Ben Johnson,Floyd Reports
A radical left-wing activist has confirmed Republican charges that the Obama administration runs an extensive and potentially illegal propaganda campaign from the White House. We noted yesterday that Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a 36-page report noting that the president has used taxpayer dollars to finance “a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign”made up of “inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives.”Often,this involves “covert propaganda,”in which officials ask others to repeat White House talking points without mentioning their connection to the president. (Read our summary here.)
Evidently,36 pages was not enough. The committee missed an event.
Sally Kohn wrote in The Huffington Post yesterday that she attended a May 12,2009,meeting in which multiple Obama administration officials asked the radical Left to promote its legislative agenda.
I reported on this “cultural policy”summit called by Valerie Jarrett nearly a year ago. Dozens of the most extreme activists on the left-wing’s fringe met in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with eight Obama administration officials,all of whom report either to Jarrett or First Lady Michelle Obama. The meeting’s summary noted that “more than 60 artists and creative organizers…came together for a White House briefing on Art,Community,Social Justice,National Recovery.”
Among other things,Kohn confirms Jarrett was present,although the meeting’s notes tried to airbrush her out of the summit.
The Obama administration officials made it clear they wanted the fringe leftists to help shape the president’s agenda,then promote the Obama party line. Tina Tchen,who works in Jarrett’s Office of Public Engagement,told attendees,“The administration wants to sustain energy from the election process and turn it toward the agenda.” Buffy Wicks, who would later take party in the infamous NEA call,“asked briefing participants to think through how their networks and organizations can participate in areas such as the arts in education,healthcare and preventative care,energy and environment,or economic opportunity.”
The activists then broke into groups to “ideate”on how to best promote the president’s legislative agenda. Michelle Miller of the SEIU suggested participants:“Create a counter narrative to the Luntz memo/Republican talking points designed to destroy health care reform. They can offer creative,humorous voices that can think outside of white papers or New York Times op-eds to communicate effectively about the importance of health care reform and diminish the increasing attacks on our movement for reform. For example,the satirical webisodes SEIU is producing with comedy writers with content from Lutz [sic.] memo.”
Sally Kohn’s panel lamented the failure of the 2007 amnesty bill but hoped,“Artists and cultural organizers can play a critical role this year on helping advance the legislation,as well as over the coming years helping bring the humanity and personal/family stories of the issue to light.”
Kohn revealed yesterday that this meeting was the beginning,not the end,of the radical Left’s collusion with Obama. “The White House convened a weekly meeting called ‘Common Purpose’at which DC progressive organizations were invited,”she wrote. At these Common Purpose meetings,“the White House dictated its agenda and appealed to the professional left for back-up.”
In other words,Obama administration officials,led by Valerie Jarrett,have directed a year-long covert propaganda campaign from the White House aimed at securing support for its agenda from the most radical elements of the political spectrum.
Kohn is no right-winger. She is a self-described “Jewish lesbian”who once wrote a diary entry on DailyKos entitled,“Why I Have a Little Crush on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.”
Neither were the other participants anything but beyond the pale. The invitation list included several associates of Van Jones and a number of left-wing conspiracy theorists who believe the CIA sells crack in minority neighborhoods.
Perhaps the worst example of the people Obama is willing to play ball with is someone who calls herself “Rha Goddess.”Rha’s biography describes her as “the former International Spokeswoman for the Universal Zulu Nation.”That group teaches “The Bible has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted”in accordance with the Koran. Its manifesto teaches its members their opponents are “a race of Devils,”whom they “should fight in The Name of Allah,Jah,Jehovah,Eloahim,The Creator, The Most High Supreme One,God.”
Kohn’s revelations should provide fresh fodder for investigators,and a clear window into the radical bent of this administration.
The question we should all ponder is:Which is more frightening,the Obama administration’s covert propaganda campaign or the anti-American extremists they got in bed with in order to execute it?
Boy,am I surprised!!!
NOT!!!
BO will try anything to promote his left wing,insane,Marxist and Islamic ideology. It is unbelievable that there are still 41% of Americans who think this man is legitimately working for the American people. First of all,if he were,SHOW US YOUR PAPERS!! Be honest,transparent and accountable. There is no way in hell he will ever expose his past,a past so obviously drenched in lies and corruption.
Well "Sammy's Dad"your far from being alone in your feelings,all that I can say is that I am in total agreement with what you said,along with many millions of others. This Obama thing,along with his minions are done.
I can only hope that it can be shown,and proven that this s o b is in fact an illegal president,then everything that he has signed,done,implemented,taken,used,etc etc etc,will be null and void. Then he along with those who perpetrated this fraud upon the American people be severely punished. A dream possibly,but nothing is impossible.
Here's proof that Obama is an illegal islam muslim alien.

Connie Hand Royal.
i agree!
