Think Progress Caught Using Liberal-Manufactured Signs From ‘Crash the Tea Party’ as Evidence of Tea Party Racism

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Do you remember the abortive “Crash the Tea Party” movement? It was the brainchild of a liberal that explicitly called for progressives to commit fraud in order to attempt to discredit the Tea Party protests.

At Pajamas Media we covered the abortive effort extensively, and made note of the very real bigotry the Crashers unwittingly revealed… in themselves.

This morning, I came across this video from Think Progress:

Typical of the kind of dishonest effort Think Progress produces, the video heavily edits clips so that you have no idea what the context of a statement is or precisely what someone they’ve edited is trying to say.

Worse, the video “liberally” makes use of counter Tea Party protesters and infiltrators, including “Crash the Tea Party” drones, in order to fabricate their view.

The guy who claims “I’m a proud racist, I white” was actually driven out of the Tea Party protest he attempted to infiltrate.

Nice work, Think Progress!

Seconds later, Think Progress stitches together a series of posters they claim belong to Tea Party protesters.

Really, Think Progress?

Did you not think we’d remember the amusing signs your fellow liberals created for their little abortive “Crash the Tea Party” stunt in Boston? Let’s just say that some were more amusing than others, and some just showed pathetic and angry progressives often are.

There is an old saying that you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

At Think Progress, they’re ready to make up the “facts,” yet again.

Update: Oh, Think Progress… did you really think you’d get away with it?

Also, RightKlik discovers that another of the men featured in the video made his comments in 2006… well before the Tea Party was even a dream.

Update: Think Progress even tried to portray the father of a bi-racial boy as a racist as he speaks in front of his own son.

Seriously… is there anyone in this video who is what Think Progress says they are?

These smokescreen tactics are going to louder and more numerous as there's very little that liberals can point to on Obama's record that can resonant with the public. Ignore the economy and everything else with the usual fear tactics to drum up the base voters because they're the one's left.

Is anyone surprised? (other than madhouse the democrat rump-swab)

Think Progress, MoveOn, DailyKos, and Media Matters are terrorist organizations that work directly for the democratic party.

or is the other way around actually...

I wonder if Pelosi still meets weekly with the founders of MoveOn to discuss policy..

The self-righteous indignation in this thread is hilarious. Where was this when tea baggers were crashing town hall meetings and interrupting with their insipid questions that had no factual basis?

Paul, you're being a bit melodramatic. Terrorists? Then by your logic, so are the teabaggers and dittoheads, newsmax, fox news, and American Renaissance.

More likely, does anyone care apart for irredeemable partisan zealots whose claims to being "independent" or "libertarian" are so much self deluded BS?

How would label yourself politically?

I would guess well within the realm of Labour.

It was widely available from the Democrat supporters here.

But here's the difference. The Tea Party supporters were the ones asking questions and causing a commotion at those town hall meetings. They did it in the open, mainly because there was no point in hiding who they were.

This is a different kind of animal. This is deception. This is opponents spreading falsehood and misinformation. And for what? If the Tea Party lacks credibility, substance and direction, as they say, then it will fade away on its own. All this fifth-column-like deceit serves to do is breathe renewed life into that which they seek to bring down.

How would you label yourself sexually?

Sounds like you interest in me has blossomed beyond the realm of politics.

I'd ask you the same question but for once I wouldn't want a clear answer.

Ok Dave. You know what they say about flattery... I'm not sure that really applies when you're doing it to yourself.
