Obama To Unleash "Truth Teams" To Counter Negative Coverage...

[Uncensored2008]

Do you miss Jimmy?

He shouldn't, Jimmy's clone is in office as we speak.

Yore a phunny pup. Yes I am. I've had 4 smokes. 4 cups of coffee and 2 advils today so far. I plan on have more later. Why is that a problem for you?

Just exploring the reasons why simple concepts appear impossible for you to grasp.

Who is the the party Commandants? What party?

What party do you unquestioningly serve? Do you recognize the legitimacy of any party other than the Glorious Peoples Democrats?

Your link doesn't explain how in passing the health care reform bill the federal government is now controlling one sixth of the means of production in the country?

Put the crack pipe down, you've had enough.

What negative coverage? Just about the entire MSM licks his boots on a daily basis. And if he's calling them "Truth Teams", you know they're really just Lie Teams. Oh well, here come the Brown Shirts anyway. Isn't 'Hope & Change' fun?

The Obama campaign is to “educate” and deploy what it describes as “truth teams” to ensure that any attacks on the president’s record are feverishly countered in the run up to the general election.

ABC News reports that teams of Obamanoids will be launched initially in 13 “swing states,” including Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.

“The goal is to ensure that when Republicans attack President Obama’s record, grassroots supporters can take ownership of the campaign and share the facts with the undecided voters in their lives,” the campaign said in a statement.

“If the other guys are going to run a campaign based on misrepresenting the president’s record – and their own – we have two options: sit back and let these lies go unchallenged, or fight back with the truth,” deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in an email. ”We’re fighting back.”

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski issued a response to the news, noting “The Obama campaign is organizing propaganda teams to deceive voters because Americans are catching onto the reality that Obama’s record doesn’t match his rhetoric.”

“How else will they mask the broken promises like introducing another trillion dollar deficit or the fact that the president continues to recycle the same proposals without ever seeing results?” Kukowski told ABC News in an email.

This is not the first time the Obama campaign has deployed squads of jacked up supporters in such a way. In 2008, Obama’s “Fight the Smears” campaign involved more than 1 million supporters in “public education” roles.

One “Obama truth squad” in Missouri vowed to arrest anyone telling ‘lies’ about Obama, and acted to otherwise intimidate anyone criticizing him or his policies.

Obama also made use of incredibly Orwellian sounding “truth squads” to aid in flagging up and denouncing opponents of his health care plan in 2009. The Obama campaign asked supporters to report any negative press or emails to the White House.

"Truth squads" - the Republicans are just upset because they didn't think of it first, but then again, the "truth" has always been an "Orwellian" concept" for Republicans!

How else could you explain why Mitt Romney, now touting himself as a Michigan native-son, is currently "dancing on the head of a pin" trying explain why his "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" article in the NY Times 4 years ago, doesn't mean now what he meant then?

With Romney, Santorum and Gingrich, the Obama forces might as well stay at home - these candidates are far more that capable of inflicting more political damage on themselves and the Republican Party's chances on November 6th than an army of Democratic "trurth squads" ever could!

Do you see the lengths Obama Fluffers will go to defend him?

I don't think we've even scratched the surface.

Obamabots attacking people on the street to ensure loyalty isn't all that far fetched.

We have the Truthiness Squads already. Wouldn't take much to turn them violent.

Just exploring the reasons why simple concepts appear impossible for you to grasp.

Got it. You still can't back up your statement so of course you have to divert from that fact.

Who is the the party Commandants? What party?

What party do you unquestioningly serve? Do you recognize the legitimacy of any party other than the Glorious Peoples Democrats?

It's quite aparent that no answer will satisfy as you have predetemined my party affiliation.

Your link doesn't explain how in passing the health care reform bill the federal government is now controlling one sixth of the means of production in the country?

Put the crack pipe down, you've had enough.

Freebase is fine, if you can afford it. I however can't. But I still don't see an answer to the question, but to be fair I don't expect an honest one.

Drug addicts are typically distrustful of others.

And they have frequent flights of fancy, as well. I for one am never surprised when yet another progressive steps up and admits they use illegal drugs.

Anyone not able to grasp how Obamacare places one sixth of the economy under control of the state is assuredly on drugs.

I can't say they are addicts, though. They might be, but I can't definitively say....

Except "sixth of the means of production under control of the state" (which is what you earlier claimed) is not qutie the same as "Obamacare places one sixth of the economy under control of the state"

The first one is a complete falsehood. And the second could only be true if you consider regulations as control.

But I do appriciate how you and picklegirl continue to stoop to inane insults.

Yes I'm on drugs right now. I just got some nicotine and I'm having a cup of coffee.

Medical Tourists: United States

A McKinsey and Co. report from 2008 found that a plurality of an estimated 60,000 to 85,000 medical tourists were traveling to the United States for the purpose of receiving in-patient medical care; the same McKinsey study estimated that 750,000 American medical tourists traveled from the United States to other countries in 2007 (up from 500,000 in 2006).

A healthcare system that sees a 10:1 outflow of American citizens seeking medical proceedures in other countries because they can't afford the costs at home says it all.

My criticism of Obamacare is that in its misguided attempt to appease the "conservatives," it didn't go far enough.

Virtually every other modern nation nation in the world has a universal healthcare system, financed through general tax revenue,
operates at a fraction of the current cost and
is not held hostage by private special interest groups!

How ironic - virtually all the nations on the above list would be considered "socialist" by US standards and yet all provide comprehensive public healthcare systems at substantilly less than their American counterpart, that has approximately 50 million of its citizens uninsured.

That must be why, when they need state of the art treatment, people from around the world come to the US for their medical care.
