Obama Campaign Launches 'Truth Teams'
ABC News ^ | February 13, 2012 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 02/13/2012 10:46:55 AM PST by thouworm

The Obama campaign is today beginning a new effort to enlist and educate at least 2 million supporters for a "grassroots communications team" they're calling the Truth Team.

The rollout also includes a social media blitz, directing supporters to three new websites:

KeepingHisWord.com, which highlights Obama's record and "promises kept";

KeepingGOPHonest.com, which highlights GOP policy positions; and

AttackWatch.com, which fact-checks claims made against Obama on the campaign trail.

I think I remember some of the Obama “truth team” outside a Philly voting precinct during the 2008 elections...

Normally there’s a difference between truth and fantasy.

Normally there’s a difference between truth and propaganda.

Normally there’s a difference between truth and statements that require 8 or 9 disclaimers.

Normally there’s a difference between truth and having to carefully parse or interpret what was said.

Normally there’s a difference between truth and... liberals.

Sam Adams has a famous quote these clowns ought to consider; that facts are stubborn things. Would suggest that Obama’s propagandists consider the rest of Sam’s famous quote. They can not erase what has been done, Barry’s failings are well documented.

Now, if THAT isn't a scary choice of words, I dunno what is.

That liberty tree looks to be wilted and dying. Maybe that Alabama fan is working for obama and dowsed it with herbicide. Will obama pardon him?

Obumbler thugs planning more illegal use of public offices, like they did in 2008?

Attacking Obama’s Missouri ‘Truth Squad’
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2008/09/attacking-obama/

Cannot forget how government workers abused their office to go after “Joe the plumber” after O-Jackass decided to crash his neighborhood with an OCCUPY campaign rally.

A wisdom book declares, "You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Note that the word "truth" is equated with "freedom."

What irony that the Administration chooses such a term for its tactic to assure its assumptions of tyrannical government power over individuals.

In the current challenge to its power, focus on the fact that this is not about the Trojan Horses of "women's health" or "contraception."

It's not even limited to the principle of religious liberty or freedom of speech.

It is about an unconstitutional assumption of power over rights which "the People" withheld from the purview of the government they structured through their Constitution. If this arrogation of power to the Executive is allowed to stand in this case, then all of "the People's" rights are at risk.

Inasmuch as their Constitution allowed no power to infringe on any specified right in the First Amendment, then the person who assumes such a power also does not possess a power to "compromise," or "accomodate."

May I suggest that readers of this thread read Leonard Read's "Anything That's Peaceful" and share this wonderful and easy-to-read book with as many people as you can.

Not only does Read provide insight into the ideas of liberty versus those of tyranny (as in socialism), but his Chapter 5, entitled, "How Socialism Harms the Individual" is especially enlightening for any who may not see what is happening in America in its proper context, as pertains to the individuals involved.

In Chapter 5, under the heading "The Authoritarian," he begins by stating, "Of the threee classifications of persons involved in social leveling by compulsion, the authoritarian--the one who administers the taking and the giving--has been too little diagnosed." When you read it, you will see the nature of the man before us today. This section of Chapter 5 paints a portrait most Americans will recognize.

This so called “transparent” administration wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped them in the face.
