Obama’s Town Hall Meeting Casting Actors For Audience

To finish the call:

“….you are interested in or passionate about. Also, provide a recent photo and short description of your political views.”
Submission deadline: Oct. 14. No pay.”

Heh.

I guess they’ll be purdy AND opinionated in all the right directions.

It is Hope & Change Eyewash. Follow it up with Bourbon Mouthwash for the antidote. 😉

More plants. Whoreticulture ?

Are they looking for character actors or method actors?

I think Obama needs a new script writer! I’ll write him a friggin script.

Work on, My medicine work!

Thus credulus fools are caught.

Obama has recently said in a stump speech, quote…

“a Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat”

there we have it, the nearest thing to military service Obama will ever see. Unfortunately it will be against Americans, the manchild just can’t get anything quite right. Actually, at the time he was looking for support from his fellow misdirected and attempting to be manly, manly at the same time, epic fail.

I remember my brother and I being loaded up in my grandparents Studebaker to go see The Longest Day. I know Obama will be heading out of country right after his “Longest Day” for a 12 day excursion and I doubt “all hat and no cattle” will have it in him for “hand to hand” when he returns.

Just my humble opinion.

The “diversity” they are seeking= dedicated leftist morons.

The word “hypocrisy” has its roots in Greek theater. Obama is just getting back to his roots!

The narcissist is a homosexual circle jerk.

It’s so odd that you have this Obama-is-a-gay hang up. Most conservatives who so loudly hate gays end up being closet cases. Not you, of course.

What do you call an audience full of plants?

A whole lotta turnips?
A hot house?
Kudzu?

Or
Just a thicket of thistle.

Daily Kos has the www version of Astro-Turf war going:

ere at Daily Kos, we are going to engage in very different, but still very important, form of election activism. It’s a type of activism no one else is working on, and it is well-suited to our medium as a blog. It’s a grassroots-based search engine optimization campaign, which I call Grassroots SEO for short.

….. not only is it possible for us to use our hyperlinks to impact what people find when they search for information on candidates, but we would be foolish not to do so in a way that benefited our preferred candidates. We are already impacting search engine rankings whenever we post any hyperlink anywhere, so we need to make sure the way we use hyperlinks helps result in our preferred political outcomes.

……once the Kos reader signs up for the program, they access a spread sheet (conveniently saved on Google docs) which lists the 98 most competitive House campaigns, along with the name of the Republican candidate in those campaigns. The list is based on the usual sites that all election junkies follow (Swing State, FiveThirtyEight, Cook, Rothenberg, and Sabato).

…as a group, we need to find and choose the damaging articles on Republican candidates that we want undecided voters to read. It is only after finding the articles that we can push them up search engine rankings. As such, finding those articles is the main purpose of this diary. (We are targeting House campaigns since Senate campaigns are so much more difficult to influence, due to their extensive media coverage.

Next they want participants to do their own searches and find the most damaging articles they can with these stipulations:

* Title damaging in and of itself. Not many people who see the article will actually click through and read it.
* Name of candidate in title. In addition to a catchy title, it is key that the name of the candidate appear in the title itself.
* …Find negative articles from as high profile a news organization as possible. When high profile can’t be found, then local news outlets will do just fine. Whatever you find, make sure said news organization is at least ostensibly claims to be non-partisan.
* …Already has a high Google ranking. Increasing the visibility of the article will be a lot easier if the article already has a decent Google ranking. For our purposes, top 100 is OK, and top 50 is good. Something already in the top 20, or even the top 10, would be awesome. (Note: make sure you sign out of Google before conducting keyword searches on the candidate’s full name to test the Google ranking of the article).
* Name of candidate in URL. The SEO effort will be greatly enhanced if the name of the candidate appears in the URL of the article.
* Keep it short… Keep it recent…

In other words one of the phoniest of the top tier blogs wants its imaginary readers to do this.
What will really happen is Markos himself will turn his powerful program that links to Daily Kos a million times a day (to make his site look good) toward auto searching for damaging articles on Google and then linking to them huge numbers of times a day, pushing them to the top of a search list.

Astroturf!

@Anna – You said:

What do you call an audience full of plants?

In this case – Democrats…

“What do you call an audience full of plants?”

If they’re Democrats, someplace tropical…they all have their palms out!

This would be a chance for actors to get parts in movies or TV shows. If they can convince the viewers that they still believe in Obama, they can get acting jobs anywhere.

@anticsrocks: #26 “demo=favorable participant planted in audience; plant=refers to IQ of said participants”

I disagree. The average plant (the ones with roots) have a higher IQ than the “demoplant” the ones that don’t bare any fruit.

Maybe we should just get used to Obama’s Potemkin Village.
He makes up opponent’s arguments then slams the imaginary argument to dust.
He has actors in his ”townhalls.”

Now we are learning even his Government Motors car, the Chevy Volt is a complete phony!
We were once told it had a 270mile rage counting both charge and gas.
But at the very best charge and with all amenities OFF it only has a range of 25-50 miles!

Now we learn it is really only capable of getting 26 mpg at freeway speeds.
It gets 31mpg in town.

My Mini Cooper does better than that!
And it is 3 years old!
31 in town, 39 on the freeway.

Think.

$41,000 for the VOLT
$21,000 for the Mini.

It NEVER pays for itself.
Hope Obama has enough Gaia worshipers to buy some, because those feel-gooder’s are the only fools who will.

The question that comes to my mind is clear: Who is the casting director? What is the name of the individual who will be going through applications and choose the performers pretending to be an audience?

What does the rest of the MSM have to say about this?
