Limbaugh: White House Using Fed Arts Agency to Push Obama Agenda
by PubliusFrom El Rushbo:
Do you remember that NEA phone call? I think it was back in August, the 21st or the 25th, and it featured basically a coordination from the White House to the National Endowment for the Arts to promote Obama’s health care and parts of his domestic agenda. One of the artists on that call got hold of Breitbart and said they’re turning the National Endowment for the Arts and www.Serve.gov, the latest website out of the White House, into political instruments, and there are four pieces written on this at BigGovernment.com. But all it really exposes up ’til now is that the NEA was lying about their coordination with the Obama White House on spreading propaganda. This is the thing that George Will had a comment on This Week, said some laws were broken in this call. Then after some attention was focused on this they announced that the National Endowment for the Arts director of communications Yosi Sargent had been reassigned. They said he was fired but he was actually just reassigned.
A week later George Will wrote a Washington Post column on this and understandably a lot of people are infuriated about the politicization of the NEA and turning it into an Obama campaign. I don’t know why anybody is surprised about this. Folks, the private sector of this country is being gobbled up like Pacman on steroids. The idea the Obama administration would be using some left-wing agency like the NEA to spread his domestic propaganda is not a shock. There hasn’t been any evidence up ’til now, though, of Obama being involved in it, just the NEA. But that is until today. Now, the BigGovernment.com website has full audio and a full transcript. It’s 44 pages. There are 25 different audio sound bites. We’re putting together a couple of key elements of the sound bites from this page and we hope to have it in the next hour, but the transcript and the full audio at BigGovernment.com. Apparently the full transcript here shows the White House orchestrating this through a woman named Buffy Wicks with the White House Office of Public Engagement. Buffy Wicks works under Valerie Jarrett, who is at the right hand of Barack Obama, The Almighty.
Also in the call, orchestrating service in the name of Obama to the NEA — you gotta go out and serve, you gotta advance the agenda in service, the name of Obama, Nell Abernathy, director of outreach of the Corporation of National and Community Service, which is the independent agency that is the parent of the president’s United We Serve initiative. Now, they got rid of Yosi Sergeant, they threw him under the bus, they reassigned him within but what happens is by getting rid of this guy they’re trying to cover up the fact the White House is involved in using the NEA to spread Obama propaganda and as George Will has speculated, there have to be laws being violated here. The White House and Valerie Jarrett admit that by reassigning Yosi that something was wrong, a tantamount admission by their action. But the White House it turns out, according to Breitbart’s website, is in charge of the call, has ties to ACORN, even. We know that www.Serve.gov, we mentioned last week, all it is is an end run now that ACORN is in trouble, Serve.gov simply, if you call in there, if you go to their website, they’ll redirect you to various front community organizations all tied to the White House designed to spread the Obama agenda.

Gotta love Rush!
If anyone can and will always annoy the left more than this website, it is Rush Limbaugh.
Who better to lead the pushback against the Liberal Inquisition thank Limbaugh? "EVERYBODY EXPECTS…THE LIBERAL INQUISITION!" at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...
He has the voice…it's good to see him using it on this story.
Just when you thought this site couldn't get any better they bring out the Maha Rushie. Good show….
No doubt! The BIG GUN has spoken! (No wonder liberals are for gun control.)
Its teh Whie house using tax dollars to fund propaganda for it's own agenda… WOW… UNreal
I gotta hand it to Breitbart, he sure knows how to launch a site ina big way AND follow up with an even bigger scoop…..
"Ditto"
But what will become of this? The media will surely ignore it and the dems are in full control.
BTW, his commentary on liberal media manipulation and Marshal McLuhan today was pretty smart:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_09210...
McLuhan, like Alinsky, is actually someone we conservatives would benefit from going to school on.
Obama's response :
"Frankly, it's not really something I've followed closely. I didn't even know that the NEA was getting a whole lot of federal money."
