I’d say this is unbelievable, but it really isn’t. If Obama isn’t lying in some form or fashion, he isn’t awake.

THE HILL – A Texas Republican on Monday said President Obama’s gun control campaign is a fraud based on fake messages over Twitter.

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) accused Obama of trying to make support for his position look stronger than it really is by flooding Twitter with messages from people who don’t exist.

“Obama’s anti-gun campaign is a fraud,” Stockman said. “Obama’s supporters are panicking and willing to do anything to create the appearance of popular support, even if it means trying to defraud Congress,” he added. “I call upon the president to denounce this phony spam campaign.”

Stockman said that in response to Obama’s call for people to tweet their congressman in support of gun control legislation, he received just 16 tweets. But he said all of these messages were identical, and that a closer look at them revealed that only six were from real people.

“The other 10 are fake, computer-generated spambots,” his office said in a press release. As evidence, he said these 10 tweets use default graphics and names, and have not engaged in any interaction with other people. Two of the tweets were sent at nearly the same time, and both follow just one person: Brad Schenck, Obama’s former digital strategist.

Obama's fake tweets aside I had an encouraging encounter yesterday when a young checkout clerk at a Dollar General engaged me in a discussion about the devaluing of the dollar. He knew and was worried about it. Good news that not everyone is in a zombie state of denial.

“I call upon the president to denounce this phony spam campaign.” The problem is, Obama himself is a phony spam campaign. Worst. President. Ever.

This just goes to show that there is NO SUPPORT for the President or for his idiotic gun control legislation. I would even venture to say that if it were not for the cheating and stealing of the election there is no support for the President. While he did get overwhelming votes interpreted as some kind of blessing or mandate then why cheat in all Blue States, manipulating voter ID and having illegals to vote? Additionally, if he has a mandate for gun control, then why fake it? Fake it because there is no support or mandate and Congress should vote NO on any gun control legislation. Obama's default position is to deceive and lie.

Thxs for posting scoop!

Rep Stockman really is on the ball! He must have seen this on twitter yesterday.

I came across some tweets by conservatives, warning about the attempt to get that hashtag trending by using throw-away accounts, all 'represented' by the famous egg av, all started that same day.

So I had a look at it, and blimey - there were hundreds of them, mostly bald eggs, and all saying exactly the same ('I'm one of the 92% of Americans for gun control ...').

I thought to myself that was a pretty poor effort by the o-bots, not even managing some variations in the tweeted texts. So blatant, so childishly, transparently and obviously a scam.

Rep Stockman obviously looked it up, he started tweeting about this yesterday evening.

He may have got 16 tweets, but there were hundreds.

I'm very glad that he picked up on this, and I hope his colleagues will as well.

This deserves huge publicity (not that the LyingscreamingMeejah will provide it) - and perhaps you all might like to draw the attention of your congress critters to this obvious fraud.

OMG this cant be.

Every time I look up Obama is taking a piss at me.

I wish it weren't so, I wish he'd stop,

All he cares about is getting his hands on my damn crop.

He wants to take the guns, no defense for me

He and Dianne Feinstein can kiss my a$$...tax free.

I end this poem here, I do have more to say

but if I keep going, I will be here all damn day.

Finally! An elected official calling out the nonsense. It's not just with gun control. Remember "astro-turfing?" This is community organizing 101.

They do the same thing on newsblogs, Facebook, and other venues.

They send out talking points and scripts that the "low information voter" (read: useful idiot) then takes forward and uses.

Same for talk radio. see: seminar callers

Same old playbook folks, different mediums.

Mr. Obama certainly has perfected the art of technology...It's a shame that he uses it in such a dubious manner. The conservatives better get on board, because 5 minutes of face time on FOX won't cut it, or 2014 will be a liberal footnote

OK....now we are getting closer to the truth. Remember people.....the left stay true to their habits. First, fake fraudulent voting and now fake tweets? I think that the organization, True to the Vote, needs some gov't financing (well that won't happen) or financing from the Super Pacs to increase their size and start auditing ballot boxes (precincts) across the hot spots of our nation because the left rarely stray from their gospel book "Rules for Radicals". First stop should be Va. Beach, Va and Northern Va. Only two Democratic strongholds in Virginia out of THIRTEEN Districts (eleven are GOP) and Obama takes the whole state....we need some serious checking!

