Score another for New Media/Blogosphere
Professor Jacobson: DOING THE JOB THE ALLEGEDLY PROFESSIONAL MEDIA WON’T:
The latest wildfire spreading through the media and blogosphere is that armed neo-Nazis are patrolling Sanford, FL, in anticipation of trouble
if George Zimmerman is not charged in the killing of Trayvon Martin. In what has become a prime example of media malpractice, none of the major
publications spreading the rumors bothered to check with local law enforcement. I did, and the Sanford Police deny any indication of neo-Nazi patrols. . . .For The Daily Beast, Huffington Post,Mediaite, and The Daily News to spread such thinly-sourced claims without verification at a time when racial tensions already are high is irresponsible in the extreme.
“Remember when people were saying that if we left news reporting to the blogosphere we’d just get a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors and spin?”

More Gas Pump Blues
Post It at the Pump
GOP targets president on gas prices with #Obamaonempty Twitter campaign
“The White House recently earned
accolades for its #40dollars Twitter
campaign, launched to help push through
a payroll tax cut extension.
Republicans are now running their own
campaign, #Obamaonempty, urging
Twitter users across the country to snap
photos of prices at the gas pump when
they fill up.
It’s part of a concerted effort by the GOP
to pin increasing gas prices on President
Obama after he trashed Republicans and
defended his energy record last Thursday,
POLITICO’s Darren Goode reported
Tuesday.
The RNC Tweeted: “Today when you are at
the station, take a picture of the pump and
tweet us the photo- use the hashtag #
ObamaonEmpty. Great response so far!”
Twitterers from far and wide have sent in
pics: In Shreveport, La., regular hit $3.53 ,
in Virginia Beach it went to $3.63 , and in
New Port Richey, Fl., it was $3.75 ,
according to the submissions.
One Tweeter, @j_heals, pulled the two
campaigns together. Senate staffer Jeni
Healy Tweeted a photo showing a tank of
gas cost her $65.81 : “@RNC ugh @
whitehouse what $40 doesnt cover: A tank
of gas Payroll “tax break” wont help at the
gas pump #ObamaOnEmpty.”
As per the Politico .

Street Art From The Right

GUERRILLA STREET ART: Reader George
Warner emails: “Saw this on a gas pump in
Pennsylvania. So, I went inside and
purchased a gift card with Tim Geithner
bills stamped ‘Tax Cheat.’ Heh.”
Long may “guerrilla street art” reign . I just had to borrow this from Professor Reynolds , it was too good to pass by
This , along with the budding gas pump post it campaign is what makes my days fun .

Big Brother Is Here
Warrantless cellphone surveillance is becoming more the exception than the rule . This along with the militarization of law enforcement and the average citizen being arrested for merely videoing these alleged “public servants” doing their job should be one thing that unites left and right .
Where is the outrage ? Could it be that the ACLU , having turned into a tool of the progressive left , has abdicated any real authority when speaking of civil rights ?
Their selectivity as to which rights they support has rendered them mute or nearly so in the face of this onslaught of Statism .
Solutions ? I don’t know the answer except to expose , expose , expose . Don’t just watch and shake your head . Get involved . Video the miscreants and send them to me .
Visit our site and help me get it off the ground . We have designed YouViewed.com specifically to facilitate the bringing of sunshine to this creeping Statism . More soon .

Bloomberg is a complete A..h..e . He exemplifies exactly what is wrong with government and the progressive ideology . The saddest part of all is that in NY he passes for a Republican ….at least to some.

Lol….the chickens are finally coming home to roost
“Obamacare was going to be such a big hit that even the bitter clingers would have to put down their guns and their Bibles long enough to thank the Democrats for this wonderful new benefaction.” WRM http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2012/03/29/the-health-care-disaster-and-the-miseries-of-blue/
As I’ve said before “you gotta love this New Media ” . Finally, the playing field is being leveled. God bless Al Gore as his invention …. LOL
Astroturf Fail …… Again
A MAJOR MEDIA MATTERS FAILURE: #
StopRush turns into #
MediaMattersStopped.
What I notice is that they keep starting
these things up, then people on the right
run with them and don’t let them change
the subject or bring things to a close. In
the old days, they could stir up a three-day
media storm and people on the right
would just sort of hunker down. Now it’s
pushback every time, and the old strategies
don’t seem to be working as well.
Key bit: “The biggest damage has been to
Media Matters, which put its reputation
for intimidating advertisers on the line, and
failed. Media Matters wasn’t defeated by
Limbaugh. Media Matters was defeated by
tens of thousands of conservatives who
recognized that this was not about
Limbaugh or what Limbaugh said.”

H/T to the good Professor
Another example of the astroturfing Left running into the Grassroots with predictable results . You gotta love this ” New Media ” .
How will us ignorant “flyover” clingers ever be able to master this here technology ?
Just watch us and pay the price for your endless underestimation of your opponent .
