Pelosi's Leftist Lies and the Propagandists Who Spread Them, Libel blogging A Different Kind of Fauxtography

UPDATE: Here are the screenshots of the libel at Huffington Post

Over at the Puff Ho they are trying desperately to substantiate the lies that Pelosi, O-thugs, and the disinformation blogs on the payroll of  subversive groups are spreading like so much manure. They are photoshopping pictures to make it look as if the protesters are acting like leftwing thugs.

The Huffington Post meme:

Pelosi Protesters, Including Kid In Stroller, Compare Obama To Hitler (hat tip Kasper)

Asked about the breakout of boisterous and occasionally violent protests at Democratic town hall events throughout the country, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs declared that the demonstrators were showing less civility and manners than his six-year-old daughter.

"Behave yourselves like your mom would probably tell you to do," Gibbs said when asked what piece of advice he would give to the demonstrators.

Look who is preaching us about civility - the thug administration. The good news is that the seniors are too smart to fall for such cheap tricks. The good news is that now average, ordinary Americans can see how evil and deceitful the Democrats are. It is no longer a media story they never heard or saw. It is them. The average American is being smeared. Now it is in the daily fabric of their lives. I hope the Dems keep the mask off, so that everyone can see the fifth column at work.

The nerve of these thugs. They are fascists. Ridicule is a rule for radicals, a tactic -- don't forget it. Do not back down. Do not cower. Do not go quietly into the night.

The Puffington Ho ran this pic cropped and calls it a "hitler salute," when in fact he is carrying a sign. Devils.

Here is what evil-tongued liars wrote:

In one image, a young man with a shirt that reads "Hitler Gave Great Speeches Too" is photographed making what looks like a Hitler salute. TalkLeft blogger Jeralyn Merritt interviewed the teen, who told her was 16 and hailed from former Gov. Sarah Palin's hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. The progressive website FireDogLake, has more

This sweet boy should sue. It is libel. He should sue every blog that ran this fallacious smear, and I have a screenshot of every blog that made the accusation. Every one. If any Atlas readers have this fellow's contact info, please email me, I have the screen shots and the owners of every blog that libeled him. Let's file a lawsuit. Any Atlas lawyer who wants to assist, please email me at PamelaGeller@yahoo.com.

 

The boy is actually carrying a sign:

 

Here is the video that the screen shots came from. The young man appears at minute 2:26 and  4:21, 5:48, 6:30....

This is the "proof" of the Pelosi lie. The kid is right. Fight fascism.

This is not this - which I saw at every leftwing rally during the Bush years - not a peep from anymore.

UPDATE: From Looking at the Left: Nancy and the The Astroturfers (Denver)

This was the scene when I arrived at Stout Street Clinic in downtown Denver. Nancy Pelosi is to pay a visit to the clinic within the hour. About 200 people opposed to Obama’s healthcare agenda braved the mile high Denver sun and high temperatures to show their opposition. Their signs indicate that they are well aware that they have been vilified and targeted in an Oval Office astroturfing campaign designed to discredit their opposition. 

First let’s look at the messages and faces of these hardy dissenters. Take a close look so you can compare them to the community organizers who will soon enter the scene and harass them. These citizens have been described by the Democratic National Committee in an ad as “angry mobs organized by desperate Republicans and their well funded allies.” 

The Democrat party that funneled billions in the stimulus package to ACORN community organizers to organize, protest and agitate, this same party is now livid that private citizens attend townhall meetings. 

These protesters told me that they pay their own way and question what the government is attempting to do to their health care. 

“When asked by a reporter whether the protests at various town-hall meetings represented legitimate grassroots opposition or were manufactured “AstroTurf” stunts, Nancy Pelosi replied, ‘I think they’re AstroTurf. You be the judge. They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.’”  -  Jonah Goldberg

Commonly at the tea parties and anti-big government protests hammers and sickles are  used to protest democrat policies. The Democrat Party doesn’t seem to have a problem with wall to wall hammers and sickles and has never complained publicly. Maybe they think it’s a compliment? I find that interesting and very telling.

“Meanwhile, Sen. Barbara Boxer insists the protests have to be fake because the protesters are too “well-dressed.” Likewise, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says this is all “manufactured anger” because the protesters — he calls them the “Brooks Brothers Brigade” — are too tastefully appointed to be authentic protesters. Apparently only filthy hippies can petition government.”    -  Jonah Goldberg

I don’t see swastikas or Brooks Brothers suits, but a few American flags and a lot of hand made, home made signs.