You are so very right !!!!I think the gop is waitng after the elections to go after obama!!! so they have the marjority! Pray Connie and America!!
In July 2009,the estimate was about 308,000,000
people in the U.S.
There are out of that number,I believe,more of
us who want a republic and freedom,
than there are of those who want to bring
in Socialism,Marxism,Leninism,and
maybe a little bit of Naziism.
The good outnumber the bad. You can see
that just by using this board as a measuring
stick.. about a handful of the posters here
are non-American in their value systems,
while the rest are all for ousting the
czars and cronies of Obama's regime.
What a mess this is. How did this come
to be? He bought votes,machines were
rigged,and on top of that,people were
foolish enough to want to erase the stigma
of the Civil War's image.. to make the
history of slavery just disappear.
Well,now we will be slaves to the above
ideologies if we don't become united
in dispersing the harm that has been done
glenn beck talked about buffy wicks a year ago and all the art posters obama ordered!!! the corruption is so heartbreaking everyday. the radicals of the 60s are running the u.s.a. people are beginning to realize this!!!!
The time is coming when the talking is over…….it is nearing the time for ACTION…….REVOLUTION and OVERTHROW The MUSLIM MARXIST SOROS PUPPET BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA,aka BARRY SOETORO!
Hopefully this can happen via Military Coup,Versus a disorganized and painful Revolution or Civil War……Something is coming and it may be soon! The dictator is about to due something very stupid and that action will set it off. We The People are not uniinformed sheep like the scenario with the Jewish People and Hitler……WE ARE DIFFERENT and At SOME POINT,WE WILL FIGHT TO DEATH FOR THE FREEDOMS We are losing through this Marxist Muslim Regime. May God Bless us all and lead us as this journey continues to the end! MMFWV
Absolutely on board with ya! Ready to rock.
That pic is perfect. He belongs in Quantanimo Bay. And throw away the key.
IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010. http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/
The illegal islam muslim alien in the White House cannot be impeached because he is not a legal president. A swift and permanent action has to be taken to rid this vermin out of the US.
John McCain’s manifest impotence in his dealings with the North Carolina GOP’s dog-whistle ad campaign has,predictably,been translated in MediaSpeak into further evidence of his "maverick"status —and just as predictably,he’s being criticized in some quarters for even protesting the ads in the first place.
But the GOP’s ad is only part of the picture regarding what’s happening in North Carolina. For the bigger picture,we need to talk about Floyd Brown and Bruce Hawkins.
You see,in addition to the Wright ad,there’s a right-wing operation titled "ExposeObama.org",operated by our old friend Brown,running ads on North Carolina stations that are even more incendiary,even more obvious in their dog-whistle nature —overtly associating Obama,through imagery and implication,with black criminals.
And as Joe Conason adroitly observes,McCain has remained strangely silent about these ads —no doubt because he can claim that this is an independent conservative 527 organization with no official ties to the GOP. His hands are clean.
This is what we all feared from this usurper! No wonder we all felt uneasy,manipulated,deceived,laughed at,coericed,violated,and abused. This guy (president) is a flat out a O. Don't think we weren't on to you! Fire his a$$ and his CZARS now.
AND WHAT DO WE DO……………..NOTHING…THE LONGER WE WAIT,THE LONGER ITS GOING TO BE…THAT IS WHY THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR GUNS AWAY,ITS GETTING TO THE POINT OF 'NO RETURN''……AND THEIR IS NO ONE WHO WILL STOP HIM? THATS SAD..
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Susanm,
He will be stopped!
Just hang in there girl friend!
This is old news. It was reported by Glenn Beck extensively several months ago. I believe Sean Hannity covered it as well,as I recall. But as usual,the main stream media and Press choose to ignore it. Should we expect anything different from them? I think not.
MARIANNE SILIC,
I THINK YOU ARE OFF SUBJECT HERE? EXACTLY WHY YOU REFER TO N.C. POLITICS IN RELATION TO THIS SUBJECT I HAVE NO IDEA OTHER THAN YOU MUST BE JUST ANOTHER OF OBAMA'S MISINFORMATIONIST.
THIS OPINION PIECE YOU HAVE POSTED IS BASED ON FICTION NOT FACT. JOHN McCAIN'S CAMPAIGN HAD NO CONNECTION TO THE 527 ORGANIZATION OF WHICH YOU CLAIM HE DID. IN FACT McCAIN SPOKE OUT AGAINST THEIR RUNNING THE ADS WHICH YOU HAVE REFERENCED TO HERE.
SWEETY! NEXT TIME DO SOME FACT CHECKING! THIS KIND OF SPIN JUST WON'T FLY ON THIS SITE!
LOOK FOR NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER UNTIL AFTER THE MID TERM ELECTIONS HAVE OCCURED &THE NEW CONGRESS IS INSTALLED IN JANUARY 2011. THEN AS THE GOOD OLE BOYS SAY! tHE SHITN WILL HIT THE FAN!
