CNN, "making it up" as usual
Powerline Blog ^ | 09/13/2009 | Scott Johnson

Yesterday, CNN reported that at the Tea Party protest in Washington DC, Nazi imagery and a poster of President Obama as an African witch doctor were popular images. A friend and former law firm colleague who spent hours at the protest says this isn't true. He tells me: "I saw a couple of signs out of thousands that said 'Hitler gave good speeches too' and a few of the Obama zombie like images that have been around the internet." But CNN is "simply making [it] up" when it claims that Nazi imagery and a post of Obama as a witch doctor were popular images at the protest.

I did see one of Obama as the witch doctor. There were so many different signs. People were very creative.

I loved the Obama Death Care Hearse. I would love to know who came up with that..

I saw the one of the witch doctor, when the Tea Party Express was in Brighton MI. I wonder if it was a plant from the pro 0bama crowd? The local media spent a lot of time on that poster.

All these people do is lie. The Democrats lie. Their supporters lie, vociferously. The news media lies. Get used to it, and laugh at it.

If CNN wants to pull a SeeBS on this, hey can Photoshop these imagined images into the crowd shots and call them “false but accurate”.

Yahoo did the same dirty trick. The one photo they placed with the copy for their Tea Party story was the one from the douche LaRouche showing Obama with a Hitler mustache. I don’t think the picture was from the actual 9/12 event, it looked like one I’d seen before. Dirty rat bastards at Yahoo...

I find the Libtards fuming over the Obama as witch doctor amusing.

Wasn’t it a Libtard article of faith that Reaganomics was
“Voodoo Economics”?

I have looked at many pics from yesterday. I did not see one Hitler - the witch doctor has been around for weeks.

Can anyone “jokerize” the Obama witch doctor poster?

That would be a very effective poster, and the racism charge would be lost in the laughter.

Take a look at the pictures I posted earlier...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2338669/posts or
http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp259/WaLiRaSa/

Literally hundreds of pictures.

Only 8-10 pictures were deleted from the entire day’s shooting, and these were deleted because of blurring.

I had to do this because many of the pictures were taken on timer with my camera raised about 10 feet over my head on a monopod.

The signs in these pictures are TRUELY representative of what was seen.

This was an absoluely respectable, well behaved crowd.

For those who consider the Obama Joker poster to be racist - grow up you losers. Your baseless accusations of racism are growing old and long ago quit having any effect. We KNOW who the true hateful racists are, and it’s not conservatives.

There's a vid of ACORN selling “Don't Tread On Me” signs - something Janet Napolitano warns is a “sign of militias”.. In short ACORN WAS TRYING to fulfill Janet and every other liberals wet dream. I'll try to find the link.

They never mention that conservative imagery of Nazis is anti-Nazi, and that Obama is the Nazi.

This is the link to ACORN handing out "don't tread on me (militia ) signs.

The ACORN goons slapped an older man - they were moving toward what looked like a prearranged spot. I wonder if they worked out a photo op with CNN or MSNBC or ABC? Those agencies are NOT above this kind of thing. They're looking for a "hate conservative" picture - and it must have been hard to find with all those nice looking American citizen.

The man who got slapped should sue ACORN. Can someone pass this one to FOX?

This was one of the cutest creative t-shirts I saw in the pics.

And this was one of the best signs
