Wisconsin Local 1848

The right wing propaganda site Politico was so eager to try to do a smear job on President Barack Obama and his visit to Milwaukee today that they failed to look before they leaped and ended up landing into a pile of foolishness with both feet:


Yup, the mistook the Wisconsin state flag as being the flag of Wisconsin Local 1848.

Once they realized how stupid they looked, they deleted the post (which appears to be a common thing for Republicans).

But thanks to the power of Google Cache, you can see it for yourself.

In honor of Politico*, one of my tweeps had created this, which I just may have to find room on the sidebar for:


Priceless.

*A suggestion for Politico is that they might want to correct their name to Politic-∅. Just sayin'.

      By this logic Mitt Romney is also not right wing. He helped "take out" Herman Cain too.

    Even though this story has a St. Louis angle, the author has the psychology of hate figured out.

    A mistake, yes, but a "smear"? Would being on the side of labor be such a bad thing?

    "Of course they did. Cain's black."

    This is a prime example of COD. All right wingers are rayycisst, right?

    The first woman they paraded out lived in the same building at the same time that David Axelrod did. And they were acquainted. She sure disappeared quick too. Politico is as right wing as Dick Morris is a Democrat.

      No, all right wingers are not racist. But pretty much every vocal racist in this country is a right winger.

      I thought it was a decent reply.

      Cain's dick is black and it's really the one that took him out though.

    Please distinguish between Politico.com - FAR FROM "a right wing propaganda site," and "Politico 44" site which is exactly what you have said.
