"The Daily Kos, Twittergate & Obama's Birth Certificate Controversy
Posted by Erica
The Zapem blog has produced a video, Twittergate - The Democrats Hire A Twitter-Thug, which details how the Democrats hired Neal Rauhauser, a Daily Kos blogger, to paint the tea party movement as racist, homophobic, extremist and every other pejorative you can imagine. Rauhauser owns a company co-founded with Beth Becker called Progressive PST.
Zapem says,"The evidence submitted demonstrates the systematic and deliberate provocation towards people in an attempt to elicit unfavorable responses after a series of malicious and vile attacks. The idea was to antagonize, collect and present selected responses as proof of "extremism" within the Tea Party."
The means by which the Twitter-Thugs hoped to do this was by retweeting hateful comments, which they assumed would be made in response to vitriolic and vulgar comments made by the thugs. To further guarantee their mission, they employed someone to assume a false tea party identity. This very disgusting person called himself "WingNutWatch" and claimed in his Twitter profile that he hated blacks.
Any "useful" tweets that could be elicted from the thugs' victims were to be streamed to #teapartytracker on Twitter. TeaPartyTracker.org is a domain registered by Blue State Digital, LLC, the same company that helped create MyBarackObama.com. TeaPartyTracker was funded by George Soros. The site was created for the purpose of "proving" that tea partiers are extremists. Dana Loesch, the new editor-in-chief of Breitbart's BigJournalism.com, did a follow-up story on this story on PJTV. (Also listen to this blogtalkradio interview with Dana Loesch.)
Zapem also believes that this isn't the first time leaders at the Daily Kos have strategized against conservatives with a devious plan. Markos Moulitsas Zúniga stated unequivocally in an Olbermann interview (05:10) that Sen. John McCain was not a U.S. citizen because he was born in Panama. This means Moulitsas has known all along that both candidates had issues regarding their qualifications as natural-born citizens and that this could be a problem. Since our founders intended that only children born of two citizen parents on U.S. soil could be defined as natural-born citizens, the public had to be distracted. If McCain had won the presidency, the leftwing would have used this information to destroy him. Instead, they kept quiet to protect their man, Obama, who had a similar problem.
If all this is true, the worst thing Barack Obama, Moulitsas et al. had to worry about was for the public to raise questions about constitutional definitions. Thus, Zapem is convinced that Obama arranged for Moulitsas to plant a Certification of Live Birth on the internet, knowing full well that conspiracy theories would blossom in response.
Think of it this way: If everyone is arguing about whether or not Obama was born in the U.S. and/or that the Certification is a forgery, no one is paying attention to the constitutional definition of the term. Furthermore, it was and continues to be an effective way to label conservatives with the pejorative "birthers". And, of course, the media played along. I would argue that some journalists may even have been strategic collaborators. The scheme was a red herring, and it worked.
Here are some of Zapem's recent tweets on the birth certificate plot. (Click to enlarge)
So, what else do we know about Moulitsas and his pals?
According to SourceWatch.org, Moulitsas claimed to have been trained by the CIA. What better way to hone your skills in skullduggery? Wonder how he got that internship. Is a FOIA request in order?
In a June 6, 2006 speech to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Zúniga stated that he had spent between six months and two years training at the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, DC. In this speech Kos said began in 2001, before he started DailyKos,[5] and continued until the beginning of his involvement with the Howard Dean presidential campaign (late 2003/early 2004), which would mean that Zúniga was in training with the US CIA for as much as two years.[6]Can (Political) Blogs Be Trusted?

Enough said as far as I'm concerned.

You are either drunk or retarded, I vote both.
If you think for one moment you can "vote the bastard out," you'll be sadly mistaken. Then you must be retarded yourself and drunk on top of that!
It's already tooo late, he's carved himself and his unelected czars into the White House for a long time, until somebody finally wakes up and drag him out onto Gitmo!!
He has a few mentors in Cuba and Venezuela and Honduras!!!
Have you ever heard of CFR. BTW interesting that SNL was covering the missing B.C???
Oh yes, our only hope lies in Orly Taitz filing nonsense briefs and suits.

Yes, I saw the notice about Martial Law and suspended elections on another thread.

He may well wind up there. They'd love him. Not here.

