PushBack blog has two interesting stories about local teabaggers.
One is that Dana Loesch fabricated a story for Fox News implying that ACORN was getting some special benefits from a government website. The story explains what’s actually going on at the website. Loesch’s story is a crock–but one that’s gaining her fame among the wingnuts.
The second piece points out that winger Jim Hoft linked to a race-baiting video from a white supremacist and anti-Semitic YouTube channel and so far has refused to take it down even after acknowledging the questionable source. But heaven forfend that we accuse wingers of being racist.
The problem has been that every time one of these idiots presents one these very creative (i.e., lying) claims, the White House, congressperson, or whatever recoils shivering in terror, and capitulates over the issue in question thus giving an impression of actual guilt. As for Loesch, she is emerging as a typical shrill, right-wing bully-girl and should be treated as such. Getting on TV seems to have really gone to her already rather swollen head so expect to see much worse from her in the future.
