I’m an old TV network newsie and thought I had seen some examples of liberal-slanted journalism, but this is the worst ever.
There is a huge story now going viral over the internet, courtesy of the far-left New York Daily News. It’s about to start race riots, and it is completely false. It's probably all a combination of liberal hate and a sick attempt to sell more papers.
Jeff Schoep, head of a Detroit-based neo-Nazi group, told Riptide that some armed members of his organization are now READY TO patrol Sanford, Florida, scene of the Trevor Martin shooting. The story was picked up by the New York Daily News, but rather than saying the neo-Nazis were supposedly “ready” to “patrol” Sanford, the Daily News headline shouted that the neo-Nazis were already in Sanford, armed, “ARE PATROLING” and ready to protect the “white people.”
Now other media have picked up the story. Pictures of armed members of Schoep’s National Socialist Members in the desert a few years ago suggest they were taken in Sanford tonight.
The reality is that the story is COMPLETELY BOGUS. Schoep is a publicity-seeking psychotic on par with Al Sharpton. I have just returned from Sanford where I spoke more than a dozen people. They know what is going on in town, and are all proven sources. These are people who were very instrumental when the Dem lawyer tried to get the military ballots thrown out in Bush v. Gore. They are solid.
There are no bands of armed neo-Nazis in Sanford. The story is complete BS.
This is the worst “journalism” I have ever seen.
First, this idiot Schoep bragged that he had a group of volunteers “ready” to “patrol” Sanford. (Schoep is in Detroit. It’s a hell of a drive to Sanford for “patrolling” each night.) Schoep never claimed any of his “volunteers” were here. Even at that, no one ever thought to check out even one element of this buffoon’s claim. Schoep is known to be willing to say anything to get publicity... and would love to start a race war.
Then the Daily News reported the neo-Nazis ARE HERE, again with no attempt at confirmation. This is worse than the NBC edit of Zimmerman’s phone call to make him sound like a racist.
Then many other media pick up the story, again, with no attempt at confirmation.
In the old UPI City Room in Chicago, there was a prominent sigh that told all reporters: “If Your Mother Says She Loves You…. Check it Out!” The idiots reporting this story as fact should have their word processors confiscated, their copy shredded, and their sheaves of pencils broken…. over their pointy little heads.”
If a race riot breaks out over this, this is ALL the Daily News’ fault. It’s a far-left liberal rag and they will do anything to sell papers!
Anyone who goes anywhere near proposed “patrol area” is not going to have any sympathy from me...well, aside from the poor hapless citizens who live there that is.
Just read it on drudge.
With some interesting comments.
You brought out these points in posts on previous threads.
And we still don’t see why you are getting your knickers in a knot over this.
It’s just gossip spead by bloggers. Probably with approval from the racists in the White House and the media along with the race pimping reverends.
But remember. When your enemy is shotting himself in the foot, don’t stop him.
I agree. From what I’m seeing and hearing, the state run MSM is definitely trying to start a race war in his country. Where are the DOJ and the buffoons on Capitol Hill? They need to get off of their asses before this gets completely out of hand.
Obama. The great divider.
Don’t want to spoil my Easter so I am holding my comment. Praying that these things stop before too many are hurt or worse.
Heading up to Victorio’s for some fresh oysters on Monday. Maybe I’ll swing through Sanford afterwards and get some shots of Jackson and Sharpton ;)
Hey MB, have you heard anything else on that hammer attack in Midway about a week or so ago? It’s like it fell completely off the radar three or four days ago and I’ve yet to hear anything since. A complete blackout on it.
Arrests were made.
What better excuse to exercise Presidential powers in ordering martial law and dictatorial control. Hitler did this back in the day with the burning of the Reichstag.
Whatever happened to confirmation from 2 sources?

If it looks like 0 will lose the election ,perhaps due to the economy, count on martial law.
Who is Trevor Martin?
Atta Boy !!! Once stuff like this gets posted and FRs get active they can put the HO s in the media down for what they are....
confirmation from two sources...both obama husseins long and short form birth certificates are forgeries.
the truth (to answer your question) can be found, though is not being reported.
Sanford is crawling with race-baiting reporters right now.
If there really were neo-Nazis roaming the streets, there would be a million photos online already.
They won't stop the lies.
They have every intention of helping OWS and the New Black KKK burn the country to the ground this summer.
Never heard of a Trevor Martin.
Treyvon Martin died in Sanford, Florida. This is true.