Andrew the roll over ad at the right is really annoying for those of us trying to read…please don't do that anymore, let'em expand down not sideways into the print. Congratulations on the most important rollout this decade… I love this site…
I gotta one up ya Ryan
MEGA DITTOS!!!
FoxNews is running this story on it's home page this afternoon. http://www.foxnews.com
Just up on Drudge Report – Feds charge $290 Million Fraud for Obama backer.
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE58K...
Rush, ya gotta love the way he pokes his finger in the "eye" of the wrong doers of the world
"Twelve years ago, I saw what was wrong with the world and where the battle for Life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality and that my acceptance of that morality was its only power. I was the first of the men who refused to give up the pursuit of his own happiness in order to serve others."
I wish I had this kind of bang and staying power. (lol)
"To those of you who retain some remnant of dignity and the will to live your lives for yourselves, you have the chance to make the same choice. Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil."
"If you've understood what I've said, stop supporting your destroyers. Don't accept their philosophy. Your destroyers hold you by means of your endurance, your generosity, your innocence, and your love. Don't exhaust yourself to help build the kind of world that you see around you now. In the name of the best within you, don't sacrifice the world to those who will take away your happiness for it. "
"The world will change when you are ready to pronounce this oath:
I swear by my Life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man,
nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine. "
And you have to wonder, now knowing how the midstream media writes half-truths re:dem wrongdoing, what are they leaving out?
It is time to renounce The Great Leader and rise up as Americans.
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke~
Take heart: This IS the media now.
Rush has always been a truth seeker. When will the other side the dirty ones respond? Do they think they are the majority? I know in my heart for every corrupt Idiot I read about there are 20 people who loath them. This is our country I fought for it so did many of you. Our rights our laws and our Constitution must be protected!!!!
They will use everything that tax payers pay for, scum all of them.
It's like any other kind of ponzi scheme. Those involved in this manipulation will simply "fire" people carrying out the agenda and attempt to pubically apologize, but actually continue and seek new ways to leak their abuses.
Kind of makes sense that "organizers" like to "re-organize".

Help me understand why this exact article, and others, are also on Big Hollywood, however the authors are different.

http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/21/limbaugh-whit...
Uh, because they have different contributors posting news from external sources?
After reading "this exact article…and others," this is the first and only question you can come up with? Don't see any bigger issues that warrant concern? No wonder the statists are running rampant with their liberal facist ideals being ramrodded into all facets of our country.
Give the message to Rush it goes to 25 million+, both Libs and normal people.
The only HOPE I still have is that we have on our side Breitbart, James and Hanna (and the hidden camera), Rush, Levin and the Sleeping Giant— 300,000,000 Americans. Do the math; 535 vs 300,000,000 it is far from over. For more peace of mind: check out oathkeepers.org

Fox News is reporting that the Department of Justice is starting an investigation of ACORN: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/21/justic...
Unfortunately, the ACORN investigation will probably have to wait until DOJ slices and dices the CIA.
There is a solution
The power for change is in YOUR hands……….http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1...
OUR 545 Employees, have failed in their collective obligations to US.
"Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses – provided they have the gumption to manage their own employees."
Hope your well Scott. I have been to your website and wow lots of good stuff there. take care and God Bless
Exactly why they ALL need to be in prison.
Yep. Gotta love Rush. The NEA story hasn't gotten the attention it deserves until now. Let see what spin the left will put on it to justify spending our tax dollars on "art" biased in favor of Obama and his policies. You can bet that had nothing been said about the schools broadcast he certainly would have used it to indoctrinate them as was originally intended. Now he is baiting starving artists to do his bidding on the government dole. Shameless.
Is there a way to turn off the moving Twitter display on the right side?? It is so distracting that I will not be able to use this website anymore. I cannot focus on what I am reading while print is moving in the corner of my eye. Help!!!!!
Stop!!! If you keep identifying these incompetent slime balls….Obama will have to keep promoting them to higher levels of incompetency…pretty soon he will be replacing himself with Mickey Mouse…isn't that one of the guys who ACORN registered to vote?
