Obama mobilizes rapid response on Web..........(Hello MoonBats, meet the enemy..FREEPERS !!)

Much of Barack Obama's political success can be traced to a database listing contact information for millions of people, a tool that has proved invaluable in raising record sums of money and organizing a national volunteer network.

Now Obama's presidential campaign is increasingly using the list to beat back media messages it does not like, calling on supporters to flood radio and television stations when those opposed to him run anti-Obama ads or appear on talk shows.

It did so as recently as Monday night, when it orchestrated a massive stream of complaints on the phone lines of Tribune Co.-owned WGN-AM in Chicago when the radio station hosted author David Freddoso, who has written a controversial book about the Illinois Democrat.

The latest use of the database, called the Obama Action Wire, is proving yet another new and potentially powerful tactic in the closing weeks of a campaign that has already been dominated by Internet-based messages and media.

The aggressive rebuttals are very much informed by Obama's determination to avoid being victimized by the sort of attacks leveled against Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee stung by TV ads run by a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

"The Action Wire serves as a means of arming our supporters with the facts to take on those who spread lies about Barack Obama and respond forcefully with the truth, whether it's an author passing off fiction as biography, a Web site spreading baseless conspiracy theories or a TV station airing an ad that makes demonstrably false claims," said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt.

Sen. John McCain's campaign uses the Internet for fundraising and organization but does not have anything like Obama's alert system to bombard a specific media outlet in real time.

We should start an Action Wire ping list to counter them and FReep any news articles they hit. If Action Wire posts a link to Obama it, we counter by FReeping it.

Count me in.

Ditto, baby!!

[God luvs America]

me too...I’ve been asking for this for a while- we should have access via a password to a list of e-mails to all media outlets and outlines of letters to fire off to the SOB’s in the lib media....

[subterfuge]

The Action Wire serves as a means of arming our supporters with the facts to take on those who spread lies about Barack Obama and respond forcefully with the "CLARIFICATION" that we want them to use, so that the truth is obscured.

[piytar]

Count me in, too. Who wants to set up the ping list? That’s all it will take...

[mainestategop]

You can count me in as well!

What about authors who pass off fiction as autobiography, Barry?

[lovesdogs]

If anyone is setting up that ping list, please put me on it.

[RedRover]

Are you on the Obama Action Wire list? It’d be very useful to post them as threads as soon as they’re received. People in the media would also have a clearer idea of the fact that Obama is behind the “protests”. They are not spontaneous, individual actions.

I am all in! PING ME! Make my day!

Pinging the lists I have access to for consideration. Suggest others do the same.

Add me to the list.

This is true. I have a job (that eats my brain) and time zone issues, but I'll bet we can still help out somehow.

Somebody here has a 5 page list on their home page, I saw it today in reference to someone posting on one of the Obama-traitor-postponing troop withdrawal stories. I’ll try and retrace my steps and find it............

[edzo4]

there was a list of advertisers in one of the US magazine palin threads just as effective as going after the media is going after the advertisers

and I found this list of email address of the msm

>>calling on supporters to flood radio and television stations

talk show hosts call them “seminar callers” and can spot
them a mile away. No doubt they get emails or letters
urging them to call talk shows, esp. conservative ones.

“Hi, I started listening to you a few days ago. Really good show! I’m an Iraq war vet and, while I do support my
fellow soldiers, I think we’re heading in the wrong direction. At first I wasn’t going to support Obama but,
well, in the past few weeks he’s really started to connect with me...”

“Hi, I’m a Republican but I really don’t think our
ticket is strong this year. Something Obama said
really caught my interest...”

Yeah. Right.

Sign me up too !!

[HereInTheHeartland]

Contact McCin/Palin or your local Rep organization to help.
They need people to do the basic work, phone calls, door knocking.
McCain wasn't most of our 1st choices, but the MCain/Palin team is light years better for our nation than the Manchurian Marxist and his sidekick Biden.

I did this for the first time ever this week, and encourage everyone else not just think about, but just go do it.

The Obama-maniacs are out there working hard trying to steal this election from us

“...the Obama Action Wire, is proving yet another new and potentially powerful tactic in the closing weeks of a campaign that has already been dominated by Internet-based messages and media....The aggressive rebuttals”

LOL! Those Action Wires are a joke. I listened to both WGN programs were there “action wires” were issued to Obama supports which urged them to call in an complain. It was hilarious. All of the callers sounded like complete idiots. They all read the exact same talking points of the Obama email. And when the radio show host would try to probe a little deeper with simple questions like “can you give me a specific example of where Mr. Kurtz lied?”, the Obamabots would stammer and stutter like fools with no answer except things like “oh, you know what I’m talking about.”

These Obama action wires are a complete joke. I belive they do more harm than good. Well unless Obama is looking to show his lack of support for the first ammendment and if he is looking to show his supporters are fools, then he is succeeding.

I think all of this is a good idea.We need to consider our upcoming FReepathon and make sure it is fully funded as soon as possible.I am hoping that it doesn’t run into the election in Nov.
