“Official Truth”?

“The Rocket’s read Glare” When America goes to War, The President & the People

“To market official truth, so at variance with reality. Or to engineer consent to policies that mock American values. Government must so thoroughly miss-inform the public as to poison the wellspring of Democracy” —Barnett—

Tyranny. Fascism. Elitism. It’s in their blood. They just can’t help themselves.

As John Podhoretz, Commentary’s editor, wrote last week, to disprove a false charge, the magazine had to spend tens of thousands of dollars and waste “dozens upon dozens” of work hours copying two million pages of articles posted on the magazine’s website in 2008 to prove that Lieberman’s speech was a tiny fraction of the magazine’s overall output.

Commentary had to produce 2 million pages and the Obama regime claims the franction of email it released-its 99 pages of email and 1 page of notes, many with sections blacked out - is "enough" to answer their critics?

The best article yet on Obamagate. She finds the common thread that unifies the current batch of Obama scandals.

Yes. Very nicely done.

Below is an excerpt from the now infamous 5-7-12 AP story:

[The operation unfolded even as the White House and department of homeland security assured the American public that they knew of no al-Qaida plots against the US around the anniversary of bin Laden’s death. The AP learned about the thwarted plot last week but agreed to White House and CIA requests not to publish it immediately because the sensitive intelligence operation was still under way. . .Once those concerns were allayed, the AP decided to disclose the plot Monday despite requests from the Obama administration to wait for an official announcement Tuesday.]

According to Z Street’s court filings, the IRS official said that all Israel-related organizations are assigned to “a special unit in the DC office to determine whether the organization’s activities contradict the administration’s public policies.”

Tat seems like a pretty clear connection straight back to oBaMa

The would-be suicide bomber, based in Yemen, had not yet picked a target or bought his plane tickets when the CIA stepped in and seized the bomb, officials said. It is not immediately clear what happened to the alleged bomber.

That's weird, they got the bomb but not the bomber? And this guy was an underwear bomber, so now he's running around without his underpants. Bad, bad jihadi.

By targeting them, the Obama administration completes the circle of an overall modus operandi of punishing those who oppose and expose the failures of his policies – domestic and foreign. The underlying theme that connects Benghazi to the Tea Party, to the subpoenaing of AP phone records, to Z Street, to Nakoula is that they all have challenged the administration’s “official truth.”

Obama's "Pigford". These conservatives have been harmed far worse than the majority of African Americans who received payments under "Pigford". The difference is they will be required to provide documentation of the abuse.
