Think Progress Manufactures Another Fake Tea Party Racism Story
by Jim HoftTHINK PROGRESS IS BUSTED AGAIN!
The far left Soros-funded outfit does not just produce bogus films…They write bogus articles, too.
The horrible far left hacks at Think Progress once again were caught lying about supposed racism in the tea party movement. On Monday they posted some random editorial – from early July – published in a New Hampshire paper – by some lone racist and try to link him to the tea party…. But if you read the whole editorial you see that “tea party” is not even mentioned in the racist editorial! The tea party is not linked to this racist in anyway.
Think Progress just took an editorial written by some random racist and then they threw tea party on the title of their post. What horrible dishonest cranks.
Here is the entire editorial from the Concord Monitor:
We must preserve our racial identity
Ryan J. Murdough, Ashland
For the Monitor
July 4, 2010I am running as a candidate for state representative in Grafton County District 8. I am running as a Republican, but I have been endorsed by the American Third Position. I am also the American Third Position state chairman of New Hampshire. The American Third Position is a political party that stands for the interests of white Americans.
For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world’s population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.
What will happen to New Hampshire once it is only 60, 50 or 40 percent white? Statistics show that areas with high non-white populations have higher rates of violent crime. New Hampshire has one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the country, but that will change as the white population percentage declines and the non-white population percentage increases. I urge New Hampshire residents to go to the American Third Position website and read for yourself what it is all about.

As Think Progress reported, the New Hampshire racist was disowned as a candidate by the GOP who called him a “despicable racist” and a “fraud.” Murdough has no love lost for the GOP, complaining, “they’ve sold white people out.”
Think Progress also admits that they don’t even know if Murdough is a tea partier. But, he did mention “tea party” in the comment’s section of the July article and therefore, according to these radical hacks at Think Progress, that proves that the tea party is racist.
Got that? The tea party is racist because some white supremacist mentioned their name. Using this same logic, Obama is Al-Qaeda because he was mentioned in a Zawahiri tape. Hillary Clinton is part of the Taliban because they mentioned her in a tape.
This is insane and extremely dishonest. But, when you’ve got nothing and the unemployment rate is close to 10%, the record deficit is going over a trillion dollars, the country is broke and the president’s radical policies are unpopular across America, you make up lies to protect your radical associates.
What a disgusting dishonest website.

Deception exposed. This web site does it well.
False accusations is big business.
It's the Left. They lie. That's what they do.
"This is insane and extremely dishonest." No, this is business as usual for the lefist loons of the Democratic Party. Party on kids! The jig is up.
To them, the ends justify the means. And what that means is not only that they'll lie but when they talk about principles such as be objectivity, honesty, fairness, civility, and so on, they don't really apply those principles to themselves.
Most Americans are on to them now. We now know who tells the truth and who lies. Shore up friends and fight the lies with the truth. As long as we have the high ground, the enemy will have to engage from a disadvantage.
This is criminal.
progressivism = deceit
It's in their blood! It's genetic!
Olinsky tactics of lies is exposed again.
Man do u got that right! That should be a bumper sticker
I would like to thank the Democratic Party and the NAACP, for using the word 'racists' so much as to make it irrelevant…the word is thrown around so much that, it is nothing more than a defense mechanism….for the racist!
They are the devil. They must be defeated. We must expose them. Stand up and do something….VOTE!
I am so grateful that many folks have become aware of the deception that is being played on a daily basis….Alinsky has no power if the public understands the tactics. With that said….we are still in deep doo doo….
Think What?
Think Progress? Who reads that stuff? What do they have for readers? College professors in their underwear?
Typical! …liberals doing what liberals do…lie, cheat, and steal!
The 3D administration and the 3D media. What a combination! DISHONEST, DECEITFUL, DELUSIONAL! Maybe a class action suit by MAINSTREAM AMERICANS against soros funded garbage outlets will help to break the soros bank! TRUTH AND ACCOUNTABILITY!
Standard operating procedure
You know a lot of people mistake free speech for racism…NAACP does…and so did this writer.
