than to co-ordinate trash-talking messages among Left-Wing Groups... Lefties should be ashamed... This is a slippery slope of McCarthyism here... If Bush had done this, would would they have said??? But the moral upright Left can never become the moralistic-know-it-all-who- knows-nothing, right???
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/03/10/politico-20-lefty-groups-holding-daily-calls-to-coordinate-messages/ >>> How many faintly ominous pieces has Politico run this year about people >>> close to Obama colluding to target their political enemies? There was the >>> story about Rahm Emanuel’s friendly daily chats with Begala, Carville, and >>> Stephanopoulos, then there was the expose on the group effort (“explicitly >>> authorized” by David Axelrod) to make Rush Limbaugh the face of the GOP, >>> and now this. No wonder Ben Smith’s using the word “conspiracy.” Question to our resident Politico-haters: Has any other publication written extensively about this sort of thing? If so, I missed it. The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 labor, environmental and other Democratic-leaning groups dial into a private conference call hosted by two left-leaning Washington organizations… The call has proved particularly effective at coordinating attacks on critics, said Jackie Schechner, the national communications director for Health Care for America Now, a labor-backed alliance of groups that support Democratic efforts to expand health care. “There’s a coordination in terms of exposing the people who are trying to come out against reform —they’ve all got backgrounds and histories and pasts, and it’s not taking long to unearth that and to unleash that, because we’re all working together,” Schechner said. When a new group called Conservative for Patients Rights, for instance, launched an ad campaign featuring former health care executive Rick Scott, “There was a discussion about what do we know about this guy and in a very quick period of time we were able to come up with his background,” she said… Though White House officials do not participate in the calls, Palmieri said, the new infrastructure is closely tied to the White House. Podesta directed Obama’s transition, and Americans United for Change exists largely to run ads promoting the White House agenda. Some on the left, however, remain skeptical of the White House’s embrace. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
