Last week, the MyBarackObama website forced a meet-up posting down the memory hole. Obama’s Organizing For America (his ground stormtrooper organization that evolved from his campaign army) section of his website had a posting for what was going to be a meet-up in Illinois to push Obamacare. Apparently, even the extremists that run Obama’s website were ashamed of the intemperate rhetoric in this listing and so, down the memory hole it goes.
As it happens, the meet-up writer felt compelled to call Republicans “domestic terrorists,” and “proud right-wing terrorists. The posting went on with all sorts of ignorant comments and slams on half the American voter base, castings aspersions, calling names, and indulging in all sorts of hate speech.
A Google cache of the site can be seen HERE. Or if you click on the screen shot below, you can see what the page looked like before Team Obama scrubbed the site of this outrageous site.
Some have waved off this absurdity from Team Obama saying that it was a user that posted it and that we can’t hold Obama’s campaign folks responsible for it. However, in the text of the scrubbed posting one can see the following instructions:
And, according to a White House Advisor to the President with whom I spoke ten days ago at a DNC Panel, he said, “ON ONE DAY you ‘burn-up’ the Senate Switchboards – THE NEXT DAY you’ve got the Senator’s attention”. We will achieve that effect, on Friday, Patriot Day 9/11.
How many common users are in a position to speak to a “White House Advisor to the President”? No, this is evidence that who ever wrote this meet-up posting is a high enough Obamaton to be speaking with White House personnel. It obviously isn’t some random fanboy posting this one!
There’s more intemperate language in this over-the-top posting, as well. Here is what was posted at the end of the meet-up announcement:
—* RECLAIM OUR LAND FROM THE HEIRS OF, YES: BIN LADEN *—* YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE *—
In case you haven’t seen it in the News: Republican Representatives, Senators, GOP Party Leader, GOP Political Machine top personnel (e.g., Gingritch), etc etc etc — they’re ALL every one of them applauding and encouraging their zealot-horde by merrily referring to them as “Proud Right-Wing Terrorists”. Google it – I’m not pulling your leg.
But don’t hate them: Misguided citizens are easy-pickings for demagogues, whom they blindly follow because they’ve been trained all their lives not to question the dogma of their religion, so it’s natural for them NOT TO QUESTION what’s being spoon-fed to them by their FALSE PROPHETS who, themselves, shamelessly seek Worldly Glory.
They don’t apply the simple Test: “Am I being led closer to God, when I do what these folks say? – Or, am I on a Bullet-Train to the Devil, and I’m just a pawn to make these folks richer and more powerful?” Because, you know: the Faith one has in God, is different from faith one should have in Man. And you need to be even MORE skeptical, when one of ‘em says that God picked them for something or another. You can bet whatever they’re doing is making them more powerful/ more wealthy, and certainly less pious, no? Ooops, and following them is making YOU less pious too, in thought, and in deed. Yesseree, it’s a real thing to chew on.
Just remember: We Are The Super-Heroes Who Yes WE DID, and YES, WE SHALL commence administering Super-Hero Karate Chops, beginning now.
This disgusting hate speech crosses the line for a website directly connected to the President of the United States.
To compound the problem, Team Obama simply scrubbed the site of this hate mongering, yet offered no explanation or apology. Down the memory hole it went as if it never happened.
There was a day when heavy-handed rhetoric like this was handled by groups and sources outside the White House. Oh, maybe some president or another was aware of such outrageousness, but they weren’t direct connected to it.
But now we have some of that “change” that Barack Hussein Obama was talking about. Now the gloves are off. No longer will a president and his personally directed surrogates strive to stay classy. No, now it’s roll in the mud time as Obama brings down the level of debate to its lowest, most mean-spirited, and hateful level.
So, yes, there has been change in Washington. Oh, we don’t have any more ethical Congress or White House. We don’t have a “post-partisan” president. We don’ even have that transparency promised us. No what we DO have is a president that isn’t above the sort of hatemongering that used to be the realm of extremists.
Nice change, Mr. Obama, nice change.