This man has an opinion…I have no idea if he has ever treated a person in a racist way like say the recent ag commissioner for GA. She treated people in a racist way…this guy just seems to have expressed his opinion and is running on his principles, kinda like a National association for the advancement of white people….hummmmmm
By the way the NAACP is for the advancement of just who? Isn't that racism too? Please don't be fooled be sure to seperate free speech and racism people depend on you not knowing the difference!
Keep crying "RAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!", race hustlers, like the boy who cried wolf, you are blowing your "credibility" and soon no one will pay attention to you.
Every false charge of "RAAAAAAAAACISM!" brings the race hustling industry one step closer to annihilation. Also, for our "friends" on the left, you might want to look at the polls and see just how many Americans align themselves with the TEA parties. Calling people RAAAAAAAAACIST! when they KNOW they are not is a grave insult and isn't exactly going to win you friends or influence people.
Kind of like islam.
NAACP; a "RACIST" Organization calling ME Racists. Go figure……….
Well what do you expect from a bunch of desperate criminals about to lose power? They will continue to pick, and poke at us trying to get something on us. Now we're racist, next month we'll all be criminals…. I can hardly wait!
Don't worry folks, Nov. is coming….keep those cameras rolling and your smiles on your faces so when they take pictures we won't look evil like they do.
they're scum-sucking pigs, but what do you expect from a piece of crap like that marxist George Soros? No surprise!
Amen!!!!
This is linchpin of the Democrats fall strategy. First was try to ram through as much progressive garbage legislation as they could to appease the far left reaches of their party, at the cost of alienating their base. Now, as we roll into cruch time, it is time to fully energize the leftist propagana machine. The left will attempt to paint the right as the party of no, and bellow about divisiveness and hurting the American people. The whole while behind the scenes, they will be fabricating baseless accusations to alienate voters. Accustations that are no more easily proved than they are disproved, but will have the damage intended. The younger, further left elements of the Democratic party are the messengers, the dissemination mechanism. This is where Conservative messaging needs to counter the effort.
Think Progress + Sorros + Podesta = Obama ….
Boy, that was hard to figure out … Good thing I have a high school diploma
Don't Think/ Regress is one of the most vile organizations out there.
Again, it's all they've got. They lose on the issues. They lose on character. They lose on history of their ideology.
They have NOTHING else. Their hope is to keep saying it so often that people will believe it's true. Problem is the BIGs won't let them get away with it. They're on empty, their engine is sputtering. Soon they'll be on the shoulder of the highway with the hazards on hoping someone will call a tow truck.
I just went to their website and skimmed over the comments section. Those people are insane. Not a single civil post, just a bunch of whiny name-callers that are too afraid to re-examine their belief system.
They also buy every single lie published by that discredited site. Scary that there are people like that out there.
I propose that the whole lot of us register at that website and start posting the truth. let's see how long before they start banning our posts. Who's in??
A majority of Americans are literate and can see right through them, the liberals are digging their own graves, if they lose in November they will claim it is the fault of George Bush as always.
Who needs the "Big Brother" syndrome when we have the likes of BozObama, ACORN, NAACP(NAAN) & journalism like the one mentioned above. Little people & little sparks start big conflagrations (that's fire for those of you in Rio Linda)
Call me what you will, but I actually agreed with this guy up until the last sentence of paragraph two. From that point on, though, he got a little bonkers.
What we need to be doing is voting in the people who care about America; not these fools.
Bottom line, we need to vote in November as if our very lives depend on it, 'cause belive it or not….THEY DO!
Liberals manufacture "truth" to fit the narrative. They used to be rather good at it since there were few ways to challenge the made up claims, some of which were quite believable back in the day. In the information age, they can't cope with the multiple methods and ease that their "truth" can be challenged and have resorted to grasping at straws hoping to grab a hold of one that will support their narrative. With each attempt of manufacturing "truth" and it being shown for nothing more than lies, more and more of the American public are waking up to what the Left really is all about.
This isn't going to end anytime soon. The Left will continue to deceive and as their lies are continually exposed, they will just create even wilder versions of their so-called "truth" than they have been creating. The Right has to continue to expose the Left at every step or risk having the Left's manufactured truth become the accepted truth, no matter how wild and unbelievable the Left's fantasy truth is.
