It seems that the pictures of Obama as Hitler--which was reported on by DailyKos, HuffPo, and others--was actually being held by a John Dingell supporter (he was handing out Dingell literature at the end of the rally)! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!
Furthermore, if you look at the bottom of the poster, you can pretty easily see the link listed there: http://www.larouchepac.com ...now there's a right-wing organization (NOT!). So I went to the website...front page, upper right corner--"Stop Obama's Nazi Health Plan"--wow! So I clicked on that button...and hey, look at that, a button for the "I've Changed! Obama Poster"...it's the same picture! But wait, what do LaRouche and his supporters really stand for anyway? Digging a little deeper, LaRouche has not only been affiliated with the US Labor Party (once), but also with the Democratic Party (seven times) in his bids for president. And not only that, his approach to health care is this...
1. abolish HMO's (BTW, given to us by Ted Kennedy in the 60's--THANKS TEDDY!)
2. revive the 1946 Hill-Burton Act
3. institute a single-payer system
WOW, this guy is full of right-wing talking points! Or not so much...
So, DailyKos, HuffPo, etc...why dontcha return to Journalism 101 and cross-check stories before you post 'em! Why dontcha try not to simply jump to a convenient conclusion that is not supported by the facts! And please stop taking every single opportunity to abdicate your responsibility as journalists and conveniently lay the blame at the feet of right-wingers no matter how thin the evidence. In this particular instance, YOU CHOKED! Nice try, though.
NEXT!!!!
