Video: ObamaCare fans take Astroturfing to a new level; Mayer an OFA organizer
HotAir ^ | August 12, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

Patterico and Lone Star Times capture yet another banner moment from a town-hall forum hosted by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) . In this clip, Roxana Mayer introduces herself as a doctor (a general practitioner for four years) in order to support ObamaCare and Jackson-Lee in a fairly hostile crowd. For her efforts, she gets a big hug from the Congresswoman, an image which the Houston Chronicle featured prominently on their website coverage of the event.

But was Mayer really a doctor?

Not only was Mayer not a doctor, Roxana Mayer was an Obama delegate, as Patterico discovered with some digging. What’s more, the Houston Chronicle apparently knew this and failed to include it in its glowing coverage of Mayer’s appearance. The reporter, Cindy Horswell, has admitted that she knew Mayer was an Obama delegate and that Mayer didn’t live in Jackson-Lee’s district when she wrote the Chronicle story. After getting exposed, the Chronicle quietly changed the caption on the photo without issuing a correction, removing the reference to Mayer being a doctor.

Good news and bad news.

Good news is that the Obamaloons are so bereft of leadership ability and ideas that they have to like like a Clinton.

Bad news is that the MSM and the libs actually believe that bull-Obama.

Unreal.

They hardly try to hide the fraud and bias now. On the part of both politicians like Lee and the MSM.

No integrity, and yet they yell like babies when people show up outraged. Is it any wonder, Ms. Lee?

The entire life of these people the living and loving of a lie! Unfortunately, the American people have lost the strength necessary to exclude such people from public office.

The fraud in the dimoKKKRAT party is being exposed at a rapid rate. Even the media is getting caught aiding the cover up.

Here’s a link to a new Chronicle story saying that Sheila is denying she even knows this woman:

I think there is a conspiracy afoot to destroy the Democratic Party.

I honestly believe that things are beginning to change. Especially when we are seeing Independents and Democrats joining in.

I confess that last night on Hannity's "Great American Panel" I saw the Democrat really criticize the party's hacks and policies. I was amazed! However, one Robin does not make a Spring

IMHO, that's a big problem. When a country no longer has a free, unbiased, independent press - they're done.

Looking more and more like she did...found in a search:

Jackson Lee is married to one Elwyn C. Lee, who has a dual appointment as the “University of Houston System vice chancellor for student affairs and University of Houston vice president for student affairs.”

Linked In lists a Roxana Mayer — who, according to LinkedIn, is slated to graduate from the University of Houston with a Masters in Social Work in 2010.

That was Pat Cadell. He’s been criticizing the dems for a while now.

A dedicated lib, but a pretty good guy nonetheless.