Has anyone yet noticed how all the Tea Party infiltrator racist have this uncanny resemblance of criminal thugs. I mean, come on, has any one of these people appeared to be guileless, without the heavy scrowl and the hard, shifty eyes?
Consider also the incredible mind numbing racist comments these people make, yet, we find they are paid hacks hired by the Soros leftist media smear machine such as the one mentioned in the above article. For certain, any connection to George Soros is a definite sign that these purveyors of racism are nothing less but a muck of criminal thug losers. Absolutely none of these so-called journalist have a ounce of credibility and, we get it. The Left and especially the far-left media cockroaches are the racist losers.
Well, judging from the emails I'm getting from formerly liberal/Democrats on my contact list, people in this country are starting to wake up.
Ugh. It's bad enough that i live in NH and have to live with the fact that this white supremacist moron actually shares the same state as me (*shudder*). But having to deal with the overblown desperation of the leftist windbags at Think Progress trying to make it sound like this lowlife is somehow a symbol of Tea Party racism is just… I can't… there are no words. "Incandescent with rage" would work, but I'm not really feeling rage so much as painful, painful disgust that there are people who actually believe that Think Progress is a viable news source. It would make me sick if it didn't make me so ANGRY.
Also, the only reason the "Concord Monitor" would print such a vile editorial is because they're so leftist it'd make your head spin.
The Left has to lie, cheat and smear their opponents to get their way. It's all they know and it's the ONLY way they can win.
The Loony Left has hit upon a strategy that works like a charm. Come up with a new charge of racism every day. It doesn't matter if there is any truth in the charge or not. After time it will take a toll on the Tea Party base and it will divert the TP to a defensive posture instead of primary message of smaller govt, lower tax, etc. As much as I dislike the Lonny's and their agenda, I must credit them with a stroke of genius in this matter. Ever been attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes? Saul Alinsky is proud.
Exactly right. They lose on every level so they have to cling to this fantasy that the tea party is racist. The thing is, they can't win this way either. People are already onto their act.
Stick a fork in them…..
It is all they have….deceit and deception. Perhaps America will awake in time…..perhaps not. Wonder what it will be.
start banning? don't their filters automatically block out facts?
Thinkprogress? The national inquirer of political blogs? Is that online rag still hanging on?
Good point. I did see that several comments were removed and the responses to those comments were along the lines of "You're a pathetic loser".
So I'm guessing the comments didn't tow the party line……
This should not surprise anyone. The left will do ANYTHING to discredit the Tea Party movement, this is just more proof of their dishonesty and evil minds because they don't agree with the Tea Party. We all need to keep on track and make sure the government doesn't get so big that all of us will lose our freedom. The left believes in freedom of speech only when you agree with their thinking and if you don't they will knock you down and stomp on you like common trash. I'm glad this was found out because more of us are waking up and seeing what they are doing. Please don't stoop to the left's ways of thinking, we all have more class and dignity than they ever will. Stand up for what you believe in and do with restraint and intelligence. God Bless America.
You're borderline retarded. The NAACP was started by mostly white people and doesn't confine itself to helping Black people.
The NAACP was created for a reason. There was no NEED to create a NAAWP because that's who was holding(and in most cases still do) all the power. Seems to me that the core of your problem is your lack of knowledge about black history.
It's all they've got? What issues are they losing on that you are referring to?
Uhh, the economy, unemployment, healthcare, foreign policy. The resignation of Ms. Sherrod proves they lose on racism as well, not that the MSM would report that…
74% of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is going according to the latest polls (not that I put much stock in polls, just worth mentioning is all….)
Is that enough for you?
This article is silly. First of all everyone has seen the signs so it's not like the accusations of racism are arbitrary. Secondly, the piece is not claiming he is a Tea Partier in any way. It's pointing out the fact that the Tea Party is being endorsed by racists who themselves identify the racist element to it. David Duke is also a supporter. These type of endorsements don't bode well against the accusations of racism.
