The Astroturf Flim-Flam


I learned a new word today: astroturfing.

Astroturfing in American English is a neologism for formal public relations campaigns in politics and advertising which seek to create the impression of being spontaneous "grassroots" behavior, hence the reference to the artificial grass, AstroTurf.

"The goal of such a campaign is to disguise the efforts of a political or commercial entity as an independent public reaction to some political entity—a politician, political group, product, service or event ... Astroturfing may be undertaken by an individual pushing a personal agenda or highly organized professional groups with financial backing from large corporations, non-profits, or activist organizations."
Oh my. Sounds rather back-handed, sneaky, even nefarious.

So who would do this and why would they do it?

Patriotism: Joe Biden Style


The man who would be VP:


   When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms.

  To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.

Rock Star Politicians


The media trend nowadays is to refer to some politicians as rock star politicians.

It has to do, I guess, with their popularity, their ability to attract a crowd.

The term almost always precedes any mention of The Clintons


- both Bubba

and the Beast,





 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and Barky Obama, 

though not Joe Biden nor John McCain.

Some words I associate with rock star: arrogant, temperamental, self-indulgent, ego-maniacal.

Do any of these sound like they could
be applied to Hilly, Billy and Barky?

Quite frankly, I would rather have people elected to make laws, to face off with Putin and fight (fight, not negotiate) terrorism be described as: capable, competent, trustworthy, honest.

But that's just my opinion.

Circle the Marines

I just read this little-known and certainly unseen-on-MSM 9-11 story over on BlackFive:

Wolf- Just came from the memorial ceremony here at NORTHCOM. LTC (CH) Robert Leivers led the group in a ceremony here at the headquarters. During the ceremony, he relayed this little-known story from the Pentagon on 9/11:
"During a visit with a fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, I had a chance to hear a first-hand account of an incident that happened right after Flt 77 hit the Pentagon.

The Chaplain told me what happened at a daycare center near where the impact occurred.

"This daycare had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do; there were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.

"Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, 'well, there we are- on our own.'

About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 others in tow. Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers. The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac and the Pentagon.

"Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing- they formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the West. Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off.

Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children."

MSM AWOL at RNC

The MainStreamMedia was in attendance at the Republican National Convention, sorta.

 Diane, Matt, Katie, Charlie, Brian, et al made sure that comparisons were made to the Obamessiah's coronation every chance they had; 

they made sure to show delegates at parties while New Orleans was being evacuated (even tho the convention activities were suspended and Monday was turned into a fund-raising for New Orleans day; 

But they did not show and barely mentioned the activities of the RNC Welcoming Committee. 

  Here are some photos of RNC Welcoming Committee 'protests':

A Republican supporter is surrounded and attacked 
 
Breaking windows just because
 
Kicking a cop, who is not allowed to do the same 
 
Showing their (dis)respect for the flag 
 
Yes, a fine bunch of upstanding young hoodlum punks hiding their faces while indulging their rights as Americans to "protest".

Un-Bloody-Believable: Company Policy


From the
TimesOnLine: Soldier Forced to Sleep in Car

A 24-year old soldier and veteran of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan was refused a hotel room at the Metro Hotel, Woking, Surrey, England, after he traveled to Surrey to assist with the funeral of a friend KIA.

Corporal Tomos Stringer of 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps, was told that "it was company policy not to accept members of the Armed Forces."
"The corporal, who was not in uniform, presented his warrant card when asked by the hotel for proof of identity. After being refused a room, he had to bed down in his car, with his wrist, broken during a convoy ambush, encased in plaster."

The hotel issued a belated apology after angry calls flooded its phone lines and after Corporal Stringer’s MP, Hywel Williams, Derek Twigg, the Defence Minister, and Bob Ainsworth, the Armed Forces Minister, wrote to the hotel.
“The Metro Hotel, Woking, sincerely regrets any upset caused towards Corporal Stringer and his family . . . The hotel management has always had an open-door policy to all its visitors and guests, including members of the military and Armed Forces.”
Oh, and "the receptionist made a mistake".
"Corporal Stringer, of 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps, has returned to Afghanistan. His mother, Gaynor Stringer, from Criccieth, North Wales, told The Times: “I’m very, very angry. It’s discrimination. They would never get away with it if it was against someone of ethnic origin.”
I wonder what the 'ethnicity' of the hotel management might be.

Way to Go, Joe


Joe Lieberman - US Senator, Democrat, liberal, and one of the few honorable men in Congress - in a speech at the RNC, urged Americans to ...
"... vote for the person you believe is best for our country, not for the party you happen to belong to."
and the person Senator Lieberman, liberal Democrat, believes to be the best person to lead our country ...
"I'm here to support John McCain because country matters more than party."
No doubt the liberal backlash - and Senator Lieberman's punishment - will be swift and terrible.

That's too bad.
