MEDIA FRAUD– More Proof That the Leftist Media Lied About Racist Attacks On Black Reps While They Ignored Vulgar Attacks By Lib Politicians

On Saturday the leftist media reported on a horrible story from their sources at the anti-military Jew-hating conservative-hating Huffington Post. The media claimed that members of the Congressional Black Caucus were called n*ggers and spat on by tea party protesters as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building. At least one report said that it was “a chorus” of racist hatred. Reporters from ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX News, (including Bill O’Reilly), MSNBC, etc. reported on this horrible story.

Unfortunately, it was a fake. They had no evidence… Nothing. It was totally made up.

In fact, a video was later released that proved that there was no “chorus” of racist hatred and no one screamed the n-word. It was all a lie.

Now here is more proof.
There were several cameras filming the democratic representatives as they walked to the Rayburn Office Building. And, the representatives had at least two cameras filming the entire event. (It was almost as if they were expecting something to happen?)

A black woman with the tea party crowd filmed the event.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) filmed the entire episode.

He found nothing.

Socialist Democrat Maxine Waters was with the representatives. The next day she went on TV and called the protesters “teabaggers.”

This man who was walking with the representatives also filmed the entire episode.

Obviously, there were no racist attacks on the Democratic Representatives on Saturday. Not one of these protesters, not one of these representatives, have any video proof that anything happened. But, that didn’t stop the media from promoting this bogus story.

Meanwhile, the media did miss several vulgar attacks by Democratic Politicians on the protesters. On Monday Rep. Maxine Waters called the protesters “teabaggers.” It wasn’t the first time. Jesse Jackson Sr. actually taunted tea party protesters and grabbed at their signs on Sunday night in Washington DC. And, on Monday, hateful Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) said that Republicans and tea party protesters drive teens to suicide.

Of course, the state-run media ignored all of these awful attacks.

Brent Bozell from the Media Research Center released this statement following the latest leftist media antics.

“What an exercise in hypocrisy. Some of you in the left-wing so-called ‘news’ media have actively participated in insulting conservatives with vulgar ‘tea bagging’ jokes. You’ve done it on live national television, snickering at your own snarky gay sense of humor. And if you haven’t done that, you have been a coward, doing nothing to condemn your colleagues for their disgusting behavior.

“Don’t you dare give us any more lectures on civility. You hypocrites disgust me.”

Will the Congressional Black Caucus welcome Star Parker when she replaces Laura Richardson in California?

Mr. Hoft:

It’s late, I’m up sick with a very bad cold, and I may be dense, but I had to read your post twice to get the point.

Which is, that if indeed this swearing and spitting had happened, that someone would have produced a video because it is now clear from these still pictures that many people filmed this event, including members of the black caucus, who should produce it to prove that it happened. Alas, the media does not require proof of anything much these days, especially when it concerns accusations of racism against tea partiers.

Charges of racism are very serious and should never be repeated without proof. But they’re everywhere now. I am not prone to conspiracy theories at all, but there does seem to be a concerted effort on the net at least, to brand all tea partiers, conservatives, and Republicans as racists. On all the blogs to the right of progressives there are people taunting and harassing the owner of the blog and the regular commenters. It’s really quite bizarre.

By the way, where exactly did Barney Frank say he was when someone called him a bad word? For a clue, read tpm…I think they know, at least that’s the impression I got when I read their postings about the incident.

Anyway, good luck. I’m a reader from Canada, so I have no skin in this game, and a game it is. I’m also a former lefty, now a libertarian/conservative. The left, frankly, has gone batsh-t crazy. Years ago, being on the left meant something quite different than it does today. No one on the left wanted to deprive any one of their freedoms; in fact, we wanted more freedom, more freedom from authority, more freedom from government, from organized religion, even freedom to educate ourselves and our children.

Now it’s morphed into something quite ugly and vicious, monstrous actually, and stupid. I sometimes read the blogs on the left and I am horrified by what I read there. The hate is simply breath-taking. Not to say there isn’t some on the right, but it’s generally found on the extreme right. No, I’m talking about main-stream blogs/news sites like the Huffington Post and Think Progress. Both of which are nothing but propaganda.

Oh, and did I mention that they lie…a lot? And it’s so easy to prove but they count on their readers to take them at their word and not to question their authority.
What has happened to children in the last decades that they have grown up to be nothing more than silly sheep?

It’s all very depressing.
