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!
Yeah, I caught that after I posted the first time. They looked attached in the still. it’s definitely clear in the video. It’s pretty ridiculous that someone would bring a “vote for Klop” sign after the election. Not a conspiracy.
I know BS when I CBS....
OK, then. Thanks for clearing it up.
Oh my. SEE BS. Good catch.
These same jackass apologists for the Hussein Cult also, it has been discovered,are receiving TAXPAYER FUNDED RETIREMENT BAILOUTS from HUSSEIN's REGIME!
A hearty Well Done!
So if that sign was at the rally today, then it is clear the union thugs are morons who are illiterate, cannot read a calendar, and are zombies for their bosses.
What a bunch of idjits.
Your link goes to a generic and ever-changing video page on CBS.com. The video you mention, I can’t even find.
Bravo Zulu!!!
Are you suggesting the media lies to favor a liberal view?
Frankly, it's criminal fraud. If Wisconsin had an AG worth his salt, there would already be charges filed.
Lot of conservative activism happening in Wisconsin.
Excellent investigative journalism, comps4spice.
Too bad the lame-stream media doesn’t do half as good a job as you do.
I’m an old CBS newsie. You may have a great Rathergate-level or close to it catch here. It could be a great catch, or simply an old sign.
#1: Check for other clues, outside temperatire as indicatged by clothes, cloudy, sunny, etc., billboards if any seen, prior useage of video, etc. I will check as well as much as I can.
#2: Get to Drudge ASAP. Every media watches Drudge for scoops. Our “Biden reporter in closet” story got legs when FR was featured on Drudge.
#3 Get to FOX directly.
Gopher it!
Is this possibly a "NUTS" psyop?
The beautiful thing is that CBS inadvertently showed their sloppiness in letting out an image that shows the level of competence of the people that liberals rely on as aggrieved protesters.

Yes they did. I was there on 9/12/09.
Another stunt the D.C. liberal establishment pulled was to send a fire truck with sirens blaring through the crowd in front of the capital.
Guess they figured they could get some footage of the fire truck getting impeded, but the crowd just parted. I spoke with the park grounds director and he said they did it on purpose and pointed out a clear route they could have taken if it was a real emergency.
Could be a psyop, or the guy could just be an idiot. I have heard from enough people who saw other video footage at places like Breitbart.com who say the sign was there yesterday.
I would much prefer to hear from someone who was actually at the event and can say categorically they saw the sign yesterday. Breitbart could have collected footage from multiple sources, and assumed the one from CBS was valid.
