do I really have to say it???
More proof that our watchdog media is really the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.
No real news here -- Just thought you'd like to know.
It would not surprise me that (even if someone did yell racial slurs) it was the work of a Leftist plant. I put nothing beyond these people. I would also not be surprised to see the Feds planting agents in the Tea Party movement (much as they did with radical groups in the 60s/early 70s).
They can sue.
Now they likely can't sue the Congresscritters because, alas, the Constitution says they can't be sued for what they say in Congress, on Congress, etc.
McClatchy's reporters and managers simply forgot they aren't members of Congress.
He said to me, "Whoever OWNS the press, has FREEDOM of the press."
Most of the press is owned by Corporate powers...find out who they are and discover how corporations and politicians are in bed with each other.
bottom line: They tell us all of the news that they want us to hear.
Yes, and there will be more attempts like this.
This is no problem for the press, the Left and their agenda; they made a mistake and learned from it.
Next time, they will plant their own in the crowd to do the dirty work, and have their own cameras to record the “event” and let the world know that hate speech really is happening, even if it is contrived.
Reichstag redux; there is nothing new under the sun.
Hate to say it but they did take the focus off the content of the protest and focused on the sticks and stones (as infantile lefties are wont to do).
It’s time to play dirty and watch the watchers.

Early in the morning of the 2000 elections the radio stations in Florida were already getting calls that the seniors had voted for Buchanan by mistake.
These people were egged on by phone calls from an out of state phone bank.
Hm, interesting evidence of media collusion here.
OTOH, is it really so unusual for two writers to be aware of what the other is going to write beforehand? If they had both been in contact with the same source, and if the source had mentioned the one to the other, and if they had then been in contact with each other and were aware of what they were going to post — I don’t know, that doesn’t seem too terribly beyond the pale.
I don't doubt for one minute that Pelosi had a plan to create a news event when they walked out into the crowd. They knew the press would follow what ever bait they threw out there even if the crowd didn't bite. It didn't work as well as they wanted it to. They didn't even get a nibble from the protesters but they ran with it anyway. They had to get the story off of them so they slimed the tea party.
It’s the RICO media.

Jim Moran, Tim Kaine and some other idiot Democrat were to be attending a fundraiser for the mosque and someone was trying to organize a protest. It's a bad idea.
“The McClatchy reporter William Douglas refers to Huffington Post contributor Sam Snead as a source in his article. But… The Huffington Post did not post their article until 4:56 PM EST:”
Not to be a wet blanket, but most reporters talk to their sources directly, as opposed to lifting info from blogs. This timing in no way precludes Douglas from having interviewed Snead prior to his posting. The specific quote says:
“Frank said the crowd consisted of a couple of hundred of people and that they referred to him as ‘homo.’ A writer for The Huffington Post said the protesters called Frank a “faggot.”
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/03/20/90772/rep-john-lewis-charges-protesters.html#ixzz0k30rLexA
The reporter clearly interviewed Frank, since several more quotes of his are used. But he used the term “said” in the case of both Frank and Snead, who was identified only as a writer for Huffington Post. Had he lifted Snead’s remark from a blog, he could have and should have said “A writer for The Huffington Post posted blah, blah, blah.” This is much ado about nothing.
But I was intrigued by another claim in the story.
“Cleaver’s office said later in a statement that he’d also been spat upon and that Capitol Police had arrested his assailant. The statement praised the police, who Cleaver said escorted the members of Congress into the Capitol past the demonstrators.
“The man who spat on the congressman was arrested, but the congressman has chosen not to press charges,” the statement said.”
Isn’t that a flat-out lie? I’ve only seen the video, where it appeared Cleaver couldn’t even identify the person who had “spat.” And many FR posters doubted the legitimacy of his claim of spitting on grounds that the officer who observed the encounter did NOT arrest the alleged spitter. Anyone know a different story? That is, is there any source other than a truth-twisting black Congressman who can verify that an arrest was made?
The tea party should be prepared for similar tricks at the April 15 rally, especially fake protesters causing trouble.