Say you knew someone who felt strongly about abortion. If they support a certain candidate, you would automatically assume that candidate supported abortion. You are the company you keep. You are your leader. And when you have leaders advocating bringing back literacy tests, expressing disagreement with a private entities being banned from being racist, and yet another leader who's righting ridiculous letters to Abraham Lincoln pretending to be a "colored", it's hard for a lot of people to understand how anyone can sit there with a straight face and say the movement ISN'T racist.
Oh I'm sorry. Have the Republicans in Washington NOT been filibustering everything? They even filibustered the tax breaks for small business when it was a part of the bigger unemployment package. Most people are EMPLOYED by small business. Before Obama came into office there were around 700,000 jobs being shed a month. I defy you to find a source ANYWHERE that says those numbers haven't improved. I don't believe we're out of the recession(although Wall Street is), but it's not the free fall it was. Plus I was never under the impression that Obama was going to be a Magic Negro and fix everything in 2 weeks, when the core problems started even before the Bush presidency. Economists were saying in 2008 that it would take around 10 years to reach a full recovery.
I think the healthcare bill WAS weak. A total loss it was not.There are millions of your fellow Americans who won't be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. I think that's a matter of opinion. YOU don't think it does anything but 32 million Americans are still grateful for it(I've heard horror stories for years about people being denied coverage or necessary operations for pre existing conditions such as yeast infections).
How does Ms Sherrod prove they lose on racism? What does she have to do with the Obama administration who preemptively asked her to resign while it's now coming out that Breitbart AGAIN misled because the video in question is from 1986 and taken completely out of context. She currently trying to get the video in its entirety released.
I used to hit HufnPuf and NYT, especially Krugman, but eventually it got to where only the most milquetoast comments would be accepted. The Obamacare fights were classic. It got to where I would quote literally word for word from the Bill with page/para references, without commentary, to dispute their arguments and they would block/scrub my comments. After the Bill passed they loosened up a bit, but they already showed they have no interest in discussion, only consent.
BTW awesome avatar. that episode rocked.
"Have the Republicans in Washington NOT been filibustering everything"
Seriously?? The "Everything would be fixed except for the republicans!!" defense is weak and hollow.
The unemployment rate is still hovering around 10%. I thought the stimulus was supposed to fix that by now? It's been over 18 months now and you're still blaming everything on everyone else?
The healthcare bill is a monster that will do more damage than good. Those 32 million (magically down from 47 million) that you say deserve healthcare, but what about the people left with the bill? Where is this money coming from? And your yeast infection story , where is the proof of this? What about making healthcare mandatory and then taxing it? Why did the dems lie about it when it was first introduced and then came clean after it passed?
How does Ms. Sherrod prove they lose on racism?? Are you kidding me? She willfully used her position to deny a farmer help based on his race. And if that video came out in 1986, why did it take 24 years for her to resign?? because it got exposure now. That's why the democrats lose on racism. Falsley accusing tea party people of racism is ok in your book, but when a Dem is actually caught it has nothing to do with anything? C'mon, that's lame.
All this adds up to a losing argument, the only thing left is the racism fantasy.
My biggest problem is that no one wants to question Obama on anything. Someone responded to my post above and this person is a full on Obamabot. It's a shame, she's seems pretty sharp but is just so in the "It's everyone else's fault things are worse now" mentality that it's tough to break through.
It's my favorite episode,
Hank Scorpio: "Which one should I blow up? Italy or France?
Homer: "Uh, France"
Hank Scorpio: "HAHA!! No one ever picks Italy!!"
Look, I want everybody to be able to have the same healthcare the vast majority of Americans have. But screwing everything up for 270 million so 30 million like it is just stupid.
Don't you have a problem with your party lying to America regarding this tax? Why don't you take them to task for it? Why are you here spouting liberal talking points? You seem like a pretty sharp person, you'd be doing more good if you did something about the nonsense going on in your own backyard.
SophiaLaReina……….Your argument on health care is "Bullshit" pure and simple………………….I've spent the better part of the last year in and out of hospitals and doctors offices and everyone from the candy striper's at the hospital to the Cardiologists I was seeing all think Obamacare is a "Joke". It was a consensus (don't democrats love consensus?). The bill sucks!
