Washington Post Quickly Redacting Sensational But Untrue Romney Story

Seems obviously Obama Controlled newspaper Washington Post created an untrue story about Romney and bullying that never happened just in time for Team Obama to use it (to vilify Romney) as part of the Obama’s calculated announcement of Obama’s personal support of gay marriage.  This 17-page fabricated story by the Washington Post should be a good warning of what we are in for this upcoming election season.  Team Obama and their government controlled media minions obviously will say and do anything to make their point regardless of the truth.  This should worry anyone and everyone who loves America and respects the Constitution and values any type of  decency.

When we get to the point that the press cannot be trusted to do their job, tell the and are controlled by the government, the loss of freedom is right around the corner!  The only way to correct that is to cancel your subscription and stop buying and reading the papers, magazines, or watching the news programs who do and have lied.  The Washington Post (as well as Team Obama) has just proved again that they can’t be trusted or believed.  How about a few of these news sources start by honestly vetting the President, which they didn’t do in 2008.

Whoa: Family of Romney’s Alleged Bullying “Victim” Says Story Inaccurate, They’re Disgusted by WaPo

by Stephan Tawney on May 10, 2012

Ashley Parker of the New York Times has a statement from the family of John Lauber, the man the Washington Post claimed Mitt Romney bullied in high school. She tweets:

From John Lauber’s family, the bullied victim in WaPo story: “We are aggrieved that John would be used to further a political agenda.”

Also from John Lauber’s family: “The portrayal of John is factually incorrect,” but they would not elaborate on how it was inaccurate.

This comes after one source for the story, a man the Washington Post says has “long been bothered” by the incident, said he wasn’t even present and had no idea it had happened until the Post contacted him.

It’s increasingly clear that the Washington Post either misreported or simply lied about the story in an attempt to hurt the Romney campaign. Someone needs to be held accountable by the newspaper.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post is quietly airbrushing passages in the story. 

Washington Post Caught Making

Sh!t Up Again

Remember when Gov. Rick Perry of Texas was looking like a viable candidate?

Oh God, please don't remind me...I'm almost over it....

Yeah, sorry about this Rick, but it's gotta be done. Just as Perry was getting his campaign moving the Washington Post decided this would be a perfect time to dredge up some useless fact from decades in the past about a piece of land the Perry family leased to hunt on that had this big rock with a racial slur painted on it.

The MSM spent over a week flogging the story to death from coast to coast despite the fact that if you looked at the details you would notice:

1. The Perry family only leased a part of the land, they did not own it, it did not belong to them.

2. They did not paint the offensive slur on the rock.

3. The rock was painted over long ago.

But this apparently was the only way the MSM could tie 'Rick Perry' and the word 'N***r' together in the same sentence and hey, you have to work with what you get. So we got days 'n days of outrageous OUTRAGE!!! over this LAND THAT THE PERRY FAMILY OWNED where they had PAINTED THIS TERRIBLE WORD n stuff!

Today the Washington Post thought it would be a great idea to look back into Mitt Romney's school days way back in 1965 at some pranks he did as a kid.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romneys-prep-school-classmates-recall-pranks-but-also-troubling-incidents/2012/05/10/gIQA3WOKFU_print.html

There are several real problems with that article, but thus far here's the main one that has developed over this particular passage about a prank where Romney cut another student's hair:

Stu White was interviewed today after WaPo put that article up about the cutting of Lauber's hair. What did he say about it?

OOPS! Retracto, the Amazing Retraction Alpaca at Big Journalism has contacted WaPo reporter Jason Horowitz to ask 'Hey Dude, WTF?!':

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/05/10/Retracto-Romney-Bully

Waiting to see if a retraction/correction occurs. Stay tuned!

UPDATE!

When I checked the WaPo article again at 9:40 pm CST, it has now been changed to read this way:

Nowhere in the article does the Washington Post admit they have made a retraction/correction to the news story.

UPDATE II: ....and the story just keeps falling apart:

Now one of Lauber's sisters says she had no knowledge whatsoever of any bullying incident: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/sister-of-alleged-romney-target-has-no-knowledge-of-any-bullying-incident/#.T6yUKQh3n2E.twitter

Retracto the Correction Alpaca is back from vacation, tanned (as much as any alpaca can be), rested, and is taking up the case. He/her/it is going to be working overtime in the coming months.

When reporters misreport they are liars or traitors.

So… Does WaPo Know Obama Shoved a Little Girl? Where is that ‘true’ story?

Obama admits: yeah, I bullied a little girl

The press dutifully dug up a story (a mostly false story) that Mitt Romney used to bully gay kids when he was a teenager – but they failed, once again, to read Barack Obama’s own memoir, Dreams from My Father. In it, he explicitly describes bullying a young girl and shoving her to the ground. Is this a composite of all the women he’s beaten in his life? Get the full story.

UNBELIEVABLE?! Newt loves FDR, models himself after Woodrow Wilson and admires SEIU’s Andy Stern…

Yet with Progressive role models like these, the only Speaker ever to be sanction by the House, recent questionable connections to lobbying for Freddie and Fannie… yesterday in the  South Carolina primary, supposedly a conservative state, Washington insider Newt Gingrich pulled off a major victory over Mitt Romney #2, Rick Santorum #3 and Ron Paul #4… and that after his second wife resurrected her story of Newt’s philandering with a supposed request for an open marriage.

AP  -  Is New t really the most electable, best representative of conservative values, or less moderate than Mitt Romney ?