Issa do something GREAT for America—start impeachment process !!
Sorry for the typos. Rah should be Rah:excounter should be encounter:larry should be Larry. Sorry my eyes are wearing out.
Rahm should be Rahm.

Thank you for your service to our country.
Sinclair as well took a polygraph test which when read by a Independent Agency verified that he answered all of the questions correct 99+% of the time.
Obama's polygraph examiner who was not even a qualified &certified polygrah operator failed Sinclair.
Lol! Do you think Obama's people were stting Sinclair up?
Obama's people do not play fair!
Correction:setting
His passport is more than likely doctored. This type of document is easily obtained from any crook for the almighty dollar or you can make one yourself on the internet if you have the skills. Don't make me laugh by showing me a present-day passport. Where is the passport when he travelled from Indonesia to the USA way back when? Why isn't that one put up for visibility. That passport is more than likely destroyed and so are the records. What we have here is a criminal running our country. God help us all.
MMFWV I think you are correct. I pray the military will stand by we the people and certainly not the sob in our white house. Hot Cougar I pray you are wright about the new congress. If that does not happen soon we will be living under a dictator and Shari Law!!!! As for his passport this b-s-a-d is a joke!!! One of his thug czars forced someone to make it. He thinks we Americans are stupid. Well I have to agree that many are. If it were not so that muslim communist would not be in our oval office!!
Carol Honey hang in there! Trust me!
You will see a total revolution occur over the next 180 days.
He's had 2 years for sure to have his pick of people to create a fake passport! As with his birth certificate! If those 2 documents doesn't look authenic by now nothing does!!! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!
Donna,
I agree! What bothers me is that even with overwhelming proof many especially the media are still protecting him.
Congress are all traitors,when they did not,not even one,OBJECT to the counting of the electoral votes Janurary 8,2009. Each congressman and each Senator swore an oath to the US Constitution to defend it against foreign and domestic enemies. GW had two and a half months to expose him and he didn't (makes him a traitor also). Just imagine how big this coup de tat has been to put SOB in the WH and then multiply it by ten thousand. This thang is HUGE. "This is it Rose."
Call JOHN BUEHNER—–877-851-6437——Tell him to have OBAMA IMPEACHED and that WE THE PEOPLE STAND BEHIND HIM.
IT IS TIME FOR US TO UNITE AND SHOW OBAMA WHY AMERICA IS SO GREAT——BECAUSE WE DON'T STAND BY,IDLE AND WATCH OBAMA DESTROY US—WE FIGHT. GO AND CALL AND SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
LETS GET HIM OUT NOW—GOD BLESS AMERICA
Suasanm,
Sad to say it but you are right!
firedoglake.com/2008/04/29/exposeobama-exposed/
OBAMA WHO? THINK ABOUT THIS!
WE HAVE A PRESIDENT BUT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HIS REAL NAME IS?
WHAT HIS TRUE DATE OF BIRTH IS OR AGE? WHAT COUNTRY HE WAS BORN IN?
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II,BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA,BARRY SAETARO,
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SOEBARKAH!
CRAZY!
CORRECTION:OBAMA STATEMENT PERTAINING TO THE CAR!
R- MEANS REPUBLICAN &IT'S DEFINITION IS REBUILD THE U.S.A. TO
IT'S PRIOR PRESTIGE &STANDING IN THE WORLD.
D-MEANS DEMOCRAT &IT'S DEFINITION IS DESTROY THE U.S.A
Is there any question that obama has intentions of turning this once great country into a socialist state relying on the government for their daily wants and needs. Shame on the media for allowing this man to escape proper journalistic review and reports on his past and his intentions. He is bringing America to the brink of bankruptcy and blaming GW Bush for this financial fiasco. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should have been reigned in or abolished a long time ago. Sen Lugar in 2000 warned both house finance committees of the impending financial collapse and was accused of manufacturing a problem where none existed. Those casting the blame on Lugar were Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Check the facts on this. Obama's goal is to keep unemployment high and extending unemployment benefits to keep more people on the government dole.
Where is the informatioh on the PASSPORT??
For this administration to go through"so much trouble"with secret meetings,bribery,payoffs,threats,sarcastic remarks publicly (how unpresidential),he who thinks 'he's funny',and then encouraging the NEA to participate in his propaganda,again,for this administration to go through "so much trouble'……. that is an immediate red flag to all of us and why aren't we all seeing this? I don't care how well he speaks,he was trained to speak like this,I don't care how much you like his basketball,he spends too much time entertaining himself,he's a Muslim bisexual Marxist with the biggest arrogance issue I've ever seen. He's absolutely sickning.
His skin color doesn't have anything to do with this,his integrity does.
BABS I AGREE! RACE IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Alert!!!!!!!!
