The Lie That Won't Die

The latest tiresomely obsessive anti-Tea Party fabrication video from ThinkRegress:

And now, as the late Paul Harvey used to say, "the rest of the story":

Activist 1 is being smeared as a racist by Think Progress, even though he was attending a tea party event with his black wife and bi-racial son. It takes a lot of nerve to edit a video so dishonestly that what remains is the opposite of what the speaker intended. Here is what Activist 1 actually said in the full video recording:

Barack Obama’s just a bad guy. That’s all I can say. He’s … he’s too black to be president. And you look at the color of my wife, it’s not the color of his skin that troubles me, it’s not the blackness of his skin that troubles me.

It’s the blackness inside … his heart. He’s a bad guy.

Activist 2 is a favorite of Think Progress, and no wonder: he says exactly what they hoped to hear a tea partier say, exclaiming: “I’m a proud racist, I’m white.” Think Progress liked this clip so much they played it not once, but twice.

The problem is, Activist 2 isn’t a tea party protester. He is a tea party crasher.

Think Progress is well aware of this, as they pulled the few seconds of video from a nearly six-minute video of actual tea party protesters singling him out for scorn and chasing him away!

Activist 3 is a little more perplexing. I’m not sure what he means by “Afro-Leninism.” Possibly, it is a reference to the 20 years Barack Obama spent as an eager congregant at Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church, which preaches a racist Marxist liberation theology. But I don’t know, and objectively, neither does Think Progress. No intellectually honest person could make the claim that Activist 3 is a racist from his video.

Activist 4?

He is the reason the original 53-second Think Progress video has shrunk down to an even more anemic 50 seconds.

His brief — inarguably racist — shout of “Go home wetbacks!” is provably a video from 2006.

Years before the tea party existed.

To their credit, Think Progress eventually took down Activist 4’s information.

To their embarrassment is more like it.

But remember: This is the Left's propaganda Narrative.  And they're going to push it, no matter how baseless it is.  If there's no evidence that the American people are racist, they'll just fabricate it.  If there are no facts to back it up, they'll make 'em up.  And if you refuse to buy the BS they're pushing, that's proof that YOU'RE one of "them" and deserving of the same fate.

Don't worry, though.  Obamunists are only calling Us, The People "racists" because Republicans are completely out of power.  After November, the "racist" growls will have John Boehner and Eric Cantor and Mike Pence (and maybe Mitch McConnell and Jon Kyl) and whoever ends up as the 2012 GOP presidential nominee as fresh targets.

It really is inevitable, because they really have nothing else to say.
