Obama's Media Matters Goon Squad
Investor’s Business Daily ^ | Sept. 18, 2012

Posted on 09/18/2012 7:12:20 PM PDT by george76

Abuse Of Power: The Justice Department has been caught colluding with left-wing media "watchdog" Media Matters to suppress critics who've embarrassed the Obama administration. What is this, Hugo Chavez's Venezuela?

Based on a cache of internal Justice Department e-mails obtained by the Daily Caller, Attorney Gen. Eric Holder's press staff has been collaborating all along with left-wing media "watchdog" Media Matters to smear any reporter asking uncomfortable questions, to discourage whistle-blowers, to discredit political watchdogs and to suppress damaging news about what's going on in the Obama administration.

The Daily Caller found dozens of pages of e-mails between DOJ Public Affairs Director Tracy Schnakler and Media Matters staffers planning and discussing how to attack reporters who covered scandals such as the Black Panther voter suppression case, and the Fast and Furious scandal where DOJ sold thousands of guns to Mexico's notorious crime cartels — the truth of which DOJ didn't want to get out.

My German mother was just talking about this:
(I had to look it up)

Gleichschaltung
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichschal....
Quote:
Gleichschaltung, meaning “coordination”, “making the same”, “bringing into line”, is a Nazi term for the process by which the Nazi regime successively established a system of totalitarian control and tight coordination over all aspects of society. The historian Richard J. Evans translated the term as “forcible-coordination” in his most recent work on Nazi Germany.

Among the goals of this policy were to bring about adherence to a specific doctrine and way of thinking and to control as many aspects of life as possible...

This thuggish meddling crosses the line into dictatorship, and calls for a congressional investigation.

Too bad no one in Washington has the stones to do anything about this.

These are the people who called Navy SEALS “gutless”. I expect nothing but garbage from them anyway.

Between this and Hollywood coordinating with Obama I bet Goebbels has a smile on his face.

Would you kindly inform the folks at Media Matters on my behalf that I do not give a rat’s ass about their collusion, but I do care if Federal Agents are murdered as the result of a Federally-instigated program intended to squelch the Second Amendment?

Thanks.

Isn’t Media Matters a 503c (meaning it’s supposed to stay out of partisan politics)?

I think it’s time Media Matters starting paying its fair share.

Since the 1920s, Communists world-wide have waged concerted and prolonged “campaigns” to extend their control and foment unrest and revolution. “The Communist” has an excellent review of their tactics. Sounds very familiar.

This is what the Justice Department considers to be “free press.”

Like the facists of yore, they need a well oiled state run media to keep the drones in line...

You don't have to donate money to the Romney campaign to make a difference. (You should donate money to FreeRepublic.)

If You Live in a Blue State, Here Is What You Can Do To Help Romney Beat Obama

I've made 1600 phone calls from home to New Hampshire in the last six days using the system set up by the campaign. Even 100 calls will make a difference. Who will join me?
