The leftist group Think Progress has taken down and edited a video smearing the Tea Party movement as racist after being caught using three year old footage. The group kept in footage and images of leftist provacateurs who were caught infiltrating Tea Party rallies with racist messages.
Think Progress originally released a 53 second YouTube video yesterday entitled "Tea Party Racism". That video is now blocked and was replaced this morning with an edited version that runs 50 seconds.
Taken out was two short clips of a white man yelling, "Go home wetbacks." That footage turned out to have been posted to YouTube on September 4, 2006.
Also in the video is a still image of a sign that says, "White People Are Pissed." That sign was carried by a leftist infiltrator at the April 2010 Tea Party Express rally in Boston that featured Sarah Palin.
The man in the photo below was run out of a rally by Tea Party activists for wearing Nazi patches on his clothing.
Video of the confrontation can be found here.
Think Progress selectively edited that video of the provacateur being run out of the Tea Party rally and included it in their video to paint the Tea Party as racist.
These deceptions call into question the entire video by Think Progress.
This video of racism by the NAACP has not been called into question, just ignored by the media.
bttt
The motto of the Alinsky followers: The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge.
Besides this is agitation pure and simple. They want all non-whites to disregard the Tea Parties with a hiss - racists. The Tea Parties must frighten the dickens out of of these creeps.
Funny you should say that. I wanted to start a rumor that I would hope would go viral: Newspapers are now hiring illegals to replace their journalists. LOL
One can see they’re lefties just by looking at them. They look like the usual unbathed G-20 rent-a-mob protest zombies.
As long as the lamestream media doesn’t report their lies, fakeries and distortions, why wouldn’t they continue?
Funny, I thought that fist thing had to do with gay stuff (Yeah, I know, it’s a pun).
Apologies to those who read this while they were having lunch.
Think Progress is a blog edited by Shakir that "provide[s] a forum that advances progressive ideas and policies."[
-SNIP-
The Center for American Progress publishes a daily email newsletter entitled The Progress Report, which is a recap and analysis of major political news in the United States, providing a progressive perspective on the day's stories. The authors are Faiz Shakir, Amanda Terkel, Satyam Khanna, Matthew Corley, Ali Frick, and Benjamin Armbruster
The Center for American Progress is a liberal[1][2][3][4] public policy research and advocacy organization. Its website states that the organization is a "research and educational institute dedicated to promoting a strong, just, and free America that ensures opportunity for all."[5] It has its headquarters in Washington D.C.[6]
Its President and Chief Executive Officer is John Podesta, who served as chief of staff to then U.S. President Bill Clinton. Located in Washington, D.C., the Center for American Progress has a campus outreach group, Campus Progress, and a sister advocacy organization, the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Citing Podesta's influence in the formation of the Obama Administration, a November 2008 article in Time stated that "not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan's transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway."[7]
the socialists, the communists, the black racists ,far left loons and the homosexuals are running so afraid that they have had to keep resorting to the same tactics as last year which did not work then and will not work now.
What amazes me is how some people are still so dumb when it comes to the rat party.
There is still Dems out there which really think that the rat party does not do voter fraud, steal elections, call people names and are intolerant .
It’ is these people which will never understand anything and have to be told their bumper sticker slogans.
Hell they even tell themselves that they are more educated to make themselves fell better.
Thank you.
LOL
you only have ot look at a lefty crowd to see how scruffy , no class, no dress sense and rude they are.
I watched the Dem rallies before the election and I swear the women are ugly and mean looking the men look like a bunch of pansies or aging hippies.
The younger ones look like they dragged themselves out of bed.
It really is easier nowadays to tell a lefty even when out shopping, going to the Docs etc.
Good work! I hope you sent this to Fox. It would make a good story.
Busted!
Ping.
Good work Kristinn
If they’re liberals they are lying. What else do they have?
Yes!!!

There was a large group of students from Emerson College, which is just off of Boston Common, at that rally in April, 2010. We had a couple standing behind us yelling about health care. My husband asked one of them how much he paid for his health insurance. He said he didn't know, because he was covered by his Dad. Hubby just laughed and told him we'd pay attention to him, when he's paying for his own health care, under Obama.
Well, they've found out that nothing is going to happen to them, so why not?
What they are doing is wrong, but not illegal. All that can be done is to expose what they are doing.
