The Vast Leftwing Conspiracy

It's real and it's coordinated.

The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 labor, environmental and other Democratic-leaning groups dial into a private conference call hosted by two left-leaning Washington organizations.

The “8:45 A.M. call,” as it’s referred to by members, began three weeks ago, and it marks a new level in coordination by the White House’s allies at a time when the conservative opposition is struggling for a toe-hold and major agenda items like health care reform appear closer than ever to passage.

The call has helped attempts to link the Republican Party to radio host Rush Limbaugh, and has served as the launching ground for attacks on critics of Obama’s policy proposals. It springs from a recognition of what was lacking in the Clinton years, said Jennifer Palmieri, the senior vice president for communications at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, one of the groups hosting the call.

Wow.

We've heard the Left gritch and moan for 20 years about the vast rightwing conspiracy. Now we have an actual coordinated effort from the Left to ensure their talking points are repeated. And repeated. And repeated.

Of course, this really is unsurprising, given our Teleprompter president, who uses a technological cheatsheet to stay on point and not actually answer legitimate questions. And, quite frankly, it makes sense for a president to employ as many "friends" as possible to reinforce his message. Especially when you're killing more jobs.

Allahpundit has more.
