.
So if I understand this correctly, Lord Barry of Kenya appointed a liar, who lied to us. MSM still quiet. Did I miss anything?
I am 22 year old independent and strongly OPPOSE national health care. America has some of the best healthcare for a reason… It's not socialized! I recently had ACL replacement surgery. With NHC, the government will determine what surgery is necessary. Heck, I would still be waiting to see a doctor regarding my knee. The government needs to stay out of our bodies. Moreover, I don't want my future children and grandchildren to pay for such lunacy.
One more thing… WHY IS CONGRESS NOT REQUIRED TO USE THE SAME PLAN AS THE REST OF US!?
OBAMA = One Big Ass Mistake America
What, no one told these hope and change youngsters that they would need to PAY for this health reform? Ooops…
obama corruption – naaaaa
cant happen, cuz that would be racist
more proof of the ignorance of the obozo juvenile delinquent brigade
My pops used to call them "the rent-a-mob". Same people, different protest.
LOCK N LOAD
What it all boils down to is…. was Timothy McVeigh ahead of his time?
…They hate our government, our colleges, gays, minorities, our Courts, muslims and on and on….
So, basically they hate everything that is wrong with America. Man that really sucks.
Remember the movie "Soylent Green"?
Most conservatives make more sense and are able to explain themselves a little more clearly.
And they don't ramble, rambling is more in the pervue of the liberals.
Or, a lot of very hard work and determination. Sacrifices when it wasn't convenient, and then some snot comes along and thinks was a gift? That's the liberal pattern, just ask any Kennedy. The conservative pattern is hard work to rise above adversity. Ask Justice Clarence Thomas.
The policies of the Sotoro administration are Communist policies and will destroy this country! The Deathcare bill him and his acolytes are attempting to choke the American people with is really a poisoned spike being driven into the heart of this country! This country has never been so divided as it is now! The Great Divider definitely has a legacy which will probably end in another Civil War! In the end the real truth is that Boma sux!
Two legs bad, four legs good.
(Animal Farm)
We don't want to eat this scrambled egg.
It won't taste good going down, and it won't settle well in the stomach.
Long before they got elected. And they can't see why they should stop now.
I think some are realizing, that's why the tea parties and marches in DC.
But they have us around the throat and its pretty hard to get any leverage with the next election so far off.
It is amazing that the 60's gave us exactly what we were rebelling against – big Government. Most of us grew up and realized that the "Liberal" values of the 60's were quite conservative. Some never grew up, they just got older and when they couldn't be students anymore, they became teachers. The kids today listen to the crap they put out and think they know what the 60's were about.
When we were young we had no power but made a lot of noise and man did we hate government. The only people that took radicals seriously back then were the radicals themselves. They were amusing but nobody took them seriously. Now we are older and much wiser but we are at fault for not watching what was being taught in our schools and guilty of voting our beliefs even when it meant voting for a Ross Perot and in doing so electing a Bill Clinton. Those days are over and if the country survives, it will be a very long time before we forget again. And if we don't, just read your history. He first thing the socialists do when they take over is purge the college professors, the journalists and the lawyers. Why? Because the professors and journalists are a real threat when it doesn't work and the lawyers, well they earned it.
bruce1953 said, "This is the generation that came out of the peaceniks and now they have power."
I agree! "Yesterday's flower children are today's blooming idiots", and suffer from 'fetal drug & alcohol syndrome', and who knows what else, after rolling in the mud and muck at Woodstock and roaming the streets of Haight Ashbury. Take a long look at the make up of SFran. It has never recovered. Those who didn't die from drugs and stupidity, went into journalism, universities and colleges and are now running the country.
God, does the lying and deceit and manipulation never end with this administration? This is getting to be totally out of control and something has to be done about it. Every newspaper should have this on their front pages to SHAME the IDIOTS in the White House into better ethics and behaviour. They are all ethically challenged and morally bankrupt. Effing Freaks!
All this correspondence (Yosi Sargent, etc.) reads like comic book dialogue. Like the hypnotized appearance and performances of the gradeschool children being requested to memorize and perform "hail Obama" songs and such, all of this documented interaction from and with Yosi Sergant sounds as if it's been copied out of comic book dialogue boxes: highly hypnotized, highly theatrical, highly insincere yet parroted back and forth between sender and recipient. Like they're all hypnotized.
Folks, remember several weeks ago when the TV networks inserted the "volunteering" message from the White House into their programming? Well it looks like many major companies are now on board with this concept. Yesterday, I and others, received emails from our corporate public relations office about "volunteering". Coincidentally Michelle Obama and Joan Biden were at an event tied to these "volunteer" organizations yesterday as well. Below is the email I received:
Here's the email:
Dear Sam,

it is what they do – I guess they should stick to what they`re good at, wait, what are they good at? oh yeah – communism.
Nothing will be done to these people. The AG is busy looking into the Bush administration.
Thank you Paul, turning Sept.11 into a 'national day of comunity BS' is not only shameful and disrespectful to an extreme, it is sinister. Why would would we want Sept.11 to be a day for anything other than honoring our Countrymen who died that horrible day?
Do we have plans for pearl harbor day? We know Obama is quite uncomfortable with the image of the Japanese surrender…..he said so. Punk.
