An interesting phenomenon has been occuring in various newspaper "Letters to the Editor" pages. A woman with the same name has had letters published in no fewer than 9 newspapers praising Obama while using various city and location residences.
Now it's one thing if the person(s) name was something like John Brown, Steve Smith, Amy Jones or any other number of common name combination. However the name being used is Ellie Light.
This may seem like much about nothing except for one small thing. The only Ellie Light that FReepers were able to locate by Lexis-Nexis or internet searches were a reporter that used to write for the Bergen Record.

This reporter, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Washington bureau head, Sabrina Eaton has published several email exchanges with "Ellie Light" on her personal blog on cleveland.com. These exchanges are on the source URL for this post.
This is a very troubling development. Until it is known who "Ellie Light" the following questions are obvious.
- Who is behind the pseudonym "Ellie Light"?
- Is someone from the White House, Democratic party or a close ally employing someone conducting this kind of work?
- Why are newspapers failing to contact letter(s) to the editor to verify name, address/location and phone number and instead relying on email exchanges?
- Can you imagine these questions not being asked if they were the same name, publishing the same letter to the editor in various newspapers around the United States praising a Republican President?
I give major kudos to Sabrina Eaton for doing some true reporting and investigative work. I would be opposed to any White House or political party conducting such a campaign. This is a dangerous trend that's been revealed; newspapers are verifying even less and less information that they publish.
I urge Ms. Eaton and FReepers to stay abreast of this story and not let it die.
Peddle your twaddle elsewhere.
Sad for the world, but thank the devil that she emigrated.
“So let’s not pretend that we can just wave a magic wand and we’ll have a shared border management structure,” Napolitano told a Brookings Institution forum on the Canada-U.S. border.

“But we are all going to have to do this together, we don’t have a magic wand,” Stern told a news conference. The March 29-April 8 meeting is working on a U.N. climate deal meant to be agreed in Copenhagen in December 2009.

OBAMA: I’m not going to no, I’m not going to change all that with a magic wand. I’m not going to change anything with a magic wand. What I’m going to do is I’m going to engage in the kind of deliberate diplomacy and change our policy in Iraq to send a signal to the world, the central front on terror right now is in Afghanistan and the hills between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Don’t agree with the courts of that dollar’s nation, eh?
I was wondering the same thing. Does on media group own all of the papers that it appeared in?
Really, we're not all nuts!
And Verlaine. ;-)

I had a response prepared for you when the Black Helicopters shot down my power line momentarily and I lost FR. MediaNews owns the San Jose Mercury news and like I said, lots of other papers and Media News made the news last week when they filed for chapter 11 (google). It may list their other papers...
Ellie Light = Elite
Samantha Powers was b. in Dublin in 1970.
Her hubby Cass was b. in 1954.
Medea Benjamin (my theory)was b. in 1952....
but accord. to WhoGovs, Anita Dunn was b. in 1958 and her birthday is Jan 8.
So, if she set up the account last year, she was 51.
Her hair is white.
What a crock! I watched his acceptance speech at Denver in which he said that he would defeat poverty, disease and climate change. I sat with my mouth open, it is the first time I remember a candidate promising things that could only be accomplished by a deity.
“But today the president is attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off come morning. He never made such promises.”

Technically, according to my much-hipper-than-me son, it's called "Leet Speak." It's pretty interesting stuff, using 3's for E's, 7's for L's, and so on, to avoid detection by search engines. I wonder which 20-something Obot thought this up. I doubt Cass Sunnstein and Valerie Jarrett are hip enough to know about this.
P.S. My Freeper son also informs me ... “There’s an app for that” called Leet Speak, that converts English to Leet (or 1337) Speak. Ninety-nine cents.
(There’s a czar for that!)
Good find and connections, mojito joe!
Extinction Level Event... didn’t anyone see Deep Impact? Starring MSNBC? Sheesh....

Eric Holder and pals?
MSNBC - I know! They can’t even get ratings in the movies. On a related notes, I enjoyed the thread about some CNN commentator smacking Ubergoober down!