There are actually a few Republicans left in Congress. If laws are broken, which seems to be the case, they have to call on the justice department to investigate. With this kind of pressure coming at Obama from every direction, I look for several of his advisors to resign pretty soon. Even his Attorney General may have to step down.
Andrew Breitbart is a great American patriot and hero!
The tentacles of the left wing reach into every facet of the government and this started a long time ago. They learned to use the "it's for the children" to get money from the Feds…
Remember when Obama told that school kid to watch what he puts on facebook? He could have told the kid to work hard, be honest, tell the truth. But what was Obama's advice? Lie, cover up, scrub off your internet tracks. It seems like Obama's chickens are coming home to roost!
"The Justice Department's inspector general has agreed to investigate whether ACORN has applied for or received any DOJ grant money, in the wake of bipartisan criticism of the community activist group's operation. "
I think this just means that the DOJ is looking into if ACORN got any $ from the DOJ.
Here is another corruption story on Drudge:
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE58K...
[...] 21, 2009 · 1 Comment …he’s using federal funding for the arts to push his socialist agenda [...]
Its worse than that christopher. He is using government agencies as part of his non-stop campaign. I think we need to have an real investigation. How many of these artists getting grants are doing pro-Obama art? Does the agency disallow pro-liberty art from getting grants?
Laws were broken and this is directly linked to the Oval Office.
This is bigger than the ACORN story.
This means the bureaucracy is being turned into a part of the Democrat Party. Thats a major Constitutional crisis.
RUSH be lurkin. Go get'em RUSH. Thank you BIG GOVERNMENT for doing the jobs americans just won't do.
You are the NEW AND GREATLY IMPROVED 60 MINUTES
So if the people disagree with you, Mr President, you’re gonna shove it down our throats with your propaganda, arent you? And get your left wing minions to help you.
If I see one of your posters around town, im gonna tear it down and BURN IT
You’re a pathetic loser, Mr President.
Rush, you are DA MAN!!!
unbelievable…I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that all this garbage ends this "regime" soon.
Try to be positive my friend. I know it's hard!
I feel like a kid in a candy store. I keep on waiting for the next branch to fall. Keep it up Andrew…! The people are with you!
Hope and Change.
I sure hope things change right quick, the furure of our Republic hangs in the balance.
Speak out.
Use your E-mail address book to spread the word. Attend a Tea Party.
This thing is snowballing and Leftist lies are being exposed.
I think their lies and corruption are spreading quicker than Obamas Health Care Scam is being sold. Quite frankly, ACORN and now this NEA brouhaha will bog him down worse than Monica's blue dress. He just got emasculated. I wonder if anyone told Charles Gibson to tell Robert Gibbs…………..
I think it is not Obama's fault that his ego is as big as Saturn. He surrounded himself with suckers singing kumbaya all the time. Wick, Yosi and the rest were so engrossed serving their Master Obama they don't even realize if they committing a crime or not.
Lets FIRE that ass !!!
We, the citizens of the United States of America, aware of our civil rights and in an effort to stop funding to corrupt organizations, hereby express our disapproval of the US Governments lack of attention to the corruption within.
We are aware of the corruption within Acorn, who has received more then 53 million of our tax dollars. We feel corruption exist in many offices and branches of the US Government. We have made repeated attempts to express our concerns, these attempts have been well documented. We feel our immediate and long term future is in jeopardy if this issue is not addressed immediately.
On the basis of the above, we respectfully call on Congress to pass legislation that mandates the immediate investigation of all offices and branches of the US Government. "Corruption Elimination Act" We also request that any party suspected of corrupt activities be immediately suspended of their duties until a thorough investigation is done.
If immediate action is not taken, we will be forced to pursue our legal rights and potentially take part in a Class Action lawsuit against the US Government. We hope our Voices will be heard, and this matter can be resolved in a timely manner.

