White House Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
Media Bistro ^ | 5/24/11

Posted on 05/24/2011 6:31:30 AM PDT by markomalley

The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories:

The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.

If you’re going to post something online about Obama that isn’t true, Lee is going to be the one to handle you. Considering that Lee’s first tweet about his new position included a picture of The Terminator, we suggest you watch what you say OR BE DESTROYED.

Okay that was a little dramatic, but you get the idea.

Once this propaganda department gets going, they will jump on everything Obama related and flood it pro-Obama posts. Youtube, Yahoo, AP, Reuters, everything will be targeted.

Corporations, Microsoft for one, have been infamous for doing this. It's a bad no matter who is doing it but particularly egregious to be policy at the White House.

I believe they’re trying one of the oldest weapons, scaring you enough to achieve self-censorship out of shear fear. Maybe it’s the needed “nudge” from good ol’ Cass Sunstein!

That's it.

Does this mean individual FReepers will be getting personal visits from this thug’s “friends” for saying things that they disagree with?

Only once. I'll start a collection, hanging them in my garage with the tools. They'll dry out in time.

I spotted him pretty quickly. He was too quick with some pretty longwinded responses.

Worst part is that he’s been here for a few years.

THese liberal fascist a$$hats are a a JOKE when viewed in the context of the history of our nation, BEST not to take them too seriously at all. RIDICULE THEM!

...“I don’t want to write this, they’ll come after me, let somebody else write it, I didn’t read that and I’ll stay away from commenting on it, I hate this but I’m ONE person, what am I going to do about it?, I’m comfortable and don’t want the government after me and my family, etc.”

Boy, does that sound familiar! Been reading my mind? I've been fighting that reaction for months now...for the very reason you stated.I don't want to live in a prison!

Glad to hear from you! Worried in Australia?

I'm sure many felt the way you did. In a nutshell, "I'm comfortable and I want to live in 'peace,' let others do it and I'll support them from afar IF it's safe enough" is totally disregarding our children and grandchildren who assuredly would live under tyranny because of our selfishness and lack of spines!

People who lived under tyranny and fled to the US have nowhere else to go and will always tell you they'll never take it lying down.

We'd better listen and raise our voices before it's too late. No wonder, the Communists are scared and going after the Tea Parties calling them terrorists.

Nowadays, raising your voice is terrorism except if it wais supporting the Communist agenda. Case in point for the double standard, the 2010 Tea Parties and election, AND, the Wisconsin and Ohio union riots, respectively.

And those of us that heard their stories won't let them down. Promise.

” People who lived under tyranny and fled to the US have nowhere else to go and will always tell you they’ll never take it lying down. “

These “people” you refer to must be us, and not the R’s in the House & Senate. I don’t think they are even concious.

The vast majority of the Rs are part of the problem. Enablers, Stockholm syndrome, Vichy, blackmailed, I neither know nor care. If they don’t stand up against the Left they are the farm team of the Left.

And most are like little squeaky mice in their ferocity against the Left.

They are not hiding it anymore. This is going to be the strong arm propaganda division. The campaign for 2012 is going to be very, very ugly.

We need to be answering questions about ourselves and deciding if we truly mean it...

Are we ready to stand on what we believe and know is the truth?

To borrow a phrase from them, Are we ready to speak that truth to their power?

Are we calling on God to grant us the Wisdom to see this through?

And contrary to what many conservatives want to even think about, are you ready to be a potential political prisoner?

Do Christians ever spend time in jail? Acts 16. Are you that ready?
