BF2S Forums The Propaganda Machine has no limits.

Put on the tin foil hats cause it conspiracy time!  No?  Well, I'll wear one -it's warm and insulates my bald head...

Meet Ellie Light.

Apparently this 'person' has been getting identical letters to the editor published across the nation basically blowing the Prez.  Not one or two papers, but 42.  'She' has listed several different hometowns with respect to the print locations.  From San Fran to Philadelphia her letter has been published.   

So is she just an overzealous Obamite with nothing better to do?  Or is there perhaps a bit more politics at work?

One Theory is that this is a pr firm pumping health care.  If so, I wonder who they were hired by?  Hmmmm. 

Could it be possible that the news agencies were in conspiracy?  Nah...  Too many low paid ed's with a lot to gain for keeping journalistic integrity alive.  But if subscriptions are tanking - I've heard newspaper bailouts talked about before.  Can't very well write for a paper that is no longer in circulation.  Play ball just like the banks were forced into?

I think this is a Rhambo/Gibbs orchestration..  Guy mailed a dead fish to a political opponent.  Having his minions send out a letter is a cake walk compared to that.  Knowing how much the big O wants "free" health care for all, and watching how poll numbers are in a DNR state, why not take a shot at it?  It isn't like this administration has been caught lying to the public before, actually it's quite the norm.  So if this is linked be the WH... What then?  The admin just tried to dupe America.  Again.  A new low for the administration.  Honestly, this type of propaganda reminds me of Cuba or the USSR.

"Ellie" did share correspondence via e-mails denying any political backgrounds (linked above).  Below is the original propaganda.

A year ago, if we had read in the paper that employers were hiring again, health care legislation was proceeding without a bump, and Afghanistan was a nice place to take your kids, we would have known we were being lied to. We recognized that the problems Barack Obama inherited wouldn’t go away overnight.

During his campaign, Obama clearly said that an economy that took eight years to break couldn’t be fixed in a year, that Afghanistan was a graveyard of empires, and would not be an easy venture for us.

He didn’t feed us happy-talk. He never said America could solve our health care, economic and security problems without raising the deficit. He talked of hard choices, of government taking painful and contentious first steps toward fixing problems that can’t be left for another day.

After Obama’s election, we seemed to grasp this. We understood that companies would be happy to squeeze more work out of frightened employees, and would be slow to hire; that the banks that had extorted us out of billions of dollars, were lying when they said they would share their recovery; and that a national consensus on health care would not come easily. Candidate Obama never claimed that his proposed solutions would work flawlessly right out of the box, and we respected him for that.

Today the president is being attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off in the morning. He never made such a promise. Governing is hard work, and a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.

And I'd like to address this piece of..  Opening, I'm telling the truth cause it didn't go my way and in my perfect world we'd have all those things (obama's ideology).  Inherited Overnight?  Well I guess he was a senator for a day or two but hell who's keeping track.  But Bush did it.

Actually the big O's campaign was to be out of Iraq and Afghanistan with gitmo closed.  He had the change we needed and was full of happy talk -transparency, accountability, fiscal responsibility....All lies.  And the same public that ate it up was spoon fed 'ellie light'.  And more blaming Bush.

Demonizing corporations (whilst they are powerless to fight back) and arm twisting the banks into submission -typical ob maneuvers.  Capitalism is evil.  But remember the 'polls'?  Every one wanted health care?  No, everyone was fear mongered like the stimulus bill.  "Quick before they figure out what you're up to" -right?  Or what was it Rham said?  Never let a crisis go to waste?  Obama had plans?  No he didn't.  I didn't see the first one.  We respected him for jamming legislation through with out even a chance to review it?  Being attacked for not being able to fix it overnight?  He's the one who said "we're back from the edge."  He's the one who said "unemployment won't go over 8%."  He is being attacked because he's a fucking snake oil salesman.  His shit doesn't work and people are starting to realize it.

What did Pelosi call the 'tea party march' -astroturfers?   Please Nan, this is just sad.  Did Boxer help you with this letter?  Conflicting botox appointments prevented it?  2010 baby.  2010.

Welp, done with dinner and I need the foil for the leftovers.