how idiotic ! the lefty artists were already promoting barack, they did not need to be 'organized'. if they continue with this sort of thing, this administration is going to end up making watergate look like a lark.
Hey guys , If they dont put one of my comments on here does that mean it was to racey ? All I said was that Bob Beckel was a D!(K head !
Biden is quoted as saying today, 'if Republicans get control back then everything Barrack and I are trying to do will fail.' Or something like that. But like Lucianne G. says,' then let's roll.!'
I really dont need to drink when I post on here ! LOL !!!
Eye patch on right eye ? Duct tape ? Spray paint ? Or maybe just grow up and deal with it ?
I would like to see a background profile on Valerie Jarrett. It seems to me she has just as much power in the administration as Rahm Emmanuel. She was quick to take the bow in introducing Van Jones; she has deep ties to Michelle OBama and the relationship goes back to the college years. There is definitely some smoke here!
Can you say Running Man ? Anybody remember that movie ?
I find it a distraction also.
Yes, Galt, you are correct. But getting there takes work.
Are you a precinct committeeman? In the Republican Party? If not, you should be! There's lots of vacancies!
“We the people” ultimately determine the the winners of the respective parties’ primary contests. Too many conservatives do nothing but complain about “the Republican Party.” It’s not static; it’s a reflection of its voting members — its precinct committeeman. Trent, do you even know what a precinct committeeman is? I’ll bet not.
Fifty per cent of the Republican Party precinct committeeman slots are vacant and were during the 2008 election cycle. Want at more conservative Republican Party. Then join it as a precinct committeeman and encourage other conservatives to do the same. You would, thereby be helping the Republican Party go from a divided, weak party that is at half strength to a strong, vibrant conservative Republican Party at full strength. Precinct committeemen elect the Party leadership and can vote to endorse candidates in the Republican primary elections. If conservatives would flock into the Party NOW in droves to fill up the empty precinct committeeman slots, it would send a shock wave through the Republican Party and the political world. The Party would no longer have a 50-50 split between moderates and conservatives; instead, it conservatives would have a 75 per cent to 25 per cent advantage over the moderates. It’s not hard to become a precinct committeeman and it does not take much time — every state has different requirements; none are onerous.
McCain acts as he does because he has nothing to fear from the status quo. Change it, and you’ll change him. His election campaign called to ask that I, a precinct committeeman, endorse his campaign. Any candidate ever call you for an endorsement. Precinct committeeman influence other voters and get to elect the leadership and endorse primary contests.
Event the self-identified conservatives in the Republican Party will not tell conservatives about this strategy to take back the Party from the moderates. Why? Because they, too, are AFRAID of a backlash against all incumbents. They want to get reelected — that’s the prime motivator of all incumbents.
Go here to learn more: http://www.theprecinctproject.wordpress.com Then get in touch with your local GOP and volunteer to become a precinct committeeman.

American first, conservative second, Republican Party precinct committeeman by necessity.
"I didn't know ACORN was getting a whole lot of money" . "I didn't know Rev. wright was a racist" ." I didn't know William tried to blow anybody up" I didn't know" "I didn't know" "I didn't know". WTF ??? And THEY put this clown, that don't know nothin, in the highest office in the land ??? You got to be effin kiddin me !!!
Rush, you are looking magnificently evil these days! You do a Great Satan Proud, son!
Creating a distraction on the screen is what lost so many tv stations their viewers. Why must Everyone be subjected to this onslaught? Is the programmer unable to give us a button to turn it off?
[...] post linked above. New audio released by Big Government and posted by Patrick Courrielche Reveals that infact he White House was using the NEA to push their partisian agenda. Thats how should I say, illegal? No TweetBacks yet. (Be the first to Tweet this [...]
Two things to remember fro our President about the CIA investigation and Robert Holder
"No one is above the law"
"I cannot tell Mr Holder not to investigate if a crime was committed"
Remember that Mr. President, remember that.