THIS IS WHY NOBAMA IS GOING TO WIPE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. NOBAMA HAS THE LOWEST POLLS OF ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY AT THIS TIME AND THEY HAVE A COMPLETE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY AND THE DEMOCRATS KNOW THEY PICKED A BOOB, SIGNS OF REMORSE EVERYWHERE. IT IS FUNNY. I WENT THRU THE SAME THING IN NOVEMBER WITH JIMMAH CARTER VOTERS, IT IS GOING TO GET UGLY AS LONG AS THIS GUY KEEPS IGNORING THE UNEMPLOYED AND THE MILITARY TROOPS DYING FOR US IN AFGHANISTAN. MANY MANY PEOPLE WANT THEIR VOTES BACK……….HISTORY IS BEING MADE IN OUR FACES.
Typical brainwashed,public school educated,guilt ridden, white fool. We have to get rid of them too.
Has it ever occurred to you to try use a little analytical thinking and try to understand the roots of these problems? No, I suppose not. It's so much easier to just jump on a simplistic view based on emotions and start calling people names. Another fine example of what's being churned out in liberal schools. Why hold an intelligent arguement when you can go straight to screaming and name calling?
I am just as worried about Obama's plans as anyone else, but let’s make sure that the accusations we make are correct. Communists are extreme leftist, Nazi's are extreme rightist. Calling someone a leftist Nazi is a contradiction in terms.
Says it all. irishj1, you captured the problem in one simply stated, accurate and nutshell paragraph. Now tell us how to fix it.
nuf said….I agree.
Young man you need to read true history and leave the "dumb" talking points alone. Do you know how foolish you sound with your mantra? Jobs and job losses happened thanks in part to US laws passed in 70's that forced manufacturers to seek friendly climates to do businesses in, labor unions that hampered production and growth, and the "entitlement" sector of society that finds it easier to sit on their backsides and collect a check every month, as opposed to going out and doing an honest days worth of work. Do your research and you'll find out just how much money alone has been spent over the past 40-50 years on wasteful government entitlement programs. Michael Savage was certainly right when he said, "liberalism is a mental disorder."
My Dad being a concentration camp survivor described to me a time that seems to be reminiscent of the US today under the imam resident in the white house and his co conspirators in our congress.
WHOA NELLIE–"So glad to be HANGING with the cool kids." Now THAT'S an idea, as long as you don't use the "we-get-arrested" N word–NOOSE.
Hate to bust your bubble, Kruby old chap, but the National Socialist Workers (NAZI) was a socialist (read that left wing) movement. Communism is international socialism while Fascism is national socialism. The main difference is the approach to the socialization of the means of production and expectation of the role of the nation state. In Communism, nation states were supposed to disolve into a global soviet while in Fascism the nations states remain but each is fully socialized. As for the means of production, in Communisim the state owns all productive capacity while in Fascism the state is the only shareholder in the means of production.
As for the Gas Chambers, you will just have to give them time. Remember in the 20th century the 100 to 200 million (depending on whose numbers you believe) innocent people slaughtered by their own governments were killed by Communist socialists, Fascist socialists, or Islamists. The "right" has none of that blood on its hands.
What can be done when the fox is guarding the hen house?
"Who is John Galt?" and it tears my heart out to have to ask it in this country at this time.
LMAO! Are you serious? Too funny..
Well you all voted this guy and his corruptors into office, now take your medicine.
Yesterdays Flower Children are today's "by any means necessary" violence inciting thugs and thieves.
I am pretty sure this isn't what the 60s were going for…
The White Outhouse seems to be not only worshipping Mao but Goebels propaganda tactics as well Are Mustaches next ?????….VOTE EM ALL OUT!!!!
Actually they make Jammmah Cawtah lok good!!!! Wild Wabbit and all…..
Obama's father was a Marxist. The turd never drops far from the A-hole. Flush him, Now!
These radical lefties are completely unethical and lie about everything. They should be booted out of office as rapidly as possible. Everything they say should be interpreted 180 degrees to the opposite. These are disgusting losers who want to socialize America, redistribute income to the mooches and parasites who support them & are wrong on nearly every issue from cap & trade to the economy to Medicare to foreign policy. Worst of all they detest capitalism and business unless it's their sordid non profit political scams and support groups. None of these radicals have ever run a business or created a single real job. In fact they do the opposite every measure they support destroys productivity & discourages real investment and job creation.
You are right on with this post. The left tries to discredit the traditional, common-sense value people in our Country and has the main stream media to support their agenda. That is what has been so good about the tea party's and conservative blogs and Fox TV. There probably are a majority of people that believe in God, normal marriage between a man and a woman, the sanctity of life, etc., but are too busy going to work, raising their kids, etc. that they aren't vocal or heard of in the main stream media. Hopefully, come 2010 elections, they will be able to be heard.
The sad part of all this with the left (esp. this administration) is that every bill they pass doesn't work as intend, yet they come out and say, "We didn't anticipate things to be this bad." This happens too often that there's only two possible explanations for this phenomenon: our friends on the left are either stupid or liars. Either way, they should never be allowed into power, and I'm appalled that they are allowed to stay in office as long as they have.
Does a gov't employee really use the phrase "cool kids" in official e-mails this has to be a joke right ?
its called obama law – due anything to hide from America people the true nature of obama agenda
