Exclusive: Internal Email Reveals MTV Pressuring Employees to Attend Jon Stewart’s Political Rally

Now that the establishment’s favorite comedian, Jon Stewart, has the state-sanctioned approval of no less than the President of the United States for his upcoming “Mock-The-People” rally on October 30th, it only makes sense that Comedy Central’s state-enamored sister company, Barack-The-Vote MTV (both MTV and Comedy Central are owned by Sumner Redstone’s Viacom) would team up to do everything possible to help President Obama’s party in these dire final campaign days when the only question about the coming Republican wave is just how large it will be.

An internal email reveals that MTV is investing heavily in making a success of Jon Stewart’s counter-rally to Glenn Beck’s incredibly successful August event. But the music network’s tactics give the whole affair a taint similar to October 2nd’s “One Nation” rally, where all that Big Labor-SEIU astro-turfing still wasn’t able to reproduce Beck’s grassroots success. Below is a portion of an email that I’m told just went out to some, and maybe all, MTV employees. The wording is chipper and upbeat enough, but the subtext is worthy of an SEIU thug: [emphasis mine -- and I've removed any links for fear they go to private internal servers]:

Whether you lean left or right, hail from a blue state or red, prefer keeping sanity, fear, or a healthy dose of both alive and well, the one thing we all have in common is that we’ve pledged allegiance to the MTV Networks flag. And when an opportunity arises to support one (or two) of our own. we’ll take it pretty much every time.

All of these Dem rallies are populated by employees and other people dependent on the speakers. The Dems have almost no grass roots support this year. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

The Dem's are DESPERATE in the final hours of this election season to try to pull a rabbit out of a hat with these "show" assembleges. SEIU/ACORN/NEA/et cetera are bussing in all the bodies they can to try to get a large enough crowd to impress the electorate that SOMEHOW, all this dissatisfaction with the Socialist takeover is NOT REAL.

I guarantee the State-Run-Media will have 24/7 coverage to try to overwhelm viewers with trumped up numbers, speech contents (the DNC talking points have already been printed and distributed to the media for broadcast before, during, and after the "event").

These for-show publicity stunts ain't gonna matter after the final count (and multiple recounts, in the cases of close outcomes).

ALL Conservative wins will be attacked and poo-pooed by the State-Run-Media, and you can hear it now, as always, with the rants, the trotting out of the usual cast of characters, and the pundits.

There will be massive voter fraud, dis-approval of Republican votes, "found" votes for the Dem's, Lawyers challenging outcomes, etc., like never before.

My HOPE is that we get through this without the stolen elections in key races, but I have my doubts on those that are close, as there are way too many Sec's of States in place to make it fair.

What happens when Jon Stewart gives a stand-up comic routine and nobody laughs?

If pressuring employees don’t work, they can always get a casting agency to put out a call for extras like 0bama...

The stink of desperation is pretty overwhelming. Why do these people care so much? Could it be that they’re all suffering from a little Beck-Envy?

LOL -ping

They were involved in the casting call ... Dems are tried old hippies, union goons, angry poverty pimps and crazy feminist witches...

No members of the above groups will be picked for Obama's fakeout. Nope, we'll see young people, middle class people... no union goons, no poverty pimps etc... It's almost like dems are ashamed of who they really are...

I tuned into Stewart twice. The second time he was good. He was chastising the MSM for missing/ignoring the ACORN scandal. Probably on You Tube.

I’ve seen him when he was good too... My dream is he does a Dennis Miller - and joins our side. Stewart’s too smart to be a dem.