More good stuff on Glenn Becks chalkboard tonight….
Funny thing is no one is suing Fox nor Glenn for Defamation of Character – weird isn't it !

"NATIONAL CITY, Calif. — Police say a worker with the activist group ACORN who was caught on video giving advice about human smuggling to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute had reported the incident to authorities.
National City police said Monday that Juan Carlos Vera contacted his cousin, a police detective, to get advice on what to with information on possible human smuggling."

Just saw this news item on Yahoo
.
"Democratic fundraiser indicted (in NY) for alleged Ponzi scheme"
quote: "Nemazee served as national finance chairman for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and later raised money for President Barack Obama after her primary defeat. He also was Sen. John Kerry's finance chairman in New York for his 2004 bid for president."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090922/ap_on_re_us/u...
That guy Nemazee is a real fraud…gave a lot of false info to get that money…read about him a couple weeks ago…even identity theft
Between BH and BG there are almost a dozen postings related to this story.
Since early this morning, (Cal. time, when this story was first posted at 9:00 am), every hour on the hour, I've purposely clicked on over to HuffPo, KOSKids and DU, and did a search on this story.
As of 5:50 pm pacific time, it’s been a big Zero on any hits over there by any of them.
I wonder why?
Are they just now waking up after an all night bender?
Not Over.
This story really bothers me. What government recruits artists for propoganda?? Very Leni Riefenstahlish. Even the Hope posters look a 30's postage stamp featuring some long dead dictator. I never understood the appeal of that poster. It bothered me.
On second thought, the Hope poster makes me think of East Germany in the 50's.
Thanks man! I really appreciate that!
All is well here; just getting ready for some Monday Night Football.
I hope that all is well in your neck o' the woods.
Have a good one!
I'm sorry folks but nothig will come of this..Most of America does not care about anytyhing except "who will win Survivor" – It's truly a sad stat of affairs here in the United States.
I will keep the presure up on my Senators but in the long run maybe and I do say maybe some "small" fish may fry. That's about it – America will not wake up until another 9/11 or worse happens.
"Andrew the roll over ad at the right is really annoying for those of us trying to read…please don't do that anymore"
I second Docjohn's motion — I end up spending time adjusting window size to hide the ^$#%^&# scroll-down thingy, so I can get about the business of reading the articles.
Two answers: (1) Publius is a pseudonym for the BG editorial panel as a whole. Presumably, Sullivan (actually, Joel McCrea) was the guy at BH who quoted Rush.
(2) Actually, the "More…" link on BH takes you to the BG story anyway. Same posting….
Hopefully Rush will continue to pound on this……
"This is not the NEA I knew"…..BHO
To find the worm in the acorn, one need look no further than the oval office.
It has become apparent to me, upon reading these recent revelations, that the new head of the Republican Party is not, in fact, Limbaugh, Beck, or Drudge/Breitbart, as the media would have you be, but instead we that are pushing for more investigations and more accountability from all politicians. If the Republican Party were smart, it would follow OUR lead and push whatever the people are crying out for: investigations. Is the Democrat Party too far gone? I like to think not; they should join in on the cry out as well. But this issue transcends parties, and should be a push from an American stand-point.
What a pompous windbag hypocrite.
The artists' hypocrisy disgust me. These are people of the same mentality that screamed for the painting of The Virgin Mary covered in excrement to be allowed when it was objected to by conservatives and catholics. Now, they are all too willing to succumb to government control when it meets their agenda. This is yet another example so called "principled" people who will throw excriment on their principles as long as it fits their idea of what is right.
I asked a simple question out of curiosity. Looks like, at least in your case,I received a simply negative answer.
I consider myself to be a true Blue Dog, and as such I consider your retort to be both assuming and erroneous.
Lay off of the KOOL AID.
Thank you!
So, if we fling feces on photo's of The Great Leader, we would not be considered dangerous subversives? Cool! Neat! Groovy!
We be artists!
