The Next GOP BS Poutrage?

[maxsolomon]

This is the 'controversy' being ginned up by Darrel Issa, R-DB, to follow the mosque BS. My 70 year old Aunt posted a link about this to FB this morning (and i withheld my fire because she has a nice house in Park City and i want to use it). I won't post that BS blog to DU, so i had to search hard to find a MSM mention. Bet FauxNews is up an running with this by Monday - it's a "congressional report", after all!

"Under one-party rule in 2009, the White House used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the President’s agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives," said the report by Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "Congress buoyed the Administration’s propaganda efforts by increasing federal spending on public relations for the first time since 2005.">
