Obama Campaign Launches "Truth Team"
CBS ^ | February 13, 2012 | Stephanie Condon

Posted on 02/13/2012 12:46:22 PM PST by lbryce

President Obama's re-election team on Monday rolled out a campaign to recruit two million supporters to help debunk attacks on the president's record and hit back at his Republican rivals.

Called the "Truth Team," the new effort will engage Obama supporters online and in person, encouraging them to communicate with undecided voters about the president's record.

"People don't just want to hear from campaign statements or ads -- they want to hear from the family and friends they trust," Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Obama's deputy campaign manager, wrote in an email to supporters.

Obama for America, the president's re-election team, will announce "truth teams" in a handful of swing states today. National groups like the National Education Association and the Service Employees International Union have also signed on as partners in the effort.

The "Truth Team" website highlights the effort's three goals, each of which have their own website: AttackWatch.com will defend the president against false attacks, KeepingGOPHonest.com will fact check Republicans' claims about their own records, and KeepingHisWord.com will tout the president's record.

In 2008, more than a million people participated in Mr. Obama's similar "Fight the Smears" initiative. This year, the campaign hopes to double that number before the Democratic National Convention in the fall.

The "truth team" effort acknowledges the bitter contest expected between Mr. Obama and his 2012 opponent. Social media can be a powerful tool to help combat attacks, but it also carries some risks -- when the campaign launched AttackWatch.com last fall, conservatives largely lampooned it.

Truth Team? Well why be surprised. Fascists love to drown out true facts and related criticism. Remember the National Socialist Prop[aganda Meisters of the Third Reich? Obama is merely the next act in the lineage of fascism to plague the world and our free nation.

So why be surprised if his propaganda machine follows the techniques of “truth” according to the Joseph Goebbels approach?

True Dat? Buahahahahahahahahah?

What does history show us of what happens to liberal fascists like Goebells/Obama and their so called truth machines, those who define their false truth to a free people? See my next post.

The first truth he needs to make known is the true unemployment rate. The second is the spread of radical Islam in America.

The truth is... President Obama’s biggest danger is $4+ gallon gas and $6lb hamburger this summer! He has the media in his pocket, lotsa One Percenter types giving him mucho $$$, and a less than spectacular GOP field... but stratospheric gas and food process will do him in! He will lose even to Romney... Kinda a no-brainer, ask GHW Bush. No “truth team” can save him.

Yes, Barack Hussein Obama II told us well in advance what he planned to do. But few were listening.

The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press."

From Sunday's September 7, 2008, 11:48:04 EST,
Televised "Meet the Press":

The then US Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn, USAF (retired), asked Obama to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...

  "During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, 'Stand and Face It'."

NOW GET THIS !!


'Senator' Obama replied:

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides....."

"There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression...."

"The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing."

(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)


- Obama continued:

"The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments."

"When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice, which is why my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past."

"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Black Family."

"Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America."

WHAAAAAAAT,is that???

Yes, you read it right.

I, for one, am speechless!!!


Dale Lindsborg, Washington Post