I was in the hospital while the Constitution was being pissed on by Democrats and Obamacare was forced down our throats, so I was watching this piece of evil unfold from my Hospital bed………..every single person who came into the room and saw "The Big F**king Deal" going down either shook there head in disgust or made a comment about what a disaster it would be………………
Long story short…………………All the smart people think it sucks………….but Democrats think otherwise
and as for the rest of your argument………Come to Illinois and see what Barry and the other dipsh*t Democrats have done to the state. It is a textbook example of how "not to govern" and Babar is doing it on a national scale now…………..
"Think Progress" – the ultimate oxymoron.
Every time you see the word "progressive," replace it with "stupid" and things make more sense.
Umm… there was an extensive comment thread here this morning…
Yes it was.
This article is silly. First of all everyone has seen the signs so it's not like the accusations of racism are arbitrary. Secondly, the piece is not claiming he is a Tea Partier in any way. It's pointing out the fact that the Tea Party is being endorsed by racists who themselves identify the racist element to it. David Duke is also a supporter. These type of endorsements don't bode well against the accusations of racism.
I see no trolls here trying to argue about facts now, hmm?
What idiocy. There aren't "signs" and the TP is NOT racist. And, we know that think progress desperately wants to make people think all conservatives are racist. Badly enough, that think progress will lie, will make up ANYTHING they think they can get away with. Desperation from dishonest people = never stop being vigilant.
Sophia, as a Tea Party Sympathiser I promise you this; "If I find a racist at a Tea Party Rally I will confront his dumb-ass!" That's a promise, believe it!
I've seen the signs and they are being held by democrats for la rouche. Tell me, who is the racist at the teaparty??
What are you talking about? I wasn't referring to clues in my post. I was referring to ACTUAL physical signs. Do you know what youtube is?
But if you want to go there lets go there. They had a leader advocating bringing back literacy tests, one that wrote a fictional letter to Abraham Lincoln on the behalf of "coloreds" and another one that expressed dissatisfaction with the part of the Civil Rights bill that banned private businesses and institutions from excluding Black people. And you guys REALLY don't know why people insist the movement is racist?
Don't be ridiculous. I've been black for 25 years now. I know racism when I hear, see and feel it. Because it's far from dead. I have experience, the Internet and a White husband who tells me what White people say about Blacks when Blacks aren't around. Do I believe ALL members of the Tea Party are racist? No. But I believe the leaders(including Breitbart) are regressives.
And I still fail to see the lie that Think Progress is being accused of telling. WHAT is the LIE? If you read the actual article they don't say he's a member. What it looks like is the author is criticizing the article for is mentioning a racist Tea Party supporter that isn't on the Tea Party roster. He's missing the POINT of the article entirely. Why are overtly racist people supporting and sympathizing with the Tea Party? That DOES say something. Like I say, if you know someone who feels strongly about abortion and is pro life, if they endorse a certain Senate candidate, you can't tell me you wouldn't assume that that candidate is probably pro life.
What facts? What lies? I'm completely confused about what the article is even criticizing Think Progress about and I'm pretty good about being able to follow different lines of logic and various perspectives.
Every time I try to post the truth, they bury the comment. But if you will look under NH you will see this posted…please go and vote it UP so it will show.
Murdough is neither a member of the NH GOP nor the NH tea party.
I can tell you for a fact we have never seen him at a tea party nor has he ‘advised’ us to do anything. He can’t know what we are about because he has never been to a tea party meeting. The NH tea party has never ’spewed’ racism.
If he tries to contact us, I will let you know what he says but I doubt very much he would because he knows his view would be shunned.
He has a three way primary and since no one is going to help him with his candidacy, he can’t win. I would be surprised if he got 20 votes.
If you are so worried about racism, why do you even give people like this fringer the time of day?
http://www.nhteapartycoalition.org/tea/2010/07/15...
PS – Jim, this is proof they are not interested in the truth or what the tea party in NH actually SAID.
And you have the KKK, Black Panthers and NAACP so you are way up on the racism scale…. the KKK were Dems don't forget, and the rest are socialists too.
This is also not the first time they have tried to create the impression that the tea party is racist… they put out a bogus press release and were also caught planning to infiltrate, also mentioned on national talk radio by Mark Steyn and RL.
