The NEA Scandal
National Review ^ | Sep 21, 2009 | Andy McCarthy

Posted on 09/21/2009 4:49:27 PM PDT by BAW

There are so many funky things going on with Obama and the people he surrounds himself with that it's hard to keep up. But the administration's transparent effort to squeeze artists dependent on NEA grants for support in pushing Obama's agenda is one to watch. At Powerline, John Hinderaker has a superb analysis, including consideration of the question whether criminal statutes (such as the Hatch Act) have been violated.

Needless to say, if something like this happened during the Bush administration, there would already be congressional hearings and screams for the appointment of a special prosecutor. We're about to see (yet again) how serious the Pelosi/Reid Democrats are about all that "rule of law" stuff they spout.

Nothing will happen. Democrats, like Muslims, don’t betray their brethren.

The only problem with getting this story to drive a news cycle is that nobody in their right mind ever thought the NEA and the artists the shovel our tax dollars to were anything other than Obama-loving loons.

No ELECTED Democrat will ever resign. Two bit liars and douche bags. Breitbart is wasting his time. He’s running the risk of the same overexposure that Urkel has. Take the ACORN victory and move on.

I agree. Alinsky would keep attacking from all angles. BTW, it is time taxpayers demanded that government quit funding everything under the sun, esp. the NEA and ACORN groups and subsidiaries. REDUCE SPENDING!!! These corrupt organizations should not get one dime of taxpayer money! End them NOW, congress!!!!
