DNC, Obama Now Astroturfing Talk Radio (Seminar Callers)

The shameless media manipulators at the DNC have a new campaign designed to promote Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. As with previous campaigns, the “Kagan for Justice Action Center” is run via a special website set up by Organizing for America. It encourages people to write letters to the editors of newspapers nationwide (And we can presume that, as before, local newspapers will publish DNC talking points without realizing it).

What’s new is that the DNC is now branching out to Astroturf talk radio as well. Here’s how the page looks on their website:

All FReepers... Send it to all of the editors in your town. Nip this crap.

Thanks PROCON

These people are complete freaks.

It’s probably no coincidence that the DNC page shows the Hannity Show. He allows these morons on all of the time. Rush, Beck and Levin do not let them get away with their crap. I had to stop listening to Hannity completely. The dash on my car is destroyed from me bashing my head on it every time one of these braindead morons came on.

Those are the lamest talking points I have ever seen. Just more proof that the left has no idea what makes conservatives tick.

Ellie Light will be busy writing letters to the editor.

[elpadre]

two can play that game - let FReepers write letters and call talk shows complaining that Kagan is an out and out socialist and not good for the court.

“Hi, long time listener, I’ve been a life long conservative, but—”

[piytar]

NOW?! The DNC and other similar marxist scum have been astroturfing aka seminar calling Rush for YEARS!

[GatorGirl]

And unfortunately Hannity isn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree so he never responds adequately. Sic Levin on them and that’s good radio!

“Long time caller,”first time listener.”

[cornfedcowboy]

Seminar callers make for better radio IMO.

[Brugmansian]

Creepy how Obama still uses his campaign logo.

[Cyber Liberty]

This isn’t a new tactic. I’ve seen that website before....

[Tailback]

Seminar callers make for better radio IMO

Yeah, Michael Medved has made a career out of taking their calls...

[Cyber Liberty]

“Long time caller,”first time listener.”

LOL. That one sounds like it's from Detroit.

We are talking DumBO voters, they will be so dedicated to their mindless task they will forget to vote. On election day, Hannity should open his lines to all liberals and put them on hold.

“Kagan for Justice Action Center”..."Justice" as used by the loony left is always a code word, a euphemism, for "you've got to agree with me and do whatever I want you to"......
