From ABC News:The Obama campaign is today beginning a new effort to enlist and educate at least 2 million supporters for a “grassroots communications team” they’re calling the Truth Team.
“The goal is to ensure that when Republicans attack President Obama’s record, grassroots supporters can take ownership of the campaign and share the facts with the undecided voters in their lives,” the campaign said in a statement.

Ahh, Florida- Obama’s cyber bullies and more traditional brownshirts have us in their cross-hairs. Regular readers of the Shark Tank know that this site is already on these “truth squads” radar in a big way- Media Matters, Think Progress, and countless numbers of progressives without a noble cause monitor and troll this site. Now this horde of drones will be fully equipped with talking points and agitprop straight from the Obama Campaign in an undertaking that would no doubt make Vladimir Lenin’s apparatchiks proud.
Barack Obama has been already defeated in the sense that there is no compelling rationale that can be advanced for his re-election, and no defense can be made of his actual record in office. These “truth squads” (“Truthiness” Squads, perhaps?) must necessarily distract, distort, obfuscate, deny, blame, and lie in order to weave together a patchwork defense of their American Idol. They must divert attention from the real world effects of Obama’s legislative accomplishments- the so-called “Stimulus” Plan, ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, etc.
They must have you believe that his unconstitutional power grabs, DOJ scandals, crony capitalism, venture socialism, and backdoor regulations that circumvent Congress really don’t matter and instead divert attention to the weaknesses of Obama’s eventual general election opponent. Expect that these “truth squads” will want to focus almost exclusively on the recent downward trend in the U3 unemployment rate- never mind that we are still in the midst of record sustained unemployment- while also ignoring countless numbers of far more troubling economic indicators.
“If the other guys are going to run a campaign based on misrepresenting the president’s record – and their own — we have two options: sit back and let these lies go unchallenged, or fight back with the truth. We’re fighting back.” Deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter
Not only will Obama’s version of “the truth” be advanced with threats and intimidation rather than with convincing appeals to pure reason, it is likely that these efforts will also be increasingly assisted by members of law enforcement, as they were in Missouri in 2008.
It’s hard not to feel a bit like Aragorn at the Black Gate at this moment as we prepare for the unleashing of untold numbers of misguided souls who are eager and willing to prosecute the greatest campaign of spin, misinformation, disinformation, slander, and lies ever known to man– all of their efforts in the service of a very darkened individual who is gleefully dividing the country while running roughshod over the constitutional safeguards of our republic.Are you prepared with the convincing facts, figures, arguments, and principles that will convince those swing voters, independents, and even apolitical types that we must stop Barack Obama in November? The progressives are coming…
