Obama Adds Online "TZAR" to His White House Team

[The T]

Why not call it what it is, the "Ministry of Propaganda"? How much is this crap going to cost Americans? At a time when even democrats agree to cost-cutting measures in the administration the socialist president creates a ministry of propaganda and nobody seems to care.

Did you care when Bush had a Ministry of Propaganda?

He didn't...

A candidate is hiring media consultants to counter negatives? Next thing you know, they'll be having fundraisers.

Except for all of the pre-prepped news packages and hiring fake "reporters" to plant in the press pool.

And where are the links showing Bush hired somebody on the White House Payroll to trawl through the internets playing Truth Police?

If you’re going to post something online about Obama that isn’t true, Lee is going to be the one to handle you.

Presumably in an airport mens room in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Bush put political operatives on government payroll as well. See Rove, Karl.

If you followed the chain of discussion, it was about media manipulation by the Bush administration, not comparing the job to this position.

Every president does that.

When has any president ever used federal money to fund a campaign office for publishing party propaganda?

This tells me that the admin is insecure and afraid.

You're describing incontinence, shaman. I'm talking about insecurities. Let's go ahead and throw incompetence in there too so that way we'll have everything covered.

All of them since Hoover. See White House Press Secretary.

Sorry, but we aren't talking about the Whitehouse press secretary. We're talking about hiring dozens of people and spending millions of dollars to attack anyone who criticizes the president.

I can't imagine anything more fascist.
