Linking Ellie Light To The White House
Riehl World View ^ | 1/24/10

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:10:15 AM PST by Pessimist

.. Left Coast Rebel made me aware of a comment left on his blog by someone claiming to be Ellie Light. The comment was left by someone using the screen name Winston44. In searching out that name, I found a Twitter account under it that has barely been used.

The account has never tweeted and follows 18 individuals, with 9 following it. Given that we usually add people we know when we first open a Twitter account, I looked to see who the first individual was that Winston44 added. That would be Adam Segal.

Adam J. Segal, President, The 2050 Group, LLC + Named to PR Week's 40 Under 40 for 2009.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, is as it seems with these duplicitous charlatans.

“I want so bad for this Ellie Light thing to blow up into a super scandal.”

Same here. But of course it won’t. Their control of the media is pretty solid.

People thought “Wag the Dog” was satire. It was a more accurate documentary than the work of Michael Moore has been.

I'm surprised the WH didn't use the name Izzie Dark.

I believe “Wag the Dog” was so close to the actual truth, it made me sick to watch it in the theater.

Clinton and his cronies were exactly what was shown. The movie was the whole lot of them, hiding in the open, thinking no one would believe the truth if shown and letting this audacity serve to silence conservatives. After all, if a conservative made any remark about Clinton that was also shown in the movie, they had the cover that the conservative was trying to smear Clinton through the movie, which would seem crazy to any neutral people witnessing the circumstance.

I suspect that not only is somebody in the Democrat party or White House involved, but individuals at the Newspapers were also complicate. The papers in question received thousands of submissions to the Editor, yet Ellie Light managed to get published in all of them.

You can be a specialist in one thing, an expert in two, a leader in three, but more than three, you are nothing more than a generalist.

I hadn't heard about Ellie Light, so I searched and found a blurb, pasted below, for others who don't know (not enough info in the excerpt above):

Obama czar Cass Sunstein recently wrote a paper suggesting that:

...the Government make secret payments to so-called "independent" credible voices to bolster the Government?s messaging (on the ground that those who don't believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government).

Now comes news that one "Ellie Light" has published a pro-Obama letter in 47 newspapers in 23 different states.  The Cleveland Plain Dealer caught on to the apparent astroturfing, but Patterico has done a good deal more legwork in showing just how far this astroturfing has gone.

I never intended on living in North Korea, led by a deviant dictator. Now I know where the cigarette smoke and the clanging piano music came from last November - I was paid a visit from someone in The Twilight Zone.

It’s Obama. He has to sharpen his community organizing skills.

The book had been written about Bush 41 but the feature was rushed through production in something like 6 weeks (which some plotlines merely discussed by the characters sitting in a “war room” talking the viewer through scenarios). They managed to get it out as Fornigate was breaking.

We’ll probably learn that it was faxed in from a Kinkos near Waco.

This is a Cass Sunstein-style op.

Yeah, I know. Of course it could just be a measure of their own bias. I guess they print what they want to say themselves - what they already agree with.
