Internet web sites, pundits, bloggers, commentators and denizens of the “alternative media” who are critical of Barack Hussein Obama beware, as you will now be “officially” in the crosshairs of the Obama White House. As part of his 2012 re-election campaign, the Obama administration this week created an “online rapid response team” tasked specifically with quashing any Internet articles and news critical of Obama.
This team is headed by Internet guru Jesse C. LEE, 31 of Tacoma Park, Maryland, who was named the “Director of Progressive Media & Online Response.” Unsurprisingly, this is the first administration in history to ever create such a position, and LEE is well suited to head the Ministry of Propaganda, err… the Progressive Media & Online Response team.
Displaying the hubris of an emperor rather than an elected official and possibly violating campaign finance by doing so, Obama brought the fight against Internet publications critical of his administration in-house. Previously, such efforts were performed and funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). With LEE’s hire inside of the White House Communications Department, the operation is now being officially funded by the American taxpayers.
To launch his campaign against Obama detractors and negative reports, LEE has already created an official White House Twitter account, featuring as his first tweet the image of “The Terminator” with the message “OK, turning on the White House Twitter machine that they issued me in 3…2…1…”

Wouldn’t happen to live in Chicago Heights would he? ... I keep getting calls from there but the person on the other end just holds the line open without saying anything, sometimes breathing into the phone. LOL, I don’t know anyone in Chicago Heights or anywhere else in the 708 area code. They’ve called more than once, too.
We always talk on here how liberals are stupid and lazy.
If that’s the case how do they control both old media AND new media?
“Unsurprisingly, this is the first administration in history to ever create such a position”
No, they did it in 1930’s and 1940’s Germany, and Soviet Russia.
It seems a bit strange to me that it is nearly always foreign news services that come out with information like this.
Actually, now that I think about it, it’s not strange at all-—the Obammatrons have the US media in their pockets......
S&&& that little punk. This is America, not Nazi Germany or the USSR.
Now wait a minute.
No way that the Obama White House puts anyone in the crosshairs. We were taught the lessons of Tucson, part of which was that we have to be civil, and avoid any imagery which could be construed as encouraging violence.
Doesn’t everybody remember, Sarah Palin used crosshairs on campaign images of Democrat districts? The liberals told us that she pushed the demented dude over the line. So ever since, we have to avoid talk of “crosshairs”, “war rooms”, “campaign volunteer armies”, or anything else which could ever be construed as violent imagery.
“Welcome to Free Republic, oh great OBAMANATOR!”
This shows they are afraid of Palin
You’re probably right, not a White Hut employee ... just a typical progressive thug, maybe even an SEIU halfwhit thug.
If this Turkey or any other thinks they can stop the 24/7 Gaffes coming out of Obama he has his job cut out for him.
Quashing anything coming out critical of Obama will be a full time job for a thousand people.
The guy is like Hogan’s Goat. He steps in the Poo every day.

Actually, they didn't do it in Germany or the USSR. This isn't the same as state controlled media. (We have that too.) This is an army of disinformation specialists whose purpose is to disrupt and confuse citizen to citizen communications which occur on the Internet. I do believe Bill Clinton did this too, but he wasn't stupid enough to announce it publicly.

“You are the Resistance”

Goebbels had a team designated to spy on a man whose dog would bark ouot ‘heil hitler’.
Exact same behavior, sending a team to bother people who criticize der fuhrer.
Only thing different is now there is the internet.
“Free speech is only for the Left”
“Some animals are more equal than others”
“Arbeit Macht Frei”
“No OldSpeak. It is doubleplus ungood. We will now have to make you a nonperson”
Or just the plain old:
“Sieg heil”
?
He knows that he CAN”T POSSIBLY win if he conducts his campaign fairly.
Our consolation prize, he’s already admitting defeat.
Here’s a quality we should be looking for in a presidential candidate, and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it mentioned before: a person who will pledge to disassemble the police state apparatus that has come to surround the presidency, and transform the presidency into an office that is once again worthy of a republic.
Oh - and screw you Obama, and the horse you sleep with.
Czar and fettering wasn't enough . . . .
