Katy Abram has been tagged as a plant at Specter's town hall

[shraby]

over at DailyKos.
Katy Abram of Arlen Spector Town Hall fame was interviewed by Lawrence O'Donnell last night and claimed that this health care initiative woke her up to politics. In fact, she helped to organize the protest before the Spector event and has been hosting Glenn Beckian 9-12 meetings at her home. She joined Meet-Up in December, 2006, with an interest in Conservative and Glenn Beck groups, though since last night she's scrubbed info about her interests from her profile. Here's an invitation to her 9-12 meeting:

Hi Sandra,

1. Oh, I thought you meant like a geranium.

Because I did see a similarity.

[valerief]

3. LOL! More like ragweed.

:rofl:

She could be Joe the Plumber's sidekick, Katy the Dumber.

[orleans]

8. lol. n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

13. Skunk cabbage...

[redwitch]

4. Don't you be dissin' geraniums!

Signed,
The center for intelligent plantlife

[aquart]

6. Forgive me.

Where on the scale of intelligent plantlife do geraniums fall? I mean, are they plant border collies? Or plant afghans?

[jberryhill]

10. The border collies are kudzu - it's going places......

[redwitch]

12. You are forgiven.

And it depends on how much bichon they have in them.

2. Hats off to DUer Stephanie!

She is the one that brought this info to light:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6294512

I am going to assume that the Kossack, "stef", is the same person, unless told otherwise.

EDIT: fixed link

[Gabi Hayes]

14. didn't you mean this link? and here's Katy's Meetup page, which needs to be seen before it's

cleaned up....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6289409

meetup page, with several nasty responses, ha

[blogslut]

18. oops!

Thanks, Gabi.

I'm guessing those responses were posted after her previous political activism came to light due to Stephanie's awesomeness. :)

[Gabi Hayes]

19. yeah...she beat Kos by 12 hours or so

didn't see anything on MSNBC correcting the record tonight (KO or Rachel, anyway)

[blogslut]

21. Well

It's very possible that the Kos user, "stef", may be our DUer, Stephanie.

[Gabi Hayes]

24. izzat who started the kos thing? I think you're right about that.

so she beat herself!

[blogslut]

26. Well, the important part is spreading the info

And I am all for that! :)

[Gabi Hayes]

30. same here, of course. hope it gets some TV play. however, she's

already a 'folk' hero to the mouth breathers, and once one of them enters the realm of fantasy, no amount of logic/reason/factual accuracy will come between those cretins and their world of make believe

just think no farther than 'birthers' for confirmation

or 'deathers'

one publicity stunt after the other, that's all it takes

''Lookee! Another shiny object! Must chase!''

[blogslut]

31. Let em' have their heros

The more they pump her up, the better chance she'll appear before an interviewer that won't treat her like a piece of china. Put her in front of Tamron Hall and see how well the little princess act holds up.

[Gabi Hayes]

32. I don't think she'll be coming out of her wingnut cocoon for whatever shelf life her

celebrity affords her. as her star fades, the next palin/joe the P will pop up, most likely in the form of some other shouting townholler creep. it's how they promote things, and with Fox panting behind the scenes for its next superstar, you can be sure that someone is waiting in the wings (probably as yet undiscovered)

I'll be very surprised to see/hear her anywhere else, unless she can get some sort of agreement to keep the interviewer from bringing up her 9/12-Glenn Beck associations.

she's already become a member of the freeper firmament, and, as I said, nothing anyone can ever say or do will change the impression the squid patrol has formed

[blogslut]

35. Hard to say

Granted, she'll get better treatment from the Hannity's and Becks of this world but MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell wasn't as firm with her as he could have been. Mind you, O'Donnell questioned her brilliantly. He gave her free reign to tell lies, which are being exposed because of DUers like Stephanie. Just the same, by the time O'Donnell was done, she was purring like a kitten. She thinks she pulled the wool over the "liberal media's" eyes.

I am hoping she continues to feel safe, just like Sarah Palin thought she was safe with Katie Couric. Ms. Abram pulled a lot of girly tricks that won't work with objective female reporters and anchors. I'm simply wishing for one five-minute segment with one of those objective female anchors.

:)

[Stephanie]

36. Rachel should invite her

[blogslut]

39. LOL. That would be sweet!

However, I kind of think old Katy will steer clear of Ms. Maddow.

Actually, I have hopes for a lil' confrontation with Contessa. Now that's she's evolved past her awkward stage, Ms. Brewer is turning out to be rather fearless.

My dream would be to see Katy Abram interviewed by Tamron Hall.

[Stephanie]

25. yes ma'am!

:hi:

[blogslut]

27. You are a goddess, my dear.

Great work. :)

[TexasObserver]

5. Recommend

[BlooInBloo]

7. She's about as bright as one, for sure.

[skygazer]

9. Gosh, there's a surprise!

I really thought she was just a concerned housewife who'd never bothered her pretty l'il ol' head about sech things afore. :wow:

[Meldread]

11. I don't think she was a plant.

I saw her on Hardball. I also saw a clip of her speaking with Hannity thanks to the Daily Show.

She appears to be genuine to me. That being said, if it is somehow proven (I mean seriously proven that she was planted there by some outside group to specifically ask her question), and then it is proven that everything she said afterward is a lie...

...then give that woman an Oscar and send her to Hollywood. She's a damn good actress.

[redwitch]

15. See response #2.

She's a lying 9-12er.

[blogslut]

20. She is a good actress

I especially loved her portrayal as the clueless spouse unit, unable to comprehend her family's finances. The subtext of "I'm just a silly girl!" was quiteconvincing.

Seriously, you don't know women like this? Women who play the delicate flower when it suits their purpose? I know plenty of them and to steal a quote from Mad-Eye Moody:

"Ms. Abram is as much a fairy princess as I am."

[Gabi Hayes]

28. everybody saw the real person when she was frothing at the mouth in front of

poor Mr. Magic Bullet

that's what she's like at home. no question, if you caught Mr. Milquetoasty Hubby perching next to her, it's obvious who wears the pants and panties in that happy home

Looks like an R. Crumb/Ms. Aline sort of situation

[scheming daemons]

16. She's not a plant. I own several plants... ferns, cacti, you name it... they have higher IQs.

[PatSeg]

17. Do they all LIE???

Is that the only way they can win at anything?

[Blue For You]

22. I could tell that by her appearance on Hardball. Way too much

bullshit in her answers and non-answers. Obviously, her GOP handlers didn't spend enough time with her in Astroturf class. Katy is just another "backwards B" tool for the GOP.

[Stephanie]

23. Thank you

That's my post. It was at DU first, but Kos is very interested.

[TahitiNut]

29. I'm ...

[Eric J in MN]

33. I don't see evidence that in 2006, she indicated she was interested in Conservative and

...Glenn Beck groups.

She could have joined Meetup in 2006 and added those interests more recently, unless there is contrary evidence.

[Stephanie]

34. The interests were posted there last night, she's scrubbed them since then

I pasted them to DU yesterday >

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6289409

[Eric J in MN]

37. But when did she choose those interests at Meetup?

If she did so recently, then it doesn't contradict her statement that she wasn't interested in politics until recently.

[Stephanie]

38. No way of knowing that

Regardless, she is organizing on behalf of Glenn Beck's astro-turf movement and devoting her time to following his instructions and spreading his lies.

[ConnorMarc]

40. Well I'll Be!!

[TheKentuckian]

41. God, I despise their fake ass folk heros

She seemed like a legit dimwit to me though, I'll admit. She didn't have the smoothness and comfort with her bullshit like SammiJo The Stooge and the like.