"Only two Democratic strongholds in Virginia out of THIRTEEN Districts...and Obama takes the whole state...."

That is the way the left works, they control the vote count, they control the vote. If they had to play fair they loose… the left is a minority, posing as a majority, rigging the results to steal power.

Darrell Griffin

I agree, I grew up in Va. Beach and now live in Central VA. No ID, no vote.

Personally, I think early voting should be abolished. Just gives Dems more time to stuff the box.

I wouldn't put anything pass these creeps. As a matter of fact, when I had a flat tire on election day morning the first thing that went through my mind was that a lib operative did it to keep me from the polls. Seriously, that's the vein in which I think of these creeps. I have little respect for them and trust them for/with nothing.

Like I've said for years now, the War on Reality wages on. Unless someone in the mainstream media is willing to come forward and denounce this charlatan for who he is, all is lost.

tinlizzieowner

Somebody did.

Bob Woodward (hardly a conservative), called Nixon 'a liar' (which he was) and the liberals cheered.

Bob Woodward (still hardly a conservative), called Obama 'a liar' (which he is) and the liberals jeered.

Until the general public comes to grips with the blatant situational hypocrisy of the media, all is lost.

They've been able to hold the economy together with plywood and duct tape, giving a false sense of security. When those people start hurting he's going to fall very hard.

Here's another little thing. Lately late night talk show hosts like Leno for instance, are doing more Obama jokes. Stupid little jokes, nothing malicious or sarcastic but Obama jokes, none the less. The writers are decidedly liberal but even they know when there is something out there to make fun of, for an audience reaction. ;-)

tinlizzieowner
tinlizzieowner

2 things.

#1. Woodward has always been respected journalist. A 'media darling' of the left, as long as he was writing about Republican Presidents but none the less factual. Now that he's decided to be factual about Obama as well, he's being castigated by the rest of the media. What little is left of the media that does try to be factual, is paying attention to this. I can't name names, this is simply an observation that will manifest it's self in more articles questioning the Obama administration, by whom remains to be seen.

#2. The young tend to be anti-establishment. Always have and always will be. The left has managed to finally become 'the establishment' with the election and reelection of Barack Obama. The young are being raised with liberalism as the status quo, what are they going to 'rebel' against? ;-) ;-)

Simply speculation on my part.

tinlizzieowner, what are you seeing which leads you to say this? Do you know of others with in the media that are seeing or feeling the same? Very interesting...

I hope you're right about it running it's course and the rebound and wrong about everything else.

Maybe and then again, maybe not. I've got a feeling that liberal socialism has just about run it's 50+ year course. I may not be around to see it but I think there is going to be a rebound toward more conservative values. Once the money tree has been picked bare, things are going to get real interesting in this country. ;-)

They will likely just throw all that support behind the new liberal god(dess).

Take it from a guy who has been in the media. There will come a time when Obama's penchant for playing the media like a cheap fiddle, is going to come back and bite him hard. It will be a couple years yet. ;-)

Aim high, Mr. President? Impossible, Libertyship, this gutter snipe of a president does not have it in him to act in the honest interest of the American people. Obama makes the mafia look like boy scouts.

Lol... there's nothing this corrupt regime won't do. Even if they don't fake these tweets, they'll surely still lie about the quantity of them.

More shameless crap from the Liar-and-Chief.

Heard on the radio yesterday that the use of private/personal email by EPA was for communication with Environmental groups and may have been used to prepare out of court settlements. 1) cash paid to the groups without a court trial. 2) Pay back to these groups for their support during the 2012 campaign 3) circumvent opposition to other people/groups that were against the Government/Environmental group position. You just have to love their total disregard for the People and the rule of law if this proves to be true.(or if it is even followed up)

And will you hear the mainstream media mention any of this? Not a chance. That's what you get when government-run propaganda controls the press. It's a dangerous place to be in this country, in any country for that matter, when there is no free press serving as a watchdog over a president. Once the media is in the tank for the government, you become no better than Zimbabwe. And, given our skyrocketing debt, our economy will soon look like Zimbabwe's as well. Aim high, Mr. president.
