I have noticed many letters from the leftist community in my area appearing in my local paper recently. It's the usual "As a lifelong Republican voter..." blah, blah, blah kind of stuff. This article describes a campaign originating with Organizing for America, a propaganda arm of the Obamaites. I would like to know if any freepers have noticed similar efforts appearing in their local media, and if so, what responses to these astroturfing screeds have been made by ordinary readers?

Lots of “I’d like to thank...” letters in support of health care legislation around here.

Which is why no one takes Letters to the Editors seriously. They only publish what comes from the Democrats AstroTurf PR machine. The 5000 letter is opposition get screened out so the Progressives can put in the 5 letters that back up their editorial position.

In order to do that, I would have to buy a newspaper, but I haven’t got a bird to put it to any use.

Its like thanking a rapist for the good time he had.

I have noticed a distinct increase in letters dealing favorably with Obama’s programs in my local paper here in Hunterdon county NJ. They are often countered by well written and sometimes angry views of the other side.

The paper is a liberal weekly and part of a chain of similar papers, so they print an even number of both sides even though the county is the most Republican and conservative in New Jersey.

The response should be to raspberry the press for false representation.
Fake letters to the editor are common. The job of the editor is to sell papers, not to be accurate.

I'd like to thank the Obama Administration for removing the stain (of the charge) of Socialism and very parasitic maleficence from the Democrat party.. It is now clear to any that remotely is honest that the Democrat Party hates this Republic.. AND wants to replace it with a Democracy..

Before Obama many democrats hid behind a faux patriotism, a wazoo Constitutional veneer.. No More, they be EXPOSED.. They be unMASKED of the sedition and espionage performed by the Trojan Horse of the entire Democrat Party.. The democrats have also exposed the odor of many Republicans also.. moles in the dirty places in the Republican Party.. called RINOs but turn-coats just the same..

Before Obama they slid on pathways of slime like republican sluggs even snails sliming all they touched.. BIG government republicans, secretly holding the same political desires as the other "progressives".. the enemies of Americas soverignty..

I wonder if the smarmy TV ads thanking our congress critter for health care came from the same place.

Anybody else get them?

Here is the link to the Organizing For America Health Care Action Center letter writing campaign, including “Talking Points” (scroll down), and direct links to regional, local and national newspapers:

They require that you list personal information that will no doubt wind up on their data base, and you can expect propaganda to be heading your way quite soon.

Clever little rats.
