Busted! National Review Crops and “Dirties” Photo From Austin Walmart, Claims It Shows “Venezuela”

[House of Roberts]

So Michelle Malkin in National Review did a piece on Bernie Sanders a few days ago, still whining about the underarm deodorant issue…

1. Oh, no! Not Michelle Malkin! She had such a pristine reputation prior to this.

2. Malkin is a bitter little wingnut

who has never been particularly known for telling the truth about anything or anyone.

Unfortunately, her fans are stupid and she knows it. They'll let this slide because "hey, it could be in Venezuela!"

Yeah, they're that stupid.

6. That reminds me of that clip of people celebrating something in a 2-block area in the Middle East

that purportedly showed Middle Easterners "celebrating" the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9-11, when in actuality it was a file video of people celebrating a local festival.

3. Unbelievably Stupid to Use a Picture of the US

especially since the underlying point on the Venezuelan economy is perfectly valid, and it shouldn't be too difficult to demonstrate. Just because illustrative photos are hard to find doesn't mean you use a fake one.

5. See post 2.

4. I saw this one posted all over Twitter.

Good lesson on being extremely skeptical of any representation of Venezuela you see in the media. Lots of anti-government propaganda out there and unfortunately it's been very effective in terms of influencing public opinion in the US.

7. It's a 'Little Green Footballs' link, in case anyone cares.

So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

8. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

9. If I'm not mistaken, LGF is now a more-or-less liberal site

but it used to be a right-wing site.

I've never followed it before or after the change, so I don't know for sure.

10. Yes, the site owner has renounced his rightwing leanings and...

Now spends most of the time exposing the dangerous craziness of the rightwing.

12. Once upon a time,

those of us on the left referred to the site as 'Little Freep Greenballs'.

11. Why didn't she use these instead?
