The FoxNews.com article further reported that "[t]he video clip was first posted by BigGovernment.com" and that "FoxNews.com is seeking a response from both the NAACP and the USDA." The article is no longer available on FoxNews.com but was republished on another website:”<br /><br />http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220004<br /><br />If you’re correct, then provide the evidence. When did the NAACP release their statement and when did Fox start covering this story?<br /><br /><b>Chris said: This will be the last time that I talk about this story because Glenn Beck is right. It's a smoke screen for the government's power grab.</b><br /><br />It’s interesting that now that the focus of this story has inconveniently shifted back on the people who first broke it you don’t want to talk about it anymore. You were complaining earlier about how this story would not get picked up by the established media. Then once it was and the full context of this woman’s remarks had come out the facts suddenly didn’t matter any more. <br /><br />Glenn Beck is not right. Glenn Beck lives in a world of his own paranoid fantasies. To claim that this is some conspiracy by the Obama Administration (who looked like weak fools during this episode) to distract from their evil plan is insane. No evidence, no facts – just wild speculation. This entire affair should have been a teaching moment for everyone. It’s important to know all the facts before we rush to judgment. Instead you completely miss the point and decide to side with Glenn Beck’s tired old story.Silkehttp://hooahwife.com/noreply@blogger.com
