"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.
[Note: Based on recommendations from Steve at the UndeadRevolution, I have made a few alterations in the above article to better clarify the story.]"

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."
This explains more imo than just repeating the end of the quote. His messed up philosophy affects our national security very negatively!!
One wk til we vote!!
Someone called into Hannity's show today re Juan Williams and the caller gave an excellent example: if you went into a school and saw some guys coming down the hall what you thinK? Columbine!
Big difference.
Plus she's just damned offensive and shrieky.
I "thinK" here are some guys coming down the hall.
What would you prefer they do? Ride a scooter?
HG, you really should analyze what you just posted, then think about it.
What is more important, that she is loony or she is right?
You know she is right, right?
Obama is forsaking the democratic party, actually ANY party in the USA. His goal now is to flood America with as many immigrants as possible, he has been on Univision telling Mexicans they can overcome their enemies, namely Americans. He wants immediate relief aid for 80,000 immigrants from Africa, Moslem immigrants. He is doubling down now, no its even worse than that... He can see the implosion of his supporters, Pelosi is about to be history, both house will turn red, red with rage against his policies, all he has left is a Hail Mary pass of flooding America with immigrants and choking it to death. Just like California.
Could be. But nothing will be done about it.
CERTAINLY not through any effort of hers.
In two more years Obama will be gone. Through regular traditional ESTABLISHED means.
Do you recall all the lunatic crap the left put out about Bush?
He stole the office, was "selected", blah blah?
How is this Taitz crap any different? Stupid is stupid.
Vote the sucker out.
Place not thy faith in illiterate dentists.
Damn HG, sometimes I really wonder about you.
I do give you kudos though for the FRmail exchange we had a few weeks back. That was admirable in my book.
She's a lunatic? She's funny? She's the "face" of the birthers?
Pick one.
----------------------------------------------------
Therefore you're obsessed with her?
Oh wait, I get is now. Your a birther and your pissed that the lib's and the state run media have made her the "face" of the "birthers." Got it.
Enigmatic, that's me.
I just really think this birther stuff is going nowhere and efforts are best made elsewhere.
Just my opinion. Everybody has 'em.
Yeah, I'm often shut down and quashed by illiterates.
You keep working on that, now.
Bless your little pea-pickin' heart.
lol.
Where?
It doesn't bother you that we have an ineligible or at least an enigmatic POTUS...one who is destroying this Country as we know it?
Just what issue should we take him out with? What issue do you think we can win on?
We all know he's a marxist, is that important enough?
Where is the last stand??
typing while blond....
it should have said guys coming down the hall wearing black trenchcoats
I just hope next Tuesday shows us America is not dead yet.
Sure it does.
I dislike the heat in August too but what can I do about it?
Holler and yelp and cry? If I do that for a while, it'll get cooler.
It'll also get cooler if I don't waste effort in yelping won't it?
Just what issue should we take him out with?
Vote. Lots of votes. Yelping too, if it makes you happy. Mostly votes.
We all know he's a marxist, is that important enough?
The sonofabitch got elected. He's IN. It's a done deal.
Let's focus on NEXT. He's got MONSTER power in that office.
We ain't prying him out through legal chicanery or exposure
of chicanery that got him there. MONSTER power. Use votes.
It is going to be a telling day isn't it?
Prayers for our Country......
Not a damn thing. But unlike the current situation, it can be changed, fought against and be defeated....that is if you refuse to bend over and take it.
FFOHTF!
Tell that to Thomas Moodie (if he were alive today, anyway).
LOL....had to Google Thomas Moodie.
Hey, Hitler got elected to, didn't he?
