NBC Highlights 'Life-Long Republican' Caucusing for Obama, But... (Yet ANOTHER plant)

The quickest way to get the liberal media to pay attention to you is to claim to be a Republican who hates Republicans. It’s an almost infallible public relations strategy that of late has worked well for “Republican” Monica Green.

It’s also done wonders for “lifelong Republican” Henry A. Lowenstein, who has managed to get 20 different letters published in the New York Times since 2003, a remarkable feat when you consider that the Times (by its own admission) receives around 1,000 letters a day and prints only 15 on its letters page. That means the odds of the average liberal person (the paper freely admits it favors left-wing letter writers) getting his or her letter printed are about 1.5 percent.

Hard to believe but then again you have folks right here on FR supporting Flip Romney, John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Guiliani. Its a matter of dumb and dumber.

Betting that Monica Green, probably Jewish, NEVER voted for Reagan since she likes COMMUNISM!!! What freaking LIARS!

[Ann Archy]

Monica Eckstein Green!! YOU ARE A LIAR!

[mad_as_he$$]

This is the sixth or seventh story I have seen this week claiming Reps are out for Obama. I call BS.

Nothing directly, there is an EmbarQ, but nothing under EN Q, her name or her partners’ names, nor anything under the company name her website is registered under (Diligent IS)

Good find. Thanks.

[mnehring]

I recall about 3 months ago somone posted an article about another ‘Republican for Obama’ and it took about five minutes to find out he never was a Republican (donated to Gore and Clinton, member of GLAAD and some anti war groups)

I can look at her hair, glasses and smug face and tell you she’s a lifelong Rat.

[Kirkwood]

Maybe she’s under deep cover and working hard to undermine the Clintons. Maybe.

[Fresh Wind]

“Obama touches that”.

Ick.

[tanknetter]

His views on communism were probably not the view I would appreciate today

What a friggin maroon. The point that she's making is that she likes Communism more NOW than she did when President Reagan and his anti-Communism strategies were winning the Cold War.

Ok, pro-Communists back in the 80s were idiots ... but at least they could point to a system that had managed to envelope half of Europe, most of Asia and a good chunk of the third world. You can't use that sort of argument today - the only "real" countries out there still drinking the Red KoolAid are Cuba and North Korea. This vapid oxygen thief is saying she's sympathetic to a system that has not only been ideologically discredited, but shown - in reality, by real-world examples - to be an utter and complete failure.

How come the MSM NEVER mentions — or interviews — lifelong Democrats who’ve switched parties...?

In all my years, I have NEVER, EVER seen the MSM do this with a Democrat. The MSM always tries to aid the Democrat by always finding (and always by sheer happenstance) a "life-long Republican" and holding up as now a staunch supporter of Democrat candidate X.

Now, why do you suppose that is?

[parisa]

I have lost count of how many letters to the editors I have written, always noting my switching of parties after 9/11 and reasons behind it — my disenfranchisement with the direction and twisted logic of the liberals of today — and only once did I come close enough to getting something of mine published when someone from a liberal paper called me back for identity verification so my letter could be published. Still that letter never got published anyway. Reckon, higher ups got wind of it!

Thanks for posting this. I saw her say it and wondered exactly who that woman was. Now I know.

You're quite welcome Susie, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be helpful  :-)

If Reagan was the last Republican that she supported (probably the only one), did she vote for Clinton?
