"Kill Him" Story Proven Bogus

As an old saying goes, "A lie will travel half way around the world before truth can get its boots on."

The bogus "vicious Republicans" story that went viral is proven to be a lie. However, that didn't stop the mainstream media from broadcasting it far and wide in an effort to slander Republicans. Now that it has been shown to be false, you can be assured that they will make no mention of it whatsoever.

SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."

News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.

I've described the Dem strategy before and I will recap it once more: the Dems create an outrageous lie about Republicans; Democrat politicians pick up the story and denounce Republicans as if the story were true; the mainstream media broadcasts the accusations to the skies from the rooftops; and Barack Obama repeats the accusation at a presidential debate (like he did last night). The accusation, of course, was a lie all along. But it was such a useful lie for the Democrats, who by now have planted it in the minds of voters far and wide. It no longer matters if it's true because many will believe it anyway. It has done its work and the Dems who spread the lie are satisfied with their success.

Democrats are not about "democracy." To them, politics is war, the end justifies the means, and anyone who stands in their way of power are "fair game" for personal destruction. That is exactly why they should not be elected.