“The DNC has put out an ad claiming that the ‘right-wing extremist base” is out to “destroy” Barack Obama, so it has unleashed “angry mobs . . . mob activity straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives. They have no plan for moving our country forward, so they’ve called out the mob.’ ”

The DNC ad points to a memo written by an activist named Bob MacGuffie as proof that Republican political ops are pulling the strings. It turns out that MacGuffie, a decent-seeming fellow, is a rank amateur whose Right Principles PAC has collected a mere $5,017 and disbursed the staggering sum of $1,777, and has 23 members on Facebook and five followers on Twitter, according to The Weekly Standard’s Mary Katharine Ham.” – J. Goldberg

Here comes our community organizer with his bullhorn. For the next half hour or more, he will chant “FREE HEALTH CARE NOW”, “YES WE CAN” etc. with his horn directed at the faces of the health care dissenters.

During the election, on September 17, 2008, at a campaign stop in Nevada, Obama said “I want you to argue with them (neighbors) and get in their face”.

What we see here is “astroturfing” or manufactured fake grassroots. The dissenters are genuinely concerned and informed about their health care but they maintain their civility. The DNC knows their anger is real and they are desperately trying to deligitimize dissent by claiming it’s paid for “by insurance corporations” yet they don’t name a single one or provide evidence. 

It’s David Axelrod, Obama’s senior advisor, who is famous for inventing AstroTurfing. 

I had the first-ever interview on ASK with Eric Sedler, the “S” in ASK (the “A” is Axelrod). ASK prefers to lurk in the shadows as it promotes the causes and interests of its fat-cat clients with ad campaigns and astroturf tactics

This woman worked in tandem with the other organizer and blasted the same people from behind. These bullhorns are extremely powerful. I saw demonstrators repeatedly ask them to point their bullhorns away. This woman in particular responded by moving the bullhorn closer to a woman who complained of ear pain. 

Obama, on March 18, said “I don’t want to quell anger.  I think people are right to be angry.  I’m angry.  What I want us to do, though, is channel our anger in a constructive way. “ 

At that time, he wanted people protesting in the front yards of AIG executives. Now the DNC has ordered this harassment of grassroots dissenters against their statist goals. While in other parts of the country, this Democrat Party activity has descended into violence, what we have seen so far here today is only annoying and childish behavior. 

It’s David Axelrod, Obama’s senior advisor, who is famous for inventing astroturfing. Now he is using the same techniques he deployed for corporations to intimidate political freedom in this country. Here is an article about Axelrod and his companies if you want to study up.

I wanted to get away from the bullhorns so I walked around the corner and found a large group of protesters awaiting the arrival of Nancy Pelosi at the back of the Stout Street Clinic. No bullhorns, no astroturfers.

So far the astroturfers are on the other side of the building and are missing all the action.  They’re still holding on to their hard-won turf out front, having chased these people away with their bullhorns.

I stepped back for a wider view and this is what it looked like. 

A rather flustered organizer, late on the scene, tries to do catch-up with a rousing series of in your face rants.

 

Rubber chicken lady has had about enough of him as she gently tries to muffle his noise machine. Now we can actually all say we’ve seen a rubber chicken fly.

Marco caught the whole scene- start to finish - go here.

This tactic of attacking townhall concerned citizens and, then, accusing them of violence(!) is taken from Josef Goebbels and it is called turnspeak:http://tinyurl.com/maykk

Speaker Pelosi talks of astroturfing via the patriots when here Acorn and other groups are funded by George Soros. This hypocrisy, elevated to propaganda, is turnspeak.

As the tiny URL says, turnspeak is even improved upon as of Goebbel's day by the Muslims in their war against Israel.

It is very easy to tell the difference between an organized protest and a protest of people with a common purpose. The protest signs tell the whole story. Are they professionally made and bear a common message? It is proof of organization.

[mustang]

The lefties are using the old tried and true "rent a mob". and notice their pro made signs. The only fake people are the pro Obamabots.

[IndieJones]

Today the SEIU released a vid on 'Teabaggers' who are betrayed as violent while the Health Care advocates are shown as 'peaceful'. They used actual footage from a few town halls AND the scene shown at the end is of the beating of the guy attacked by a few SEIU mmebers...except they infer that it's the 'Teabaggers' that are violent.
Check it out before it gets pulled off of youtube due to the SEIU realizing that they shouldn't have posted that vid because now they are being sued by the victim.

I am shocked and angared that you call the Obama administration a thug administration. I can appreciate your need to use emotionally charged words, but that is a rediculous assertion. Frankly, under George W. Bush I felt less freedom and greater threat to national security than I have ever felt in my life, and I heve lived thru many Presidents.



Bush opened a war with Irag after lying to the USA about WMD's. This is not opinion, but fact. That war galvanized the radical muslims and probably did more to organize them than Usama Bin Laden and Al Queda ever did. Bush's strong man stance is admirable, but he would not even let ANYONE into his "public" meetings unless they signed a pledge. What was that, if not blatant speech supressing thuggery? Under Bush we locked up suspects without being charged or tried. What did our Patriots fight for, if not equal justice under law?

