Obama camp plants fake doctor, Che fan at Jackson Lee forum



Obama camp plants fake doctor, Che fan at Jackson Lee forum
 by Matt Bramanti · 08/13/2009 8:05 am

I was reading the Chron’s piece about Sheila Jackson Lee’s town hall, when something caught my eye:

One supporter, Dr. Roxana Mayer, a physician who does not live in Jackson Lee’s district, praised the reform plan for overhauling a broken system.

    “I don’t know what there is in the bill that creates such panic,” she said.

In this video, Mayer claims to be a general practitioner, eliciting applause and even a hug from Queen Sheila:

I’m not sure why, but something didn’t smell right. So my colleagues and I did a little digging, and wouldn’t you know it? Roxana Mayer is, like, totally not a doctor.

But she is an Obama campaign volunteer.

Our own David Jennings secured a phone interview, in which Mayer admitted to impersonating a physician, saying — get this — she thought it would help her credibility. (It didn’t.)

Now here’s where it spins off into a whole new dimension of weird. See the bug-eyed woman seated behind not-doctor Mayer?


Look familiar?

Yes, that little ray of sunshine, who accompanied Mayer to the meeting, is none other than Maria Isabel, the unhinged moonbat who ran a Barack Obama campaign office, complete with Che Guevara flag.

Hell, she’s even wearing the exact same outfit she wore the last time we mocked her!


A word of advice to budding political operatives: when you need two plants, try to pick people smarter than actual plants.

This isn’t brain surgery.

Maybe it's not on CNN because there is zero proof that the "Obama Camp" had anything to do with it

I have to agree with Beach Bum. LOL, indeed. This is exactly like the McCain campaign volunteer who carved a  b into her own face to help her candidate. Even though she admitted that it was all her own doing and there was no evidence to the contrary, everyone knew that it was all set up by John McCain.

Drudge had the story before the police report was filed hahahahahahaha

this looks like an obvious plant.

I think it looks more like overzealous volunteers badly attempting to support their cause. If the Obama camp was going to use a plant, they could have easily found a licensed physician.

"Obama camp" is perfectly appropriate.  She obviously wasn't directed by someone in the White House, but she was an Obama delegate from Texas.  Incredible how boldly she stood there and lied.  The hug by the gentlelady from Texas was just comical. 

So now we have a woman who was planted in a town hall meeting by a sinister Republican and a doctored video showing Lee not really talking on her cell while a member of the community is asking a question.  lol. . . .

Even if you buy that version of event,  if you're definition of "obama camp" is  that lax, then it's perfectly understandable why this isn't on the front page of CNN.

Let's assume she wasn't part of the "Obama camp."  It's still newsworthy, particularly in light of the attempt to paint protesters at these town hall meetings as un-American and part of some Republican conspiracy.

If she's not part of the Obama camp, it's completely un-newsworthy. This is an incident, not a trend.

Incidents are just as newsworthy as trends, especially when it involves a Congresswoman who was just getting roasted for being an imbecile.  It certainly sounds like an organized attempt to combat the widespread dissatisfaction with healthcare reform.

As a counter-balance to a trend, an incident is not newsworthy.
This doesn't sound organized at all.

[George Whorewell]

Beach get a hold of yourself. Its only newsworthy when staged people are implanted at townhall meetings that oppose Obama. When mindless Obama supporters do it, its not news. 

And Al- your right about one thing, its highly fucking unorganized. Obama cant even stage fake supporters correctly without being caught instantaneously. Bad job by Axelrod and the other dregs on team Obama.

you've written this a couple of times now

I don't believe for a second that there is WIDESPREAD dissatisfactin with the current legislation on healthcare reform

I do believe their is a tiny yet very vocal minority of not so smart people who were already angry and scared who are getting a lot of attention

That's pretty much true, given the crickets about this at CNN et al.

You really are a delusional dickweed. Every single major poll reflects that the majority of Americans do not support Obamacare. A majority hardly constitutes a TINY minority.

well maybe you're part of the tiny minority that was already scared, angry and grossy misinformed.  When I read the FreedomWorks memo it becomes pretty obvious that these are small groups of people are trying to present themselves as being much larger than they really are:

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/31/recess-harassment-memo/

– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

Are you retarded?

Look at the polls dumbass. Townhall meetings dont mean anything in the greater context and neither is what you posted above.

feel free to show me some polls rather than just telling me about them.

BTW  -  I've looked at many different polls and I've seen varying degrees of support and also a large degree of dissatisfaction with the current system. 

I've also seen the profound  ignorance of the people that are most vocal in their opposition.

Reform could be as simple as fostering more competition, stopping abusive practices (rescission, pre-existing conditions, etc..), setting up a reliable way for the consumer to have recourse against health insurance companies who reject legitimate claims for service, and having a public option.

The system is broken but it can be fixed

Or, more appropriately, no job at all. As it's more likely than not that they weren't involved.

The majority of ppl agree that the healthcare system needs work, the majority of ppl also feel that obamas view is not the plan they want

http://www.gallup.com/poll/122255/Amid-Debate-Obama-Approval-Rating-Healthcare-Steady.aspx

that is unless those bad bad ppl who organize(i mean the right wing groups in this case b/c we all know the lefties do it too but they dont get called for it) didnt get to the gallup poll as well...

AGAIN STRAW acting simply for the sake of acting IS NOT THE ANSWER...I agree that healthcare needs to be reformed do we need to provide healthcare to everyone I think thats debatable. Do pre-existing conditions, denied coverage etc...need to be fixed yes but the 2 arent tied together and obama is trying to paint them as such to get HIS AGENDA passed.

I can agree with you here, but it's getting to the point of ridiculous with congressional republicans.  I'm just going on memory, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of any significant changes to the healthcare system that the republicans have aggressively brought to the forefront.

12 years of leadership under the Bushes and still nothing.  All I ever seem to hear from these congressmen is whining, pissing, and moaning about the dems plan and that's really gotten old.

In all honesty this isnt the time imho to be talking about a healthcare system overhaul, Im no party shill and I would agree with you about that and the reps. Although the alternative is just as crappy, obama seems to want shit passed for the sake of getting things passed and not with the intentions of really making a difference or intentionally making a difference.

Obama keeps saying that we will save money through implementing things that prevent fraud etc...why not implement those first and then AFTER WE HAVE THE MONEY proceed with the rest of the plan? I would still not be in favor of providing healthcare to everyone on others money but I would be alot more at ease with knowing at least for now its paid for and the tax payers wont be asked to come up with more money to pay for again OTHER ppls health insurance.
