STACK THE DECK

As you know, back when the President had his snitch email program up and running, I snitched on myself many times daily.

One of the results of this peculiar behavior on my part was that I was involuntarily enrolled in "Organizing for America," the propaganda arm of this vile administration.

It is an interesting source of information about how the presently powerful spin and twirl events in our society.

Today I got the following email from OFA.

Joe --

Each day, millions of Americans turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions on the big issues of the day.

Getting thousands of OFA supporters to call in to these shows in support of health reform and President Obama's agenda will have a dramatic impact -- and will help shape public opinion.

But we need you to make it happen. Along with thousands of other active volunteers like you, you'll help identify which radio shows talk about politics and accept calls.

Please take just three minutes and answer three simple questions about a radio show in your area. Together, you'll build a massive, nationwide list in no time...

Thanks,
Mitch

Well newsflash!

I am not going to "help them build their list," as I suspect they have a motive other than just letting peoples' voices be heard.

It is my strong suspicion that they intend to engage in what Rush Limbaugh refers to as "Seminar callers."

Seminar callers are plants. They have been schooled in what questions to ask to try to get the talk show host to respond in a certain way, to slip up or to change his/her mind on a subject, usually having to do with current legislation.

It is patently dishonest to stack the deck like that, but if President BO and his cohorts have no scruples about doing it at the polls, why should we expect otherwise of them with regard to talk radio?

I'm sure there are some of you who think this is a perfectly proper way to behave.

Well, this is (temporarily) still America and you have the right to be wrong.

And you are.

Why are you so afraid of allowing talk show hosts to be who they are?

Take "Air America," the network that was beset by a raft of off-air problems almost from its inception: a charity-loan scandal, contract disputes with affiliates and employees, continual changes in ownership and management, and a 2006 bankruptcy. Please.

All Air America has to do to crush the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity is to garner more listeners than they have.

Only people aren't listening to Air America in droves.

Why is that?

Turns out that the stupidity espoused by Air America is seen through by the majority of Americans and they just don't like the constant stream of same.

Americans are smart. They listen to smart radio shows. Why, even smart liberals listen to Rush Limbaugh a lot. They must. They frequently call to try to trip him up. Usually they just end up like most mindless liberals and just start calling him names...that's really all they know how to do.

So, I will not be helping the Obama administration with it's attempt to use conservative talk radio to further its health care debacle.

I hope you don't either.
