Miami media attacks Romney for noting Obama gave stuff away
WSVN-TV | November 15, 2012

Posted on 11/15/2012 3:46:52 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

No link, just put this in chat....but SAW this on Thursday morning on the Miami tv.

First, the liberal media in Miami is saying Obama has a "plan" to avoid taxes on the middle class...wanting "compromise".

Next, they attack Romney for saying Obama's welfare state growth is what contributed to the results on Election day.

Got Obamugabe Kool-aid? Miami media does.


TOPICS: Local News
KEYWORDS: 2012; bias
I may have to take notes of sponsors....and let them know I will avoid them for financing such biased news.

Barack Obama's Persuasion Army (of misinformed morons)

From the WSJ...

The president has finally made the permanent campaign a reality.

Two days after the election, a friend told me that because he has an Asian surname, he was inundated for months with emails from liberal Asian groups urging him to vote for Barack Obama. I asked what reason the emails gave for Asians to support Mr. Obama. Their main message: Barack Obama is "better for minorities."

It is always useful for Republicans to revisit their "message model" to single white women and the various Americans designated as minorities. Should the GOP kowtow to the Buffett Tax and conform to Roe v. Wade? But before the party reinvents the wheel, it should have a clearer understanding of the implications of the methods Barack Obama used to deliver his own message.

The Obama "turnout machine" wasn't faceless. It was real people living full-time, some much of the past four years, in battleground states such as Ohio, Iowa and Virginia. They attended full-time to targeted racial, ethnic and labor constituencies, as the campaign did in 2008. Obama adviser David Plouffe calls them "the persuasion army." I would call it a skilled propaganda machine.

The job of the Obama persuasion army was to make sure that those targets never stopped having their heads filled via emails, phone calls, meetings and such with what Barack Obama was saying as president. USA Today reported, for example, that when Mr. Obama delivered his State of the Union speech last January—a half-year before Mitt Romney was the official GOP nominee—the campaign's persuasion army held 2,700 house parties.

These field operations were the reason the nation's 44th president had to do 153 fundraisers this year. This wasn't just a presidency. It was a political corporation producing political product.

One view is that this merely adapts to politics the private sector's advanced marketing techniques, and that the GOP should do the same. If the party can overcome its Keystone Kops primary system, sure, go for it. But if the Republican Party uses high-velocity information the way the Obama campaign did, American politics will be waged as a wall-to-wall propaganda war. Policy ideas will be devalued. It was conventional wisdom in September and October that other than subsidies for student loans, infrastructure and alternative-energy jobs, Barack Obama was running a largely idea-free campaign, with the press and voters left to guess at a second-term agenda.

For the Obama campaign, the future was irrelevant. What mattered was the "product" of the president's first term. It's clear why Barack Obama was willing to turn former Wall Street Democrats and contributors like J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon into furious critics of the president with his seemingly compulsive scapegoating of bankers, millionaires and "the wealthiest." Or why at the last minute of the 2011 deficit negotiations he demanded a tax increase that wrecked any possible deal and would have blown up the GOP. Once past ObamaCare, the president spent his first term creating these wedge issues and wedge people for his re-election.

Simultaneously, his field operations were driving these wedges into the heads of the Obama base of minorities, single women and campus voters. Using national politics in this way is known as agitprop.

By the time the election arrived, the Obama base had been prepped, instructed and delivered to vote against half the country. The Obama campaign didn't have to turn them out. The relentless negative messaging never let them turn off. By the way, while Mr. Romney took the independent vote away from the president, some analysts now argue that the Obama victory coalition suggests the independents don't matter. Going forward, the personal takedown of one's opponent is the new baseline for a national campaign. It is widely said that Mitt Romney failed to answer the Obama campaign's $100 million barrage of reputation-destroying ads. Answer with what? When Mr. Obama's "outsourcer-in-chief" ads were exposed in the media as false, the Obama campaign said, So what? The campaign's no-apologies propaganda rolled over the media's "fact checkers" and likely any other response. Only a fool will fail to dump at least $100 million of mud on his opponent.

Some Republicans are consumed with how to make more people like them. Interesting but complicated. The Obama Democrats used the most sophisticated information techniques to drive an uncomplicated strategy with two words: antipathy and fear. What minimal positive content existed in the Obama campaign was frosting on the stones.

Mitt Romney made his share of campaign blunders, but Barack Obama finally made the permanent campaign a reality across a whole presidential term. Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt told ABC in September: "One thing that's different here is that this is the first president in history who kept his supporters and his grass-roots organization in place during the course of the presidency." I'd like to understand the implications of that better before re-engineering the GOP (immigration policy excepted). The question is whether any alternative candidate or Republican message could have overcome the Obama army of misinformed morons. The answer isn't obvious.

Too bad Mitt did not complain about voter fraud!!! His itching about that 47% did not get him their votes the first time he said it in private.

Romney has a way of stating things in a way that gets him in hot water.

But he’s right. The democrat party is in power because it gives away free stuff to people who faithfully vote democrat. The money comes from hard-working people (mostly Republicans) who get up early in the morning, drink coffee not booze, fight traffic, tangle with grouchy bosses and earn a ridiculous amount of money which is then taken and redistributed to democrat voters.

Obama’s ‘planned compromise’ is to extend the Bush tax cuts on the first $250K of income only.

There can be no plan to avoid raising taxes on the middle class. A trillion dollar deficit makes raising taxes on the middle class a necessity, unless spending is cut by a trillion dollars a year.

Anyoen remember Bill Clinton’s promise of a middle class tax cut, and his excuse for raising taxes on the middle class? “I never worked so hard in my life, but I just couldn’t do it.”

Obama will be happy as a clam to let the tax rates rise under the sunset provisions. A static analysis indicates that it will raise more revenue, and a friendly press will help him to blame the House Republicans.

The problem is that human behavior invalidates the static analysis. he will spend every penny of projected revenue increases, which will not be realized because the tax increases will slow the economy, and the deficit will get larger.

Interesting thoughts. I would add that many of the so-called journalists in America, far from being “fact checkers”, were ENABLERS.

LOOK at my example above. The corruption is not limited to national networks. Local tv stations are rife with Obama cult worshipers.

What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about Patraeus' sex life.


Col Allen West; "I don't want to see America become like Zimbabwe where people don’t trust their electoral process. If we cannot trust the integrity of the voting system then we are no longer a free republic".

Col West has opened the door.

We must fight election fraud.

It falls on ‘We the People’.

Silence is consent

Good analysis! Thanks!

______

Romney lacked “fire in the belly.” I seriously doubt that he wanted to be President.

Tone of voice, pretty-boy smile, body language, choice of softball words, lack of follow-through on key issues such as the Benghazi Murders, etc., all indicated to me that he had better things to do with HIS precious time than to spend it running for President of the United States of America.

It is time for us to shun the typical RINO/GOP-Elite Campaigns Method of LOSE AT ALL COSTS.

“Whisper softly and then sit down” should be the motto of the Dole-McCain-Romney ‘Choose to lose’ Campaigns.
