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!

Rich White Guy = Republican (even if he really is a shill for Hill)

The plantation vote hasn't the discernment to differentiate.

a news network...but then we already knew that!

...not to mention that none in the crowd in your picture look
like they can read above 3rd grade level. Typical libtards!

Can you change the update on the headline? I saw the video and the shot actually appears at 7:37.

Someone better download this video and upload it to YouTube before the apparatchiks at CBS scrub it from their site.

It is noted where the video starts at the title.

The thread is also about the whole video, not just the sign.

Now that you have posted the time the sign appears everyone will be able to find it without waiting 30 seconds.

Thanks for the information.

The video can be found at other sites, but yes it is a good idea for many people to save it.

Either that or a Union lackey who just holds up whatever sign his master puts in his hands.

“The same idiot probably still has an 0bama sticker on its car next to the Kerry/Edwards one.”

You don’t know how right you are. Having escaped Madison years ago, I still have to drive to the “Fairyland of the Dairyland” for appointments and to visit family.

It’s truly amazing that as soon as I approach the city limits, I begin seeing vehicles plastered with obama/feingold/edwards etc. bumper stickers. Just yesterday a miniature car cut me off and I saw a faded Kerry sticker covered by an obama sticker. Typical behavior on both fronts by a brain-dead leftist.

I also saw that last evening while viewing the Palin speech...and I though that must be the thugs on the other side they were showing...
I said to the TV...’hey folks you are a few days late and a few votes short...like 7,300+’
LOL

Reuters banned my account today when I posted my comment about their biased story covering Gov. Sarah Palin.
Chickens.

I don’t doubt CBS would do this but check the video for more collaboration. I mentioned this story a couple of hours ago to a few folks who were at the event Saturday. There was one lady walking around with a Kloppenburg sign. It doesn’t make sense but with liberals there is no sense.

I have heard from enough people to believe a liberal idiot (forgive the redundancy) was there with a Kloppenburg sign. But given SeeBS’s not-so-distant history, my assumption seemed reasonable.

My local ABC affiliate, (WXOW La Crosse, Wis) spent about thirty seconds showing clips from Palin’s speech. They never interviewed one Tea Partier or Palin. Then it spent about two or three minutes interviewing protesters. The protesters were plainly trying to drown out Palin in their typical fascist style.

This should be sent around. That’s a good catch - and each one should be pounded on.
