EXPLOSIVE NEW AUDIO Reveals White House Using NEA to Push Partisan Agenda

[oreo]

Why is this "EXPLOSIVE" again?

In dictatorships--pictures of the dictator are strung about everywhere. Also is this has anything to do with Hollywood?---we now know why 98 MILLION of our tax dollars were stuck in the so-called economic stimulus bill for HOLLYWOOD.

We're clear that you believe Crony Capitalism and the WH pushing partisan agendas is okay. That's what you have admitted to, and you've used the age-old excuse that 'other administrations have done it!' At least I know where you're coming from. What's sad is that you're not the only one who believes that.

We would also have to agree that national service, health, education, and the environment are purely "partisan" issues, and not things the republicans would ever be a part of. Does that pretty well sum it up?

I'm not really up on what the Republican Party is "part of," but I believe you are incorrect. For instance, the EPA was started by a Republican. George W. Bush pushed for the No Child Left Behind initiative. The Republican Party believes in healthcare reform, but believes that if not done correctly, it will result in inefficiencies and cost overruns like Medicare, for example. As far as national service goes, I don't believe they want to force anyone to give of their time against their will. Again, you'll have to talk to a Republican about this. Better yet, use the internet to get your answers. You certainly seem to have a lot to learn. Good luck.

Not even a nice try Sparky. You're the one who claimed that national service, health, education, and the environment are partisan issues after I pointed out that the arts are frequently (historically even) employed to raise awareness of what an administration considers important issues. Raising awareness is not force. I think the fah fah right will have to buy a few more balls from the carny and try again another day on some other fake outrage.

You dismantled the empty rhetoric of that previous poster quite well!

Wish in one hand...

gosh, I hope you didn't get any of that ON you.

Because we are no longer using government money to preach abstinence?

Good one.

Got to love those guidelines and standards
YouTube - Stimulas money goes to porn

I hope you have better evidence of this than some YouTube video?

Yeah , Why would a Congressman say such a thing.
Florida Congressman: Stimulus Bill Is Funding Porn - HUMAN EVENTS

$50,000 to the Frameline film house to screen Thundercrack, which Frameline describes as "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla. Ecstasy so great that all heaven and hell becomes just one big old Shangri-La! You will be seduced into accepting this orgy of sexual liberation!”

• $25,000 to San Francisco’s CounterPULSE to make Perverts Put Out in the NEA’s “dance” category. This weekly performance is called “ a pansexual performance series.”

• A $25,000 grant to Jess Curtis/Gravity, Inc., whose most recent work is the Symmetry Project in which nude couples, including children, are mounted on each other in various poses.

Stearns was asked by HUMAN EVENTS, “Wasn’t Vice President Biden charged with oversight of stimulus spending when President Obama proclaimed in his State of the Union message, “Nobody messes with Joe”? Stearns said, “Biden’s not doing his job. It’s a joke to think the Vice President could oversee anything. He has no record of good oversight.”

Stearns went on by asking, “The fundamental question is this: Why is the federal government subsidizing ‘artists’ that citizens refuse to support in the marketplace? We are funding bestiality and children appearing with nude adults. As to the economic stimulus rationale, there’s none. There are no long-term jobs in this stuff. This is politics, political correctness gone awry. They’re just funding pornography, and there’s no legitimate reason for it. And the American people understand that it is undermining our culture and glamorizing perversion on their dime.”

Possibly just a little of that "spreading the wealth around". Some posters on here would not have a problem with their taxpayer dollar supporting porn projects. Even statues of "people mounted on children in various poses" would be okay with a few of the pedos here paid for by tax dollar, it is cool with some peeps. I can hear it now, the screams for equality, "The majority is picking on the minority".

I can't wait to see what Glenn Beck does with this. He'll probably declare encouraging people to give blood and honor veterans Communist.

double standard??

This is a scandal? Good lord but where have you people been all these years? Motion pictures have been made at the direction of govt. since the motion picture was invented, and art has been funded and (through that funding) directed messages since antiquity.

Remember the movies that turned Joseph Stalin into "Uncle Joe" during WWII?
Remember the red baiting movies that followed the start of the cold war?
Coincidence?

We've fallen behind in education in the sciences.
CSI, NCIS, Bones...that a coincidence too?

The agenda in the arts has always been suggested, and largely followed, it is business, and the leaders of education, industry, and government all get together with every other business to set agendas. Yearly.

Yes, it's a scandal. Crony Capitalism and pushing partisan agendas is wrong. It's time to put an end to it.

Oh, sure, NOW its "time to put an end to it."

Isn't that what the "worshipped one" promised, that he would stop political corruption and have a transparent gov? Zombie

You fail yet again. If an administration uses the NEA to push a partisan agenda, that is wrong. Period. End of story. And this whole idea of 'force' misses the point entirely.

I seriously doubt you will ever understand this, so there is no reason to continue this conversation.

You win the Epic Fail award:

Yosi Sergant Resigns from NEA | 44 | washingtonpost.com

Yosi Sergant, who became well known during President Obama's presidential campaign for his work with artist Shepard Fairey around the iconic HOPE poster, resigned Thursday from his job at the National Endowment for the Arts.

"His resignation has been accepted and is effective immediately," NEA spokeswoman Victoria Hutter said in an e-mail.

Sergant, a public relations professional from Los Angeles, had come to Washington to work in the Office of Public Engagement at the White House. He moved to the NEA in May and was reassigned from his post as communications director two weeks ago after coming under fire from conservative Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck.

The talk show host accused Sergant of arranging an August conference call with the Office of Public Engagement and United We Serve, a service initiative of the administration, to recruit artists to create works in support of Obama policies.

A transcript of his remarks on the August call was posted on the conservative BigHollywood.com site Monday, leading to an unusual statement from NEA chairman Rocco Landesman on Tuesday, distancing himself and the endowment from Sergant. Landesman said the call was simply to introduce artists to United We Serve, and not to promote any legislative agenda. "Suggestions to that end are simply false," he said. Sergant "acted unilaterally" and "without the approval or authorization" of the endowment's then-acting chairman, Landesman said.
