Recruiting Propagandists

Monday 13 February 2012 - Filed under Uncategorized

Apparently the Obama campaign is recruiting people to serve on propaganda truth squads in order to discuss his presidential record with undecided voters. CBS:

President Obama’s re-election team on Monday rolled out a campaign to recruit two million supporters to help debunk attacks on the president’s record and hit back at his Republican rivals.

Called the “Truth Team,” the new effort will engage Obama supporters online and in person, encouraging them to communicate with undecided voters about the president’s record.

I thought the mainstream media was acting as his “truth squad”. I mean, they sit here and talk to me every night trying to debunk attacks on the president’s policies. You know, like the one where he signed in to law the newfound ability to arrest an American citizen on American soil, and hold him indefinitely without charge or trial. Or starting new wars which set the stage for dozens of militia factions fighting over control of the remnants of Libya. Or killing hundreds of people via his ramped up drone attack program.
