Buffy Wicks asks government funded artists to push Obama’s agenda

Washington, Sep 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, Yosi Sergant, then Communications Director of the National Endowment for the Arts, and members of a hand-picked, pro Obama arts group were caught on tape discussing how artists receiving NEA grants could produce art that would support the Obama agenda.

A partial transcript and audio from the scandalous conference call has been posted on BigHollywood.com.

The call begins with Michael Skolnik, introducing himself at the conference call “I have been asked by folks in the White House and folks in the NEA about a month ago in a conversation that was held….We had the idea that I would help bring together the independent artists community around the country…and so I’m hoping that through this group and the goal of all this and the goal of this phone call, is through this group that we can create a stronger community amongst ourselves to get involved in things that we’re passionate about as we did during the campaign but continue to get involved in those things, to support some of the president’s initiatives.”

BigGovernment addresses the implications of this conference call: “Debating the role of government is and has been the goal of bringing this conference call to light. The NEA tainted the creative process by encouraging the art community to address highly controversial political issues. ‘How?’ you may ask. The NEA is the largest single funder of the arts in the United States. This government agency has the power and ability to fund arts organizations and recently expressed a desire to return to funding individual artists, bringing more from the group into the pool of potential grantees.”

“The NEA did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable.

Tax payer funded pro-governmental policy art work should not be a problem in communist America.

We as tax payers should be honored to be forced to fund these beautiful works that will convince the stupid, so that The Messiah does not have to drag us to it.

Seriously, who among you has a problem with the National Endowment for the Propaganda?! Who!? Speak up!

I believe Buffy reports to Valerie Jarret who is a senior advisor to Obama and the one responsible for hiring Van Jones.

These pukes ought to go to prison.

All public funding for the NEA should cease....of course, not till after I get a $40k grant to do a Piss Obama piece of art.

Me too!

All sarcasm aside, anyone who may be thinking that this expose is not important is wrong.

This use of tax payer dollars to fund art produced by pro-0bama zealots in order to promote dangerous and unconstitutional policies, i.e. government mandated and controlled health care as well as insane environmental policies is an outrage!

This is no different than our tax payer dollars being used to fund an organization whose goals is subvert our freedoms and install politicians of a specific fabric at EVERY LEVEL of government.

This federal government is forcing us to spend our tax dollars to defeat ourselves.

Our government is rogue. It does not represent us, the citizens. Rather, it represents its own acquisition of power, and it forces us, through threat of prison, to pay the tab.

FBI, go!

Lotta people gettin’ tossed under the bus it seems.

Ultimately, where did the order to turn tax payer funded systems against the tax payer originate?

Certainly it is preposterous to think that The Messiah could not have conjured such a communist style plan.

Resignations are insufficient at this point.

People are going to need to testify under pain of perjury.
