Dog Whistle Propaganda

The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer said America wasn’t over slavery, Jim Crow and Colonialism in an interview with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central Monday in New York.

Appearing on The Daily Show, he was asked about how he speaks to crowds about race.

"You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives.  But that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives, that we have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we've made has been real and extraordinary, if I'm communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack of appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn't mean that they're not open to learning and caring about equality and justice and that I can win them over because there is goodness in the majority of people."

Duane Townsend of The Hill insists “flyover country” elected Donald Trump because he “pandered to their bigotry and anger at Washington, DC.”

Townsend’s diatribe purports the silent majority has been “exceedingly adept at dominating the narrative in virtually every election cycle.  They’re proficient at dog whistle propaganda” and disseminating tragic half-truths and fake news.  This unabashed fabulist went a step too far describing Middle America Christian values as “cultural fascism.”

A call to arms has been sounded.  If you are convinced Obama will go quietly on January 20th, please know he and his legion of minions have other plans for America.

Obama is equipped to build bases of power outside traditional institutions. And that is exactly what he is doing.

Organizing for Action (OFA) is Obama’s equivalent of the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons built Clintonworld around staffers and harvesting money. Obama Inc. is being built around organizing and activism. Like Clintonworld, it will be a network encompassing a variety of political and non-profit institutions. Unlike them, it will be much less focused on directing money to its bosses in preparation for an election. Instead it will function like a traditional leftist movement, merging influence operations with crowd-sourced mobilization. 

Daniel Greenfield warns, “OFA will be far more dangerous in the wild than the Clinton Foundation ever was. The Clintons hoped to ride back to power on a giant wave of money. Obama is taking a much more radical course.”

While The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer wraps up business at the White House switching between praising Trump and offering him patronizing advice, the left’s messiah is preparing to deploy a network that will dominate the Democrats and set the agenda on the left.  The aftershocks of Trump’s victory in November sent the party reeling back into his arms.  Democrats face their worst crisis since the 1920s.  Who will be his heir?  Biden appears to have decided he will not seek the presidency and two-time loser Hillary is done.  Stick a fork in her.  The bench is thin.  Sen. Cory Booker (NJ), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Kamala Harris (CA), Gov. John Hickenlooper (CO), Sen Amy Klobuchar (MN) or soon-to-be First Lady Michelle Obama.

Greenfield warns, “Obama believes that he can rule America from outside the White House. And he might be right.”

So, Mr. Townsend, that dog whistle you fear is real—but not for the reason you stated.  Andrew Breitbart, before he died in 2012 said, “I bought a dog whistle.  I bought a dog whistle factory and I’m giving you dog whistles.  And we’re going to listen to every word that comes out of your mouth, and we’re going to hold you to the same standard that you hold us which is an impossible one and you’re going to have a hell of a time in 2012 because America’s finally woken to your Saul Alinksy bullshit tactics and we’re coming to get you.”

“We Accept All Major Credit Cards, Personal Checks And Large Sacks Of Cash”

In Fred Barnes’ latest piece at The Weekly Standard, he blithely asks:
“Why do presidents get in trouble in their second terms? They think they have a mandate when they don’t. They believe they’re stronger politically than they really are. They’re convinced they can get away with things other presidents couldn’t. They think too highly of themselves personally and act accordingly.”
OFA (Organizing for Action) has shapeshifted from Organizing for America to a disturbing tax exempt social welfare group unbound by campaign restrictions and no precedent in national politics.  An extension of the West Wing, it is stocked with campaign fanatics devoted exclusively to Teh Won’s second-term schemes.

Apparently, its function is to liberate our perfumed potentate from having to deal face-to-face with Republicans.  Its objective is to raise $50 million by rewarding donors who pay $500,000 access to quarterly meetings with the emperor, er, dictator.

Astonishingly, Fred Wertheimer, campaign finance reform advocate with Democracy 21 ranted:
“Organizing for Action is unlike any entity we have ever seen before tied to a president.  This group is so tied to Obama himself, that it creates opportunities for corporations and individuals to buy corrupting influence with the administration—and at a minimum, to create the appearance of such influence.”
Today, Wertheimer tweeted this:
