The Volunteerism Scandals Hollywood Won't Be Broadcasting
Jewish World Review ^ | 10/21/2009 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 10/21/2009 6:28:33 PM PDT by TopQuark

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Hollywood hearts Obama. Obama hearts government-directed national service. That is why you won't be able to change the TV channel all week without getting lectured about the need to get off the couch and Do Something. (After your favorite shows are over, of course.) Creeped out? You should be.

The entertainment industry, inspired by Obama's $6 billion expansion of government volunteerism spending, is coordinating plot lines and ads to push public service. "The message will be nearly ubiquitous, " reports the Los Angeles Times, "starting in the morning with programs such as �Today' and �The View,' and then echoed on soap operas, prime-time series and late-night shows. " First lady Michelle Obama, a relentless AmeriCorps promoter who publicly extolled the Tinseltown initiative last month, will cap off the week with an appearance on "The Jay Leno Show " on Friday.

But don't expect Leno to ask Mrs. Obama about her reported meddling in personnel decisions at the scandal-plagued AmeriCorps. Or about the program's long history as a government boondoggle stuffed with make-work jobs, permanent bureaucracies, left-wing slush funds and partisan lobbyists. More on that in a moment.

“Arthur” on PBS has run the same “volunteer” show for a week.

My kids are near to upchucking.

Hope someone with more talent, time and money is keeping track of this for 2012. Hello Michael Steele?

It was easy. I just mentioned "safe sex."

yeah, everybody join... that's what you want. Your name on a list, that you have no idea who has access to it.

Beware of agent provocateurs. This is now beginning to get down to nut crunching and I would like to know what would happen to a group of individuals who belonged to an organization that would/should violently oppose supposed federal decrees and/or laws. Not to mention that some idiot may post a threat to the greatest living orator in the history of the solar system.

Beware of joining anything. It's better if nobody knows how many or how few of us there are until the numbers are needed.

I'm not much of a fan of joining groups I don't know to much about.

Just my opinion. Be careful as to what you sign or who you identify with.

If you'd like my "opinion" in this conflict with the democrat socialist party.... treat this like any counter insurgency. It's all about intel.

That's why the internet is so important and why the democrat party wants to control it.

In a million homes there are video cameras and people that can upload the video onto the WEB. We can transmit info so that these f'ing little liberal cockroaches are exposed to the light. Get FOIA on every organization, on every political group/lobbying group/ and even join their little campaigns to find the real deal about what dirty little secrets these parasites are hiding.

Intel and let everybody know what they're doing... over and over. So they can't play their little shell games with fake non-profit organizations, fake polling, fake advocacy groups, fake doctors, fake patients, fake everything.

The thing that we FReepers have to find is forensic accountants or anybody interested in the mundane task of following money......cause my friends, that's where they are the weakest.

Funny how a "capitalist" like Warren Buffet gets on his knees for Obama and does everything that a $10 whore would do.... I just wonder why???? hmmm, hmmm , hmmmmm....

We just keep gathering data and posting it so that the pressure never lets up. We also need to think about what we'd do if Free Republic site goes down. Where do we "meet" again. What is our "backup" if that happens?
