The Washington Post ignored crowd streaming out of Obama speech
The Quinton Report ^ | October 20, 2014 | Jeff Quinton

Posted on 10/20/2014 11:27:07 PM PDT by QT3.14

I noted last night that Reuters and Politico (including the White House pool report by a reporter from that paper) reported on a stream of people leaving after President Barack Obama started speaking last night at an event for Lt. Governor Anthony Brown in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Democrats tried to spin the reports, including one in The Baltimore Sun, by saying that the people leaving were from an overflow room that the president spoke to first. There was pushback by reporters on this (and pictures were tweeted proving it) and I’ll have more on that in a minute. There were even some Obama supporters on Twitter, when they weren’t calling reporters names, who were claiming the people who left were Republican plants.

"Obama supporters and Democrats in Maryland and nationally took to Twitter to attack the reports who wrote about people leaving. These included claims of the reporters being “Obama-haters”, “racists”, “liars”, and other attacks."

I guess these leftists forgot about this Hillary quote:

“I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

This can be compared with a Washington Post headline during the W presidency, “George Bush’s approval ratings avoid free fall, for now.”

“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

That shrill inflection in her voice as she made this statement is akin to the shrill voice as she was making her famous What difference does it make speech.

I suspect that these people were bused in, the event ran long, and they left because the bus was ready to go.

They didn't care who was speaking... the crowd left because they earned their DNC paychecks and were ready to go.

When Obama and his family went to the University of Maryland basketball game last year, there were pictures of Obama showing his kids to put their fingers in their ears to avoid hearing the raucous booing. But not in WaPo. There, it was reported that the crowd cheered him heartily.

No. These people were so enamored of his speech, they were running out to bring back their friends to hear it.

It’s now time for “Lies of Omission”, starring the Washington Post editorial staff.

Ben Bradlee ad Katheren Graham (RIP) would be proud of the TWP editorial board.

Reposting my comments from another thread about this incident:

I suspect that this is all part of a WH-orchestrated disinformation move intended to send the message that all DemocRATS must get out and vote because people are turning on the president, and voting will show him that the Rats still care.

1) People are not permitted to just get up and walk anywhere while the president is on stage. The USSS just would not allow it for obvious security reasons.

2) The heckler was a pro-amnesty fool with a sign. Set-up, IMO.
