"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

Astroturfing: Obama Plans To Flood Conservative Talk Radio With Liberal Talking Points | Washington Examiner

Mark Hemmingway at The Washington Examiner:     Astroturfing: Obama plans to flood conservative talk radio with liberal talking points

Organizing for America, the powerful activist organization with some 13 million email addresses that grew out of the Obama campaign, has launched a new website -- http://radio.barackobama.com. The website provides users with the name of a talk show that's going on right at that moment and what is being discussed. Users can listen live to the radio program directly from the website.

The purpose of the website is to supply the President's supporters with liberal talking points on health care reform. Supporters are then encouraged to call in to conservative talk radio shows armed with the talking points provided and "report your call."

It's not exactly the fairness doctrine, but it doesn't seem transparent either. If you can't beat 'em, astroturf 'em.

There are "Calling Tips" and "Discussion Points" on the site, plus a scrollable list of talk shows with a clickable link to listen to the show plus the contact phone number, all there on the RadioBarackObama webpage.  There is an e-mail link for the caller to report their call after making it.  This is the exhortation at the top of the page:
"The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online -- and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA (Organizing For America) supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message."

Let's use our collective imagination and try to envision what the DownStream Media would do if George W. Bush had done this instead of Barack H. Obama.

We are in the middle of a Bloodless Coup for control of the USA.  The enemy is not only here within the USA but is legally ensconced with the reins of government and is fully protected by the Constitution that it seeks to render moot and destroy.
