Think Progress Ripped Content From Tea Party Video To Create Fraudulent Racism Vid

You would have thought that the three separate entries I dedicated to exposing the lies yesterday in this article and video by the progressive propagandists at Think Progress, I would have said all there is to say.

But there is more... and it is shocking.

Remember "Activist 2," the Saint Louis Team Party infiltrator, that claimed "I'm a proud racist, I'm white?"


It seems that Think Progress used a clip from this video, a video entitled "Proof that the Tea Party is not racist."



The guys at SharpElbows.Net thwarted this infiltrator, heavily documenting his attempt to mingle with Tea Party protesters in Saint Louis.

Think Progress misrepresented everything this video and the Tea Party stands for, and against.

If staffers, including editor-in-chief Faiz Shakir should not be terminated for this behavior, I'd like to know why.

1 Faiz Shakir?

Wasn't he one of President Obama's roommates at Columbia?

2 Here's why: because they don't give the tiniest imaginable d*mn about accuracy or anything else that goes against their agenda.

4 You answered your own question when you described the people at Think Progress as progressive propagandists. That was a pretty nice description compared to the one that comes to my mind: fascist enablers.

5 ThinkProgress does have an earlier piece on the subject, but it's typically clueless. It correctly quotes the "gentleman": “I’m with the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan. We are a white unit.” But fails to note that's an incorrect pronunciation (it's "Ku Klux Klan" ). The guy may be a dumb racist, but more likely he's a Moby.

The piece also makes a big deal out of Sharp never accusing the guy of being a leftist, which unfortunately ignores the large sign in the background (with "Soros-paid stooge" among other unflattering labels).

So in order to defend TP from the fraud charge, we'd have to believe they're stupid enough to believe their own propaganda. OK, fair enough, maybe they are.

6 “I’m with the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan. We are a white unit.”

Perhaps he's a former Cincinnati Reds follower, and was a big fan of Ted Kluzewski.

7 “I’m with the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan. We are a white unit.”

Oh yeah! Wow, that's great man. The white units are the best units, very much in the old school mold of Robert Byrd.

Why didn't that guy show up at Byrd's nice little funeral? He coulda hung out and talking about those people one last tahm!

these morons are stuck in high school hell.

8 Are you kidding about terminating TP staffers for this? They'll get a pat on the back for it. Soros and his minions embrace the lie, the bigger and bolder the better.