Beck Show on Gingrich

It’s not as if Newt couldn’t have known his past comments were going to eventually be called into question. He’s capably navigated his way through his big government tendencies so far and miraculously still has solid support in the Tea Party. Will the latest damaging clip have any impact? Gingrich is caught praising his favorite president of the 20th century: FDR. Yup, he picked the mother of all progressives ahead of Ronald Reagan.

Watch this video montage:

Cue sound of heads exploding across the country…NOW!

Seriously?! This is unbelievable.

“This goes back to what Newt Gingrich said on this program. You got to get things done. That’s akin to saying we all love the Constitution but there are things we got to do,” Glenn warned.

“FDR did get things done, and then they were ruled unconstitutional,” Stu joked.

But that’s not the worst thing – on the clip at the top of the page Glenn reads a story where Gingrich praised SEIU’s Andy Stern in one of his books.

In his book “Real Chance: From the World That Fails to the World That Works,” Gingrich praises the SEIU head, who remains a close adviser of the President Obama. Pitching the need for conservatives to respect organized labor, while simultaneously pushing back against some of
Labor’s more cherished legislative goals, he wrote the following:

” Conservatives cannot cheer unions overseas and then be blindly anti-union here at home. There are legitimate historic reasons for workers to organize together, and there is a strong need for a healthy, competitive, union, movement that helps improve the lives of its members and the competitiveness of our country.

Andy Stern, the head of the Service Employees International Union, is the union leader who probably best understands the challenge of the
world market and the need to make American union members productive in the face of world competition. Sadly, he is a distinct minority among
union leaders. “

“So he loves Andy Stern,” Glenn said. “If he can’t figure it of Stern is a Socialist communist dirt bag then he shouldn’t be the leader of the free world.”

And he admits to be a fan of Woodrow Wilson!

Watch Newt claim to be a “realpolitik Wilsonian” Here:

Nobody that loves, emulates, or admires FDR, Woodrow Wilson and Andy Stern is a true conservative… for those 2-men are all Progressives… Progressive heroes. (These men are the heroes and friends of Obama and his czars).  And someone with 3-wives, two divorces, a long history of affairs and a tendency for grandiosity (Newt has also compared himself or Pericles, Abraham Lincoln, Moses, and  a Viking) even if he has changed, beats Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney as social conservatives.  Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have been model husbands and fathers.

One must ask… what happened to value voters and the tea party?  Is it all really only talk?

The Newt World Order… Worth a Look and Some Consideration

Not looking at all good for Gingrich!

"The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution," he said. "Under our [constitutional system] - either we're going to have to rethink our Constitution, or we're going to have to rethink our process of decision-making." He went on to profess an oxymoronic belief in "very strong but limited federal government," and pledged, "I am for the United Nations." said Newt Gingrich

That is certainly no surprise since his mentor is none other than former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger (also a CFR member, Trilateralist and one-world internationalist or globalist, just like Newt).  "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people." …Henry Kissenger

While in Congress Newt supported GATT, NAFTA, WTO, has done a commercial with Progressive Princess Nancy Pelosi supporting global warming legislation, and although it will take some compromise to deal with 11 million (more like 22 million) illegal aliens living the United States, after securing our borders Newt’s stated plan is leaning pretty far into the Amnesty Arena.

This maybe the most important election of our lives if not in America’s history.  We must, as people vet each candidate running in the primaries and general election from both parties, and that includes Barack Hussein Obama, who was never vetted before the the 2008 Election and was promoted and favored by the mainstream media without that vetting. So with all the questions, it needs to be done this time around.

Newt knows how to talk like a conservative in election cycles. Like Obama, he knows how to cater to his constituency.

But when the chips are down, here is how he has behaved:

Quote:

In 1995 Newt Gingrich made a dispassionate appeal in the well of the US House of Representatives to increase the power of the Presidency by repealing the War Powers Act. After voting for $1.2 billion dollars in 1994 to fund increased NATO peace keeping missions, the very next year he urged President Clinton to expand the US military presence in Bosnia [SUPPORING MUSLIMS AGAINST CHRISTIANS--DON]! Newt has been pro abortion, pro amnesty for illegal aliens, in support of higher taxes at one time or another, and in favor of expanding the role of the Federal government! He is viewed as being anti‑family by many, not only because of his pro choice stance on abortion, but also for his support of gay marriage, and because he has twice divorced and been married three different times. Actions speak louder than words!

Quote:

Newt Gingrich has been a member of the ‘progressive’ Council on Foreign Relations since 1990. This NGO, founded in 1921, and bankrolled with BIG MONEY from the Rockefeller Foundation and J. P. Morgan among other internationalists, has been dedicated since its inception to dismantling American sovereignty, de‑constructing our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and promoting the idea of One World Government!

He campaigned for Nelson Rockefeller and advocated reading "The Third Wave", "Creating a New Civilization," and "Future Shock", written by his good friend (Newt wrote the forward) Alvin Toffler.

Newt is a democrat liberal Nationalist FOR a New World Order.

He is a member of the Bohemian Grove.

He granted "Most favored status" to Communist China with their slave labor goods that steal American jobs and the most murderous regime in history. This allowed our $800 Billion Chinese debt dependence on China of 2008-2009.

Check out: The Record of Newt Gingrich 

One more time, please don't loose sight of who Newt Gingrich really is and what he believes.  He keeps saying he has changed… but has he? You owe it to yourself and the country that we are trying to save to know who it is that you are voting for, please!
