AP CAUGHT LYING: No boos at Bush rally in Wisconsin (I was there)
9/3/2004 | Trust but Verify

Posted on 09/03/2004 1:04:48 PM PDT by Trust but Verify

I wouldn't have posted this as a separate topic until I heard on the radio on the way home from the rally that the AP had reported the crowd booed when it was annnounced that the former president had been hospitalized. That is a bold faced lie. I understand it was later retracted, but that's like unringing a bell. I do not think it was in error, either, since the writer further stated that 'Bush did nothing to stop them.' Shameful.

The rally was amazing. I don't know how many were in attendance, but the crowd could not have been more enthusiastic. I could be wrong (but I don't think so) but I don't think there's any question Bush will win in Wisconsin. I have worked for campaigns before, and been to rally's before, but I have never witnessed the fervor I did today.

I have pictures in one-hour processing right now (I am resisting the purchase of a digital camera) and when I get them back, I'll try to post them. If anyone can tell me how to do it, please FReepmail me.

Another eyewitness account here-

There were NO audible boo's heard by this Wisconsin Freeper. As a matter of fact, several in the section where we were located paused right then & there to pray for Clinton, Florida & Russia. The press is creating fiction and reporting it as fact!

P.s. - get a digital camera - but wait until the thanksgiving sales for bargains.

Is it true that you must wrap your head in aluminum foil when using a digital camera to keep the corporate/government conglomerates from implanting their thougths and desires in your mind?

I want to get one since they look so easy to use, but I'm still having problems getting my microwave to cook evenly with the aluminum foil lining I installed to keep NASA from using it for their sordid purposes.

They have never let the truth get in the way of a smear campaign against a conservative. Why start now?

Thank you for posting this.

All the Republicans I know have enough class to never do such a thing.

There is a time for everything under heaven, and today was not the time to gloat or boo when a former President is taken to the hospital with heart trouble.

AP lies again.

I had to bust E.J. Dionne's chops today for lying about Zell Miller's speech today...

And just how do you expect Mr. Dionne to earn a living if he can't lie? Surely you don't expect him to work in business or /gasp> perform some sort of labor?!?!

Scan them. Convert from tif to jpeg. Upload them to your website.

use the img src command to post on FR, of course.

I was there as well. The AP story was an absolute, blatant lie.

Here is what Drudge is saying now:


AP CLAIMS: 'AUDIENCE OF THOUSANDS BOOS' AFTER BUSH WISHES EX-PREZ 'SPEEDY RECOVERY'; 'Bush did nothing to stop them'...

THEN RETRACTS... DEVELOPING...

Extensive coverage of MIShandling of reportage on WTMJ radio, per Mr. Tart.

ANYWAY, I seriesly doubt that good Republicans would boo this guy's bad health problems. (Give up those cigars, though!) If Her Heinous became a widow, the martyr effect would be obscenely Wellstonian. The dims would capitalize no end.

A couple of suggestions:  Try putting a small fluorescent lightbulb in your microwave and run it for about five minutes.  That will de-activate the monitoring devices and you can get a nice charred crust on your food thereafter too.
 
While I don't suggest going without an aluminum foil hat, you may want to consider removing any fillings you have too.  The TriLateral Commision and the Bilderburgers are monitoring your thoughts and incase of a Masonic uprising can take control of your body to make you join their drone army.  Everybody knows all dentists are affiliated with the Jewish bankers.

guys, the thing is, if this thread is only about the media falsely reporting, then yeah, in agreement. but when it goes into the "republicans would never act so shamefully" stuff, well, sadly, there's about a 1000-post thread on this site that says otherwise.
