Hardhead

Last night at 6 p.m. my time I unwound from my job and my blog by trying to watch some football. It's a killing time ritual I have until the season actually starts. But, face it, it's preseason and who really gives a crap?

So I switched around and I make the mistake of going past "Hardball" where I missed the interview with Cindy Sheehan, but managed to catch an interview of some moronic woman who even Tweety embarrassed followed by a woman who claimed to be Iraqi and looked like she was determined to do an impression of an Iraqi by speaking deliberate "pigeon English". She wasn't particularly effective so I did not think much about it.

But Sharon Jumper a diarist at Kos has dug up some information on this woman that is revealing (and we're not talking Michelle Malkin like shit):

I saw a few passing references to "May Hasan Lamotte" yesterday in the print media. She was portrayed as "an Iraqi woman who just had to drive to Crawford to tell Cindy Sheehan that her son died for a noble cause...

This "Iraqi woman" then showed up on Hardball to swiftboat Cindy. Something about her didn't strike me as being right. There was a passing reference to her being married to an American journalist.

Military intelligence skills and google, don't fail me now, I thought.

The faux Iraqi woman on Hardball is married to Greg Lamotte with Voice of America (VOA). I know stuff about them, but decided to find their public website, lest I inadvertently disclose classified info.

Here you go, from http://www.voanews.com/english/About/fastfacts.cfm
The Voice of America (VOA) is an international multimedia broadcasting service funded by the U.S. government through the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

Draw your own conclusions about what this agency is...and why a wife of one of their "reporters" was put on national tv to attack a grieving mother.

She referenced things that her uncles told her, but never discussed her own experiences in Iraq. She's probably never even lived there, I bet...So, besides the dishonest attack of my friend with my tax dollars (no doubt the VOA hubby who accompanied her from DC was on the clock), why else do I have my panties in a knot over this? HERE'S WHY - THE VOICE OF AMERICA IS AN INTELLIGENCE OPERATION. IT IS SET UP TO BROADCAST AND "REPORT" PROPOGANDA. UNDER THE SMITH-MUNDT ACT OF 1948 IT IS ILLEGAL FOR VOA REPORTS AND BROADCAST INFO TO BE DISSEMINATED TO THE U.S. Why? Because the U.S. government isn't supposed to lie and spread propoganda to its own people.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the wife of a professional U.S. government propogandist shows up in BF Crawford to attack Cindy? Write MSNBC and Hardball and Matthews and I imagine the other networks and any other news referencing this woman and let's get the truth out there. This truly shows how desparate the Bush Administration has become.

.

Using American tax dollars to swift boat a Gold Star mom.

Yes, they are that reprehensible.

Naturally, Chris Matthews mentioned not a peep of this, but I bet he is aware of it.
