Another win for Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government. Jake Tapper has the details:
Embattled former National Endowment for the Arts communications director Yosi Sergant is out of a job. Late this afternoon, the NEA released a short statement saying, “This afternoon Yosi Sergant submitted his resignation from the National Endowment for the Arts. His resignation has been accepted and is effective immediately.” The agency provided no further details.
Sergant had been under scrutiny after leading a controversial conference call on August 10, where he encouraged artists to create work to promote the Obama administration’s agenda. Sergant was initially removed from his post as communications director, but continued to work at the NEA.
See also here for more, including a link to new guidelines for the NEA. The firing is not surprising, considering the way that Sergant was hung out to dry by his superiors. No word yet whether ACORN / Obama for America crony Buffy Wicks will suffer a similar sanction – or, indeed, any punishment at all for attempting to set up a shadow Ministry of Propaganda within the American governmental system.
It’s supposed to look ominous when written out like that. That’s because it is.

Requiring a 'willing suspension of disbelief"
fisk2521 Thursday, September 24th at 6:26PM EST (link)Believing that Sergant conducted this conference encouraging artists to create works of art to reflect their support for Obama requires “willing suspension of disbelief” don’t you think??? (I just love that Hillary quote, it is useful so many times).
They threw this guy under the bus…but the rest of those who were part of this ‘conspiracy’ this ‘abuse of power’ remain and deserve public attention as well.

Good thing they got rid of this guy...
billyd (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 8:33PM EST (link)It’s obvious to anyone that Yosi Sergant was the guy that did this on his own. If you weren’t aware, that’s how businesses work. When a communications director want’s to say something, they just do it. No need to get an ok from a supervisor, vp, or ceo. They are actually the ones running the show.
Do they really think the American people are too stupid to see that Yosi isn’t the guy that approved this entire project? He’s just the guy that was on the phone, pushing the agenda of those above him.

The only thing missing is a Nuremberg rally… oh wait.. that was the Immaculation…er… Inauguration….
“Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim – when he defends himself – as a criminal.” — Frederic Bastiat
