Keeping Us Infromed

fox infromed_34e07_0I can understand a bit of exaggeration, but thirtyfold?

Conservative activists, who organized a march on the U.S. Capitol today in protest of the Obama administration’s health care agenda and government spending, erroneously attributed reports on the size of the crowds to ABC News.

Nobody could have predicted …

Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, the group that organized the event, said on stage at the rally Saturday that ABC News was reporting that 1 million to 1.5 million people were in attendance.

At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large. ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 to 70,000 protesters, attributed to the Washington, D.C., fire department. In its reports, ABC News Radio described the crowd as “tens of thousands.”

Of course they didn’t, because they’re the ‘liberal media’.

As a result of Kibbe’s erroneous attribution, several bloggers and commenters repeated the misinformation.

In his blog, Kibbe apologized Sunday for the mistaken attribution of the crowd-size estimated to ABC News.

But today on his blog, Kibbe keeps lying:

The crowd was HUGE.  Any reporter that claims thousands, or even tens of thousands of attendees was either not there or was willfully misreporting the significance of the event.

What a little shitbag.

Hell, why stop at 1.5 million. God himself told me in a vision that 2.5 billion people attended!

My Pleiadian space brothers I encountered in the wilderness said we are the only species in the universe that pays taxes. They weep for our backwardness.

In psychiatry this is called a self-reinforcing delusion.

In life it’s called conservative politics.

TJ/ Some better news. Judge Rakoff shit down the throats of both the BoA and SEC. It appears that a mere $33 mil settlement regarding the Merill Lynch Clusterfuck is being tossed and BoA is going to trial.

Further TJ/ On Day One of the great experiment amongst the unemployed*, I didn’t check in here until 3:30. Damn they’re going to miss my productivity back at the mill.

*if it were anything other than temporary until the next gig starts, I wouldn’t be crowing, and I am thankful to the FSM that I have bucked the unemployment trend in our fair nation.

@ManchuCandidate: Ha-ha!

Speaking of BoA, one woman’s stance against them arbitrarily jacking up her credit card interest rate to 30%.

@ManchuCandidate:

I wouldn’t get too excited about the possibility of B of A getting their comeuppance.

The Wall Streeters almost wet themselves laughing at Obama’s speech today, in which he asked them nicely not to be such greedy, rapacious financiopaths. Then they called up their puppets in Congress and ordered them to cancel Medicare, Social Security and the VA hospital system and pay them $50 bajillion dollar bonuses. Congress approved the legislation within hours, plenty of time to get home for Leno. The End.

@Original Andrew:
I know they laughed when the semi-Unicorn told them to “Stop it”

The problem is that they tried that with W when they wanted Social Securities monies. Didn’t work out so well for them.

BoA might not get it, but the fact that their little sweet heart deal got squashed is a tiny victory (victories have been few and far between.) Who knows, it MIGHT lead to bigger and better things.

@SanFranLefty: Mr Cyn caught BofA charging him two $35 overdraft fees when he had the money to cover the drafts in his account. He called, and they said “oops” and removed the charges. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re charging customers with low balances overdraft fees arbitrarily, figuring most of them will figure they might have cut it too close to the line and accidentally overdrew the account. Fucking bastards.

@The Nabisco Quiver are Go!: I live in fear of an ROF at my job. Its mighty quiet lately.

Kibbe is just counting all those in their basements who were virtually there.

@Promnight: We already lost someone to attrition earlier this year, and it’s not a large office to begin with, but I’ve got seniority and, quite frankly, competence, that some of my coworkers are lacking. The trick is ever leaving this job.

I am amazed at the number of Inbredheads, Tea Goobers, and Trailer Popes
in attendance. The fact that they found the same city at the same time is amazing. 1.5 million is a stinky figure since it was actually pulled out of some goobers ass. Isn’t it amazing how shit flow out of Repubards mouths like a stream of diarrhea. They are so ignorant they just don’t care anymore. Not the MSM is going to call them on it. LIE, LIE,LIE. Go for it tards.