As the French quote goes, I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Best wishes,

Pamela, you don't have to look far to explain away the Dem's acceptance of the presence of the hammer & sickle. I almost fainted dead away when I saw the banners decorating the outside of the venue where the Democratic convention was held in Denver last summer. I'm sure you remember them - blue mountains at the bottom of a white banner, topped by a Red Star.

Perhaps you youngsters have forgotten, but in politics the Red Star is the symbol of international Communism. This is the symbol that appears on the cap of every Red Chinese member of the military from Mao on down. Soviet Russia used it for the same thing - and uses it on all of their military equipment (tanks and so on.) The Red Star is the symbol of the International Comintern. And even the title of a book - "Red Star Over China." (Republished and available on Amazon.)

Pamela, you might be interested in this exchange going on at Cold Fury these past two days. Our leftist brethren are absolutely incensed at being revealed as social fascists.

'Here I come to save the day'...Micky has arrived and we will be saved from the afflictions of the evil Bush...Well David...I too have been around long enough to live through many Presidents...I didn't like any of them...But the one I dislike the most is the one who lies the most...Every President lies...either directly or by omission...Sometimes this is due to actual national security, or when the Prez is caught with his hand in the cookie jar (Bill Clinton)...You count Bush lies, but don't recognize Obama lies...You detest one liar while supporting another...like many liberals, you drank the cool aid, and it has blurred your vision...The reason that Obama and his administration are being called 'thugs', is because that's the way they are acting...I can't define 'thug' but I know it when I see it...You are looking at the world through pink colored, Obama issued glasses...Notice the man with the bull horn in one of the photo's...He is also wearing a pair...It could become a liberal fad...A symbol of Obama thugism...all good thugs will want to wear them...They will most likely be standard issue for Obama's Civilian Security Force...But we don't worry about things like that...do we...

Before the terror attacks on 9/11, I visted the WTC, and remember popping into a Brooks Bros store nearby. I bought a rather nice, fine cotten, button down shirt which I still have.

Like many of the workers at the Twin Towers I bet.

I wonder how many of those poor, frightened men and women died wearing clothes from Brooks Bros?

The Obama J. crew all wear $2000 Armani suits, I bet.

[Jack Bauer]

Bush opened a war with Irag after lying to the USA about WMD's. This is not opinion, but fact.

No that's a lie. Saddam DID have WMD. He used WMD, he just didn't have not nukes.

The CIA, and the intelligence agencies all told Bush that Saddam had WMD, including nuclear capabilities. Saddam admitted that he deliberately set out to convince the world that he had WMD.

Bush may have been wrong, like the Democrats, but he didn't lie.

That war galvanized the radical muslims and probably did more to organize them than Usama Bin Laden and Al Queda ever did.

That's such a perverted and utterly ignorant read on the history of radical, terroristic Islam that it is laughable. It's pathetic.

Under Bush we locked up suspects without being charged or tried.

Under Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a quarter million US citizens were interned in prison camps on US soil. No charge, except on suspicion of living whilst being Japanese. No trial.

Six German "saboteurs" were executed after a secret military tribunal four weeks after capture after failing to sabotage anything.

They were held under the auspices of 1) violating the law of war; 2) violating Article 81 of the Articles of War, defining the offense of corresponding with or giving intelligence to the enemy; 3) violating Article 82 of the Articles of War, defining the offense of spying; and 4) conspiracy to commit the offenses alleged in the first three charges.

You see something in there. Laws of War?

Why don't you actually learn something instead of displaying your ignorance in public so freely?

Last night, I wasted five minutes watching Keith Olbermann rant about the "teabaggers" protesting government takeover of health care. The asshole actually used the footage of the SEIU thugs beating up the conservative black man in Tampa as proof of the violence occurring, leaving out the fact it was the SEIU UNION people doing the attacking. He blamed the anti-healthcare "mob". The world is truly upside down when this crap is allowed to occur on national television, regardless how tiny Olbermann's audience actually is. In fact, his national audience is about the same size as Cleveland. Total. I would LOVE to shove a pie in that idiot's condescending face.

Pamela, fantastic articles on Newsmax. I was finally able to sit down this morning and read them... Great job!

Clyde, I agree... Unfortunately I have found that our elderly continue to watch NBC, CNN, and the propaganda networks. We need to reach them. While visiting my aunt, I told her to shut that crap off and told her where to watch. I let her know there is no problem if she wants to watch these networks, but she had better start looking for some balance on the information provided.. She contacted me yesterday.... she is paying attention and passing the information on.

Granny,
It's interesting that you pointed out the red star's use as the symbol of international communism. May I add something? In every picture of Che Guevara wearing his beret he has a star pin prominantly displayed. I wonder how many high school or college students who are fans of that creep ever ask themselves "why is it there and what does it mean?".

