Rahm Emanuel makes daily, secret calls to media pals

(see article for photo of Rahm's special secure phone--in his own hands)

As the sun comes up each morning, Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, calls his pals in the media – CNN’s James Carville and Paul Begala, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, and pollster Stan Greenberg.

That was no problem last month, but Emanuel is now President Obama’s Chief of Staff, and the calls have now taken on an air of conspiracy. Where’s the shock and outrage and the suggestion that Emanuel is coordinating media coverage?

From our perspective, two things surprise us about this story.

First, that no one has objected to this “cozy” relationship between the president’s chief of staff and members of the media.

And second, that Emanuel has four friends.

There is one way to take all the dims down - piece by piece...

Expose their senior staff members - completely out them and and their radical connections and associations. No politician today can even hold his own d*ck to pee without his (or her) senior staff close by. This is their “soft white underbelly” and it is long overdue to be brought out into the light.

Trust me, those people who get their "news" from the MSM won't hear about this...

I disagree, at least one freeper will probvably make sure as many people as possible will hear about it. It will probably also be on tv.

PRAVDA, means the truth, oh thee irony. A short read of the history of PRVDA is in order:
In January 1910, the party's Central Committee had a rare plenary meeting with all party factions represented. A comprehensive agreement to re-unite the party was worked out and tentatively agreed upon. As part of the agreement, Trotsky's Pravda was made a party-financed central organ. Lev Kamenev, a leading member of the Bolshevik faction and Lenin's close associate, was made a member of the editorial board, but he withdrew in August 1910 once the reconciliation attempt failed. The newspaper published its last issue on April 15, 1912.

PRAVDA, the official Communist Party daily news, was closed by Yeltsin in I think 1991.

Need to control the propaganda, else it won't be effective. Hence the Soviets shut down all other newspapers, probably to save the party money ... Like aborting people to save money, but not as messy ... LOL.

Will the New York TImes assume the role. Would it make any difference.

Parallels in history, why do things always reoccur.

See rule 12 of Alinsky.

Let’s fight fire with fire.

Is this the same Chief of Staff guy that suggested to Blago that he could make some extra cash selling Obama’s senate seat?

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

A democrat operative calling other democrat operatives is pretty much how big media works.
