The Maverick Conservative

Remember that Associated Press story about "hecklers" at a Cliton rally disrupting the rally and chanting "iron our shirts" (I think with props).  I COORECTLY called that story featured by the despicable AP and AOL as a PRO-CLINTON propaganda story.

It was always clear that no real anti-Clinton sexists would bbe dumb enough too think that such a stunt would do anything but help Hillary Clinton.  As was predictable, the "pranksters" have basically been shown to be Clinton SUPPORTERS (certainly not Clinton opponents), trying to gain attention and HELP Hillary Clinton.  In other words, it was a PLANTED pro-Clinton story.   The only question is WHO planted it.

Most likely, these were "clever" young leftists who thought this up on their own.  It is not, however, impossible that some people in the Clinton campaign encouraged the idea.  But  there is no real evidence for that.

Note, however, how INCOMPETENT and DESPICABLE the despicable Assoicated Press and AOL were.  They ran this sotry at face value, WITHOUT FACTS.  They were not interested in facts.

What was the ONLY thing that made this prank "news"?  Right.  It was the PURPOSE of the prank, and who was doing it for what reason.  The despicable AP, and others in the mainstream media, were uninterested in that.  Taking the story at face value, even though incopetent "journalism", fit their agenda perfectly.  That is why I (correctly, I remind you) called the story--at the time--pro-Clinton PROPAGANDA.  The pro-feminist, anti-sexist, message was obvious, and the whole point of both the prank and the story.

Any REAL "journalist" would never have written the story without finding out the facts surrouding who was behind this "disruption", and for what reason.  That is the easy way to identify propaganda;  the interest is in HYPING a certain version of the "news" and NOT in the facts (or putting events in proper persspective).

This was actually a contender for a previous "Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate" award (my weekly award for truly outrageous conduct).  I am talking about the MEDIA incompetently hyping this story at face vallue, and NOT the pranksters.
