It is now apparent that the Center for American Progress is not like by some Leftists. The reason is that before Obama was President,CAP and it’s mouth piece Think Progress was always bashing Bush as a warmonger. Now that has changed. They are now supporting the Iraq war and Afghan surge.

Here are the 2 Articles exposing them:

Rahm Emanuel’s Think Tankers Enforce ‘Message Discipline’ Among ‘Liberals’

What is clear here is that CAP and MoveOn are now basically psuedo-official PR flaks targeting “liberals” to support the White House agenda. This, though, should not come as a shock to those who have closely monitored these groups. They were the primary force behind Americans Against Escalation in Iraqmillions of dollars using Iraq as a political bludgeon against Republican politicians, (AAEI), “a coalition that spent tens of while refusing to pressure the Democratic Congress to actually cut off funding for the war.” Now, according to John Stauber, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, the Center for American Progress is now running “Progressive Media which was begun by Tom Matzzie and David Brock in 2008 and now ‘represents a serious ratcheting up of efforts to present a united liberal front in the coming policy wars….’ [These groups] are working hard to push Obama’s policies, including rationalizlng or defending his escalation of the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan as “sustainable security.”

CAP was anti war, now it is pro war! What a turn around.

Progressive Think Tank Tells Obama to Escalate

The Center for American Progress has positioned itself as a “progressive” Washington think tank, especially suited to channel new thinking and expertise into the Obama administration. It therefore is deeply disappointing that CAP has issued a call for a ten-year war in Afghanistan, including an immediate military escalation, just as President Obama prepares to unveil his Afghanistan/Pakistan policies to the American public and NATO this week.

The Canter for American progress and its mouthpiece Think Progress is Totalitarian in nature. They smear their opponents and attempt to silence. Now they are a mouthpiece for the Obama Administration. Think Pravda would be better suited for their name. When even Leftists label them as fake, that tells you something. CAP is Fascist and is all about power. They stand for nothing.
