“The Obama administration has created and staffed a new position tucked inside their communications shop for helping coordinate rapid response to unfavorable stories and fostering and improving relations with the progressive online community,” The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein writes.

"’This week, Jesse Lee will move from the new media department into a role in the communications department as Director of Progressive Media & Online Response,’ read an internal memo from Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, provided to The Huffington Post,’” Stein explains.

“Lee is a personal friend of Stein,” HuffPo discloses.

Well, that explains the puff piece.

Just so we’re clear: Your tax dollars are going to fund a propaganda effort to give talking points to the mainstream media.

Wait—that’s not fair.  This specifically says he’s dealing with “the progressive online community.”

Sorry. With “Tingles” claiming Obama is the new Kennedy and Bill Clinton is the voice of God, it’s hard to keep the two compartmentalized.

And about that “progressive community”—isn’t the Congressional  Progressive Caucus closely aligned with subversives like the Democratic Socialists of America, itself an affiliate of Socialist International?