Aside from the cookie cutter signs being a dead give away for an organized and backed protest, what about the bull horns? How many protests have you seen where the average folks use those obnoxious things versus the astroturfers? It's telling, I think.

[Rockmelon]

At the moment, this is still America! Let's not forget that we have both the right to protest and freedom of speach. That Pelosi and the rest of the sell-out crowd is critical to the point of insult is a measure of their lack of confidence in their policies and programs.

I have a Town Hall meeting coming up and I'm already laboring over what I should wear. If I dress down, I will be dismissed as a Republican plant. But if I dress up, I will be part of a lobby! And here I thought my only problem was getting to the meeting early enough to capture one of the 450 allotted seats!

I thank, from the bottom of my heart, each and every protester at all of the Town Hall and Tea Party attendees who are taking the time out of their schedules to voice their opinions and fears on behalf of all of those who are unable to join them!

We WILL prevail!

[pythagoras]

I now suspect that an Islamic version of Fu Manchu put this so-called heal;th care "reform" bill together.

And,say, doesn't Ms. Pelosi ("Nazi Lugosi") look a little peaked these days? And so does most of the rest of her Congressional cohorts. Maybe we need to set them up for some Obamareformed "health care." Like maybe some taxpayer-funded lobotomies for these guys, maybe....

[armaros]

There is a silver lining in all of this, people will see Obama for what he truly is. A hack.

Do not think people forgot the campaign talk, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi and other shananigans. They just choose to cut him some slack and decided to look the other way. Partly because of media manipulation but partly also because they just wanted a new management to take over and see it from there.

Now they see it for what it is. Soon, cracks will appear in the Democratic party as the radicals will start alienating the moderates the more the radicals will apply these Mugabe/Chavez tactics.
No president became so polarizing in such short time as this one. None.
It took Bush 6 years what Obama achieved in less than 6 months. A totally divided society and America facing a crossroad it hasn't faced since the great depression.

Each week I am shocked by what is happening despite having predicted this before November. Obama is Ayers and Wright. He is a radial agitator with no moral compass, no ideology other than a nihilistic hate of America and all it stands for. That is why the Joker comparison is the most brilliant and sophisticated political satire I have seen in decades.

The Joker manages to turn the masses against Batman, their protector, by manipulation, pranks and trickery. But as he overplays his hand each time do to his narcissistic self adulation, the more he is revealed as a weak and fragile clown hiding behind a mask revealing his self serving intentions.

The irony of having Obama fight his own tactics is beautiful and if I was religious I would say divine. Now he is forced to fight back and with each salvo his true colors emerge for all to see.
He is a weak president. He has no power outside of what he leases from his backers and kingmakers. Soros, Pelosi, Reid, Acorn and the rest are pulling his strings. The weaker he feels the more mistakes he will make and the more people will see him for what he is. They will also see his weakness and lose trust in him. The spiral has started to spin already. He is going down. This is the time to keep at him and force his hand so that his own dogs will eat him away.

[Azygos]

Armaros,

*Stands and applauds

I like the sentiment but I don't think enough of the fiddy-towers will wake up and see Obama for what he really is. He has already said he wants a core of Sturmabteilung. Communism has never had an original idea and Obama and his Czars, thugs, and bully's are no exception.

OT Over 2 million guns have been purchased since Obama took office. I believe some of us see the gathering storm and like any weather we can't control it.

Is anyone going to Portsmouth on Tuesday to Obambo's town meeting?

[clyde]

Actually, I don't think of Obama as Hitler, I think he's far more like Mussolini and his Fascist blackshirts. Mussolini's Fascism and Hitler's National Socialism blended well, however, with Hitler's being the more violent. Both were corrupt from the top down, and both crushed citizen's rights and crushed opposition. Both controlled national industry and social behavior too. Sound familiar? Healthcare, automobile industry, banking? It should.

One example of National Socialism you see on the roads today: Audi, produced by the same German company that Hitler bankrolled to develop racing cars to beat Mussolini-backed Alfa Romeo. Audi finally did it, and rolls on today. Audi's five-ring logo is the Olympic Rings, symbolizing the year Audi began: 1936, the year of the Nazi-sponsored Olympic Games.

Bullhorns are of course often used not so your point(s) will be heard in a crowd, but to drown out the voices of the opposition. That's a tactic utilized by those whose points can't be backed by facts or logic.

The Obamatons are like the little child who puts her hands over her ears and sings "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA" when an adult is trying to explain why the child can't or shouldn't do something or have something they want... no amount of truth, facts, logic, or reasoning will make a difference, because they just don't want to hear it. They want to believe in the dream, and don't need you messing up the fantasy.
