Tuesday, while talking about Patrick Courrielche’s NEA piece, Rush Limbaugh said, “…there was a story right before I left that [Obama’s] youthful supporters just aren’t anywhere here. They’re not showing up. Where are they? Where are they out there for the Obama agenda? It’s all having to be organized ’cause there’s no real, genuine passion for the agenda.”

If the lack of energy on MTV’s Rock the Vote (RTV) health-care site is any indication, as usual, Rush appears to be right. When it comes to celebrity activism to rally the youth troops, RTV is ground zero (which is why they’re a key component in the NEA conference calls Courrielche’s been writing about), and they’ve dedicated the last few weeks to push ObamaCare with everything they got, including t-shirt propaganda contests, a “Yes We Care” pledge, and A-list celebrity videos starring Perez Hilton–
Perez Hilton?
Other than this commercial (which aired nationally last night) with a couple guys in their mid-thirties who star in a nine-year old sitcom, the best they could find was Perez Hilton? They couldn’t find anyone at the bottom of the barrel; they had to turn it over?
Do you think Perez was the first one RTV called?
And check out the lack of comments on the site’s blog. A video of Perez shilling his lame shirt ranks number one as the post with the most number of comments: seven (as of this writing). Seven. The post has been up five days.
Even more heartening is the fact that three of the comments prove that some of RTV’s more energized readers aren’t exactly on the ObamaCare special bus:
– I also went through my 20[‘s] without medical ins[urance]. SO. Then I joined the military and EARNED health care. The Military is hiring so shut up and join and you too can get all those great Medical benifits. Oh yeah you might get shot at defending the freedoms of a bunch of free loaders-So RTV supports big brother and big Gov. Kind of a 180 for free lovin hippies.
-It’s unfortunate that RTV has become just another special interest group.
Finally, the RTV propaganda t-shirt contest received only 11,000 votes. There are shopping malls that hold more teens than that.
Whether it’s our public schools passing out condoms and Dear Leader lesson plans or a complete takeover of the university system, a happy Leftist is one firmly rooted between parent and child — wielding their toxic influence on captive or unsuspecting young minds. And unless you “Go Amish,” nowhere is this more pervasive than in our popular culture.
Pop culture wins too many and loses too few, but maybe they’re losing this one. The evidence is anecdotal but it’s still evidence
