But remember: it's the ANTI-Obama protests that are astro-turf events sponsored by Fox News and Big Business.

When non-Democrats do it, it is called astroturfing, paid advocation, and un-American.

When Democrats do it, it is called grass roots activism, and community organization.

I call it 100% horse shit.

I wouldn't call it "hippy" at all. In fact it's the most libertarian set of suggestions I've heard on thsi topic in a while. Mos to fit centers around minimizing government regulation that's causing things to be so expensive.

I'm not aware John Mackey is any kind of hippie.

By the way, this entire thread was too see who had un-American thoughts, and you have been turned into the White House for further action.

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to [email]flag@whitehouse.gov.[/email]


Heil Obama.

I was being sarcastic. Sorta. Whole Foods definitely has a hippie vibe, though.

Their CEO is a drastically different individual. He's not quite as hippie as you'd expect the owner of an organic market chain. He's in the biz because other hippies, yippies, & yuppies pay premium prices for that shyte.

You've GOT to be shitting me. The disinformation is being spread by YOUR cabinet, you twat. You've descended to rumour-mongering & a chain e-mail alert line. Holy fucking shit.

Anyone else want to start guessing when they'll break down to censoring newspaper & web articles? Or TV broadcasts & other media? Just in case the Thought Police 1.0 don't catch you first. You plan on bugging the watercoolers?

Quote of the day for the article's title. I swear to Christ, the Onion wrote that article. They had to.

Must be the new party line. "Facts" was on that whitehouse.gov page, too. Look for the "democrats = facts" meme tomorrow.

OMG does anybody REALLY believe this?
"I think it is very hard because [Democrats] don't have the message machine the Republicans do," said George Lakoff, a UC Berkeley linguistics professor who has advised some Democrats on how to sharpen their message. "The Democrats still believe in Enlightenment reason: If you just tell people the truth, they will come to the right conclusion."

He's from Berkeley. They're essentially all brain-damaged there anyhow.

It was leaked a couple years ago that there was a secret "here are our talking points to push" club among the lefties, when one of the members got fed up with the crap.

I just wish an insurance company would actually pay me to complain.

Lefties bus in professional "supporters..." how does one get in on that?

Years of dishonest, bullshit political maneuvering. & the other party's dishonest, bullshit political maneuvering hasn't quite panned out as well. Apparently, the media is the indefensible, one-shot, magic bullet that kills every Republican. & apparently they're all die-hard Democrats. Let's assume that's true, too. That sort of arrangement didn't pop up overnight.

White House is going viral! Wow, that's awesome!

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x....id=4793

Feeling victimized by misinformation spread virally through the Internet, the White House Thursday is launching its own "viral e-mail" for supporters to spread.

With the subject line: "Something worth forwarding," the e-mail — from senior White House adviser David Axelrod — seeks to combat "the viral e-mails that fly unchecked and under the radar, spreading all sorts of lies and distortions" and invites Americans to "start a chain e-mail of our own."


I've already said it several times.... but it is amateur hour in the white house.

All things being equal, starting your own chain e-mail isn't that bad of a tactic.
