"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.

Quicker than the election cycle?
Really? Given the record of efforts thus far?
I'm betting on elections, me.
Sounds like you believe corruption is non existent.
In case you haven't noticed, we've been taken over by a coup...this won't be solved at the ballot box.
We have an illegal POTUS, you think we can elect our way out of this?
I know! Prayers of pleading!
I sure hope so.
We sure ain't gonna "Orly" our way out of it.
There sure as hell nothing wrong with “ORLY” keeping it near`the front page. Know your battles and the recipients thereof.......
Yeah well, so far your method isn't working either, but I don't criticize it....notice?
She only keeps it in the front pages of the comics.
She's an idiot and a smacktard.
Obama could do worse than to hire her to put a clown's face on the whole issue.
She's a clown.
MY method? Voting him out? I invented that? I'm AWESOME!
Seriously.. that's the method we are given, the method we have.
You don't want to use it?
Why would a clown care about Obama.........
It appears that your critisizem of Taitz is not so much on issue(s) as it is something personnal. Words like lunatic, quack, and nutcase are more personal than what would usually be used for preempting issues.
She's a crazy woman. She can't speak English. She can't write legal briefs.
She is a complete nutcase. She is an attention whore. She has bad breath.
I would not buy ice cream from her. I would not rent her a room.
I WOULD spray her with a hose to make her leave. Twice. In Winter.
I would not permit Orly Taitz to clean my driveway.
She is a crazy-woman. I can spot them. I was married to one.
Dude you are not smart, you are abrasive. Pick a way that you know. Just throwing bullets gets your magic nowhere.
Pay attention, Grasshopper.
Vote Him Out.
OOH! That was GREAT.......
As soon as the election was over, there was talk of impeachment, but no charges were filed. After Moodie's inauguration on January 7, 1935, it was revealed that he had voted in a 1932 municipal election in Minnesota. In order to be eligible for governor, an individual has to have lived in the state for five consecutive years before the election. The State Supreme Court determined that Governor Moodie was ineligible to serve, and he was removed from office on February 16, 1935.It CAN be done, so long as the political, ethical and moral fortitude is there!
Quick question:
Do you know if there’s a broader context to the last Obama quote you posted, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
The reason I ask, is that it seems so explosive on its face. Could it really be that nobody in the media picked up on this line, even during the recent period where polls where showing confusion on his religion?
Political winds are shifting now, coincidentally - Hurricane coming Nov 2, in fact.
Thanks for the post/ping, LucyT. Interesting thread.
I think you'll need to purchase both of Obama's books and actually check the quotes for yourself. It doesn't appear to me that people are able to accurately provide quotations on the internet anymore. To me, altering people's words is despicable, but we seem to have lost 'shame' as a virtue.
It's you and your bolshevik journ-O-lista operatives that are marketing Taitz as a "nutcase".
Goebbels and Alinsky would be proud of you.