Comedy is where that issue belongs, too right.
You also remember a while ago when you butted into my postings, and the Admin mod had to wash your mouth with soap!!!
I do feel you "pain"(?) for the attention you do lack from your former(?) wife!!!
No, I don't.
Please remind me. Got a link?
Where’s the link? Are you making stuff up again? A serial liar?
Well, I'll tell you what, Zippy.
Since you can't seem to back up this outrageous claim,
let's us go ahead and ping that Admin Moderator. Possibly
the moderation staff keeps better records than you do.
Likely though, the moderation team will regard this, as I
do, as nothing more than trivia. A weak, fabricated response from
a poster of the same type. Weak. That's w-e-a-k, Zippy.
Still waiting on that link, Zippy.
Got a documentation problem there?
I NEVER said that makes you a leftist or a troll. I don’t think you are either one. My comments to you weren’t rude, but you decided to start name calling. Obviously you know that I don’t have any fag avatar on DU. I’m married with 3 kids. So you started talking smack.
Oh yes, our only hope lies in Orly Taitz filing nonsense briefs and suits.
_______________________
The ONLY one here on this thread talking about Orly is YOU! Orly will not be the one that eventually breaks this wide open. Just sit back and watch.
And the more people understand that the slime is not an NBC (and maybe not a US citizen of any sort), the fewer will want to vote for him!
Voila.
If it’s still sitting on my computer, it must also sits on yours, so just go look for it yourself!!!
Posted quotation by tutstar
The actual quote from the book "Audacity of Hope" is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From “The Audacity of Hope”: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’

You make some BS claim and I should go look for it?
No, Zippy. You claim it, you prove it. I think you are full of crap.
If you take the time to actually read the quotation from Obama's book, provided by tutstar above, you will see that Obama's last sentence ( "... and that I will stand with them..." ) the word "THEM" refers to the group of people mentioned in the 2nd sentence of the quotation where he talks about his meeting with "Arab and Pakistani Americans". If you read the quote provided by tutstar carefully, you will see that nowhere in the whole paragraph does Obama mention anything about the Muslim religion.
People immigrate to the U.S. and Canada for many reasons. I personally know a Syrian family who left Syria to come and live in my country, Canada, because they are Christians, and Syria is 95% Muslim. It was getting too dangerous for them, so they left. However, this Syrian family "looks" very "middle-eastern" and some North Americans, who have a bad habit of jumping to hasty conclusions, might mistakenly think by their appearance that they were radical Muslim Jihadists. Obviously, in the case of my dear friends, this conclusion is wrong.
So, I think, from the data [words] provided in tutstar's paragraph, we might also conclude that Obama was talking about the persecution of immigrants based on false assumptions, and he stated that he would "stand" by them when the false accusations turned into "ugly" persecution. I would do the same thing, especially in the case of my Syrian friends.
LucyT has read that same paragraph and assumed (incorrectly, I think) that Obama was talking about siding with Muslims. From the incorrect quotation she provided, she obviously thinks all Arabs and Pakistanis are Muslims. In my opinion, the paragraph does not offer us sufficient information to draw that conclusion. To me, "Arab and Pakistani Americans" [immigrants] could mean atheists, or Buddhists, or Christians, or any number of religions, that are held by Arab and Pakistani Americans who come to North America to escape the persecution at the hand of fanatics in their home country. It is with these religiously unidentified, and possibly persecuted, immigrants that I think Obama refers to when he states, "...that I [he] will stand with them...." should unwarranted persecution escalate and turn ugly.
Do you understand my logic as applied to this ONE paragraph? Can you follow the conclusions I have drawn based on the evidence contained in this ONE paragraph? I am not assessing his entire book, nor commenting on all of Obama's twisted philosophy,......... I am simply drawing logical conclusions based on the word evidence contained in this ONE paragraph, and that one paragraph alone. I don't think there is anything wrong, or evil, or leftist, with the interpretation I have made. To me, it is just common sense to support humans who are wrongfully persecuted.
Please don't call me a damned liberal, or a troll, or a democrat, or pro-Obama, or something dumb about border security, because you would be wrong.....I haven't given you sufficient information to jump to that conclusion.
Point taken. But.... stop blaming LucyT. Google that phrase. It’s been all over the internet for 2 years. All of the other quotes are precisely as he wrote them. Have you read his books? He’s crystal clear about his disdain for whites and his affection toward Muslims.
This thread was not about Taitz until you made it about Taitz.
If Taitz undermines the eligibility issue, why are you so obsessed & determined to bring up Taitz when it is not warranted?
The only reason would be if you were trying to undermine the eligibility issue.
The only reason one would do that is if one was trying to uphold the Usurper-in-Chief’s position.
The only reason one would do that is a deep-seated hatred of America.
Why do you have this obsessive-compulsive hatred for America?
I think the eligibility issue is going nowhere. I can't have that opinion without also hating America?
Why do you have this obsessive-compulsive hatred for America?
Why do you have sex with goats?
Baaa-aa-aaa.
That assumption makes exactly as much sense as yours.
Re: If your effort is associated with a nutcase.. you are all viewed as nutcases.
I view you as a nutcase.
