CBS News Sandbags Tea Party in Madison - Their Video Gives It Away [Update at 14, 52 (Video@7.05min)
See BS ^ | April 16, 2011

Posted on 04/16/2011 5:41:20 PM PDT by comps4spice

I caught the CBS News evening report tonight for the first time in about 2 decades. They led off with a report of Sarah Palin's speech in Wisconsin, and they of course provided liberal spin.

They claim there were far more liberals (i.e. union thugs) than Tea Partiers (claiming the thugs surrounded the smaller Tea Party crowd).

But something caught my eye during the report, specifically when they did a pan of the "liberal crowd"...but they pulled a Dan Rather by using video footage from some liberal rally prior to the April 5th Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

How do I know this? Well, if you go have a look at the video in the link above, pay close attention at the 18 second mark. There is a campaign sign being held by a liberal saying to "Vote Klappenburg on April 5th".

Here's a screen capture of the 18 second mark in the video (note that I included the entire title of the CBSNews.com video:

Why would someone come to a rally on April 16th with a sign for an election that has already been held (and lost by the libs)? Because the footage isn't from today...it's from earlier this year.

Why would See BS do this? No other reason than they didn't have the visuals to prove their were more union thugs than Tea Partiers...so they did a tried and true See BS method: they made it up!

awesome-you can also see on the left a sign about “it’s our money” or something and that tells me it’s lefties. That was their cry during that whole teacher thing in WI..that was one of their signs they used during that teacher fiasco.

Fantastic. I bet we(FR) could find a whole lot of proof examining the whole video.

Hats off to you my FRiend.

Like most Liberal rally attendees, they haven’t a clue about the issues.... they’re only there because they were promised free eats, beer and a fun bus ride.
