Fox News: White House can’t quite explain how people ended up on Axelrod’s spam list
HotAir- Fox NEws ^ | 8/17/09 | staff

They have theories, mind you. But the theories don’t add up.

The White House told FOX News that third-party groups sending online petitions to the official administration Web site could be to blame for a rash of e-mails that have gone out to people who never requested them. The theory is that these groups are including the names and e-mails of members and petition-signers along with the petitions themselves, in turn embedding those e-mails into the White House distribution list…

Griffith, who works for the American Association of Christian Schools in Washington, D.C., said she got the e-mail in her office account even though she’s careful not to use her work e-mail for anything that’s not office related. She said she has submitted questions through the Whitehouse.gov Web site using her personal e-mail address, but those questions were never answered. She said she never signed up for any updates or petitions with any group…

Anita Donaldson, a stay-at-home mom in Arlington, Va., told FOXNews.com she’s received a slew of unwanted e-mails from the White House on everything from health care reform to Father’s Day ever since she sent some e-mails to Washington via the FreedomWorks Web site.

That was not a petition, though. And it was not sent directly through the White House page. She sent the messages, protesting the stimulus package and other proposals, through one of many “action alerts” featured on the FreedomWorks page. The pages allow readers to submit comments to the White House and other government officials through an application called Capwiz.

They were probably reported for fishy conversations.

They can too explain it, and they know they can. And they know WE know they can. But they aren’t about to, because they’re hypocritical scum, and they know it. And they know WE know it. But they don’t care.

Watch this cartoon about snake oil salesman in America. It explains America today under Obama.

Watch this 9 min long cartoon from 50 years ago.

A criminal enterprise like the demcorap party lives on lies. Lying is second nature to Axelgreasy and his goons and ghouls ... they’re the ‘Axelgreasy G’s’ don’chaknow.

They are either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt.

To look at leaders like Reid and Pelosi, I’d say both could apply and then some..

Of course it’s corruption, but beyond that, the people in this administration are so arrogant they think there is nobody in the entire country who knows with certainty that their explanation of this is gibberish.

Or as we’ve recently taken to saying, gibbserish.

We need to begin the drumbeat demand for Axelrod’s resignation.
