On Fox News Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 Chris Wallace repeats Americans For Job Security talking points verbatim immediately preceding one of their ads airing on the network.

driftglass comes up with the find and keenly observes Wallace's puppet-like devotion to his advertiser:

Wallace (filtered through Driftglass): Apropos of nothing whatsoever, aren’t unions evil? And shouldn’t the Evil Union Card Check program be opposed by all right thinking people who don’t want the destroy the economy? I mean, after all you get secret ballots in Congress. Why is it OK for Congress to have secret ballots and not for workers?

... One minute later, they went to commercial, and I got the shock of the week when the first paid commercial was from an outfit called “Americans For Job Security” repeating VERBATIM the Boehner/Fox Party line “question” that Wallace had awkwardly wedged into the middle of a “news” broadcast not sixty seconds prior.

You get secret ballots in Congress.

Why is it OK for Congress to have secret ballots and not for workers?

Driftglass goes on to provide us with lots of detail about Americans For Job Security -- predictably, a "sham front group that would be better called Corporations Influencing Elections." Be sure to read it all.

1. They Are Just Warming Up

Expect the networks to give the anti-union side HOURS of free airtime each day by the time this comes up to a vote.

2. I have been hearing this 'Obama Bought the White House' argument lately, well...

I'll have you know it was ME who helped buy that White House back for Americans, NOT Obama - it wasn't HIS money, it was MY money, and millions of other Americans who bought back the White House FOR Americans.

Fuck John Boehner and pitiful losing bratty antics. But mostly, Fuck the far right religious fanatics in the Republican Party who have sold this country to lobbyists and are now pretending they had nothing to do with the state this country is in right now.

It is YOUR fault. Period. Why the oil industry isn't responsible to support and buy out their fuel-gorging machine in Detroit (yes, the Big Three) I'll never know. But now that the White House has been bought back by AND for Americans, I can tell you this. YOU are no longer the name on the deed to that White House. It is back in American hands.

And we can thank GOD for that!
