DNC coordinated with activists to 'infiltrate' talk radio The Democratic party developed an elaborate, multi-year operation in the 1990s that deployed thousands of activists to covertly mold public opinion using talk radio, according to documents from the Clinton Presidential Library. The Democratic National Committee (DNC), with the blessing of the Clinton White House, launched the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI) ahead of the 1996 campaign. The program trained thousands of operatives to call in to radio shows, conduct surveillance of their contents, and secretly disseminate Democratic talking points while posing as ordinary listeners. "Volunteers must be able to keep the project...

Have you noticed an increase in Seminar Callers, bloggers, emails and news articles? "I have a pre-existing condition" "My sister has a pre-existing condition" "I signed up in minutes" "The AHC will save me money" etc. etc. etc. It is too much of an increase not to be coordinated. I even got one from a fed friend of mine today. It makes me wonder if Federal employees have been encouraged to do this propaganda. How many are lying and how many telling the truth???? A seminar caller is a coined phrase for someone who mainly telephones conservative radio talk shows...

Dem Astroturfing Campaign Targets Conservative Talk Radio By Lachlan Markay Created 02/26/2010 - 13:16 Conservative dominance of the talk radio airwaves continues, but liberals are making concerted efforts to get their voices heard through large top-down campaigns. Organizing for America--the campaign arm of the Obama administration--is rolling out the astroturf in an effort to get liberal voices heard on the nation's most popular (i.e. conservative) talk radio shows. The campaign is called "On the Air." Visitors at radio.barackobama.com [1] (talk about grassroots!) are provided with a phone number of a conservative talk radio show, and a list of health care...

radio.barackobama.com The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online -- and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message.

It's time to get on the air. 1.) Listen then call the show (Dial the number listed below 2.) Add your voice (Use the discussion points below 3.) Report your call (Tell us how it went ...

Here is video of conservative Andrew Breitbart appearing on C-Span this morning where he talked about how he came to be a conservative, and took calls from callers on the program. Breitbart called out some who called on the "Republican line," when, in fact, it was clear they were "seminar callers" posing as conservatives. Andrew Breitbart is a real American hero for his efforts to get the truth out in spite of the liberal media's control over so much. He speaks the truth clearly and without apology, and conservatives should be thankful there is a leader like him standing up...

Stanley Kurtz's appearance on the Milt Rosenberg radio program in Chicago last night provided an unsettling look into the authoritarian tactics being employed by the Obama campaign to stifle and intimidate its critics. I happened to be in the WGN studios for the entire affair because my friend, Zack Christenson, produces the show in question. He was aware of my previous reporting on the Obama-Ayers connection and kindly invited me to sit in on the two-hour interview. (For full disclosure, I work for two other radio stations in Chicago, WIND, and WYLL). As I arrived at the downtown Chicago studios...

She not only is a lifelong Republican, but an anti-big government conservative Republican who campaigned for Robert Dole in 1996. Oh, and one other thing. The mere thought of Hillary Clinton becoming president makes her stomach churn. As her husband, Robert Stross - also a conservative Republican - puts it, "We don't believe anything Hillary says, and we think she'll do whatever it takes to get elected." All of which makes the Madison couple's recent decision all the more intriguing: They've joined the Wisconsin chapter of DraftObama.org, a grassroots movement to help the progressive Democratic senator from Illinois win the...

Democrat callers to CSPAN are slamming President Reagan as his body lies under the Rotunda. So far this morning I've heard the following: "Regan caused Aids by not funding research and failing to close the bathhouses." "Reagan caused crack cocaine to proliferate and destroy black youth" "Reagan was a racist because he focused on Communisim instead of Apartied." "Reagan caused the WOT becuase he funded Osama Bin Laden during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan."

I'm know you've seen them and you probably have interacted with them. They are coming out of the woodwork here on FR and on the radio talk shows and everywhere else as we move towards the next defeat of the Demonicrats in 2004. Who are they? Who knows! Rush calls them "Seminar Callers", Hannity seems to be able to screen them out and does not have a name for them that I know of. OReilly gets 'em and lately we've had SCADS of the little eight legged things crawling all through some of the more controversial posts here. They are...
