With a quiet, almost unnoticed nomination just before Thanksgiving, President Barack Obama rewarded Media Matters for its help in attacking reporters and critics of the administration.

It instead nominated Matthew S. Butler, the former CEO and president of the George Soros-funded left-wing advocacy group Media Matters , to replace her.

Well, if Bush’s election in 2002 was so “controversial”, then why did Al Gore fight so hard to insure Bush’s presidency while President of the Senate?

This appointment is in the same rank as such appointments as Van Jones and Anita Dunn.

BTW, the page says the author is one Hans von Spakovsky.

Well, Obama’s nominee’s name is Matthew S. Butler.

Soros is one of those types to which the old saying “The devil takes care of his own” applies. He has a lot of allies in the shadows, but also in high places.

Obama was seemingly Born.... to Be a Soros Puppet.

Im certain the ole Gyorgy has such a soft spot in his “heart” for Obie.

Perhaps Mr Schwartx will join the Obama’s in Hawwaii for a few drinks over the “holidaze”?
