Republicans are Lying Weirdos: Twitter smear merchant Black Insurrectionist is infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander? Seems to be a white dude named Jason G. Palmer

Republicans love Lies and Hate America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Black Insurrectionist,” the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York. He’s also white.

The reach that the Black Insurrectionist account attained with assistance from Trump and his allies demonstrates the ease with which unverified information from dubious sources can metastasize online to shape public opinion. The speed and scale of disinformation has been an animating force in the presidential campaign, with the potential to affect the outcome in a close election.

The Black Insurrectionist account is linked directly to Jason G. Palmer, who has his own questionable backstory, starting with the fact that he isn’t Black, according to an Associated Press review of public records, open source data and interviews with a half-dozen people who interacted closely with Palmer over the past two decades.

Still Fighting the Bad Fight for The Fash
The slimy rightwing liar "Black Insurrectionist" (@DocNetyoutube) is apparently no longer on Twitter, much to the consternation and disappointment to the MAGA Fash who've taken over Twitter to spread non-stop lies.  Black Insurrectionist was one of the daily stops MAGA went to, to get their daily dose of lies, activate their R-complex, invoke their Fear&Anger response, and spend the day in a constant state of agitation.  

I wrote about the utterly evil and ugliest Republican October Surprise being the unconscionable but, predictable false smears of Tim Walz.  Much of the lies and smears of Harris and Walz were spearheaded by Black Insurrectionist on X(Twitter) himself.  While probably not a Russian himself, this writer, Matt Osborne, contends it was infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander, everything it spread has ties to a quick campaign crafted by known Russian disinformation trolls.  As for Ali himself, along with Charlie Kirk, he is remembered chiefly for sending buses full of MAGA criminals to Washington DC and coordinating with other rightwing criminals to try and halt the transfer of power and overthrow the  United States Government.

When Tim Walz correctly labelled Republicans as "weird" it really, really struck a nerve.  For years, Republicans have been living in a bubble of self-delusion and demanded their creepy weirdo ideas were actually mainstream and not wildly out of step with American society, deeply offensive, highly unusual, and off-putting.  Weird.

Senile traitor Trump was particularly perturbed by being called weird.  And used his senile weave technique to declare, 'No Weird! No Weird! You're the Weird!'

So, multiple MAGA propagandists used the #QAnon lies and child grooming/pedophile campaign against Tim Walz.  In early October, former Florida Cop and now Russian disinformation specialist John Mark Dougan, began the hit job against Tim Walz; 

The initial claim emerged on Oct. 5 during a Rumble livestream, where an anonymous man said Walz abused him when he was a Future Leaders Exchange, or FLEX, Program student in Minnesota from 2004 to 2005. The man, whose voice appears altered, was interviewed by John Mark Dougan, a former Florida sheriff’s deputy living in Russia with alleged ties to disinformation campaigns.

Both the U.S. State Department and FLEX told CBS News they have no record “of any FLEX student from Kazakhstan in Mankato area schools from 2000 through 2020.” Mel Helling, the communications director for Mankato Area Public Schools, told CBS News they have no record of the allegations. NewsGuard first reported the claim. 
When contacted by CBS News, Dougan claimed he has the alleged victim’s U.S. visa and the FLEX Program certificate. CBS News reviewed the documents and found several inconsistencies: The date of birth on the visa does not match the age the alleged victim stated in the livestream and the certificate has an incorrect logo on it. 
The claims were picked up by other accounts that are not linked to Russian disinformation. On Oct. 12, an X account credited as Matt Wallace posted a Rumble video where he claimed without evidence that Walz may have acted inappropriately with the students during trips to China. The video was later removed and the user did not respond to a request for comment.  
A third claim surfaced on Oct. 13 when an X account dubbed “Black Insurrectionist” posted grainy screenshots of supposed emails alleging Walz’s misconduct with a minor at a concert in 1995.  
The supposed emails appeared manipulated. Among the clues was a comma in the date-time stamp that is not typically found in emails. “Black Insurrectionist” later deleted their account. Researchers have not linked this account to Russian disinformation.  
On Oct. 16, another claim circulated when a man purporting to be Matthew Metro, a former Mankato West High School student, posted a video alleging Walz sexually assaulted him in 1997. 
However, The Washington Post and AFP reported that a man named Matthew Metro did attend the school but the person in the video is not him. The Post interviewed Metro, who said he never met Walz. 
Hany Farid, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in manipulated media, said he believes the video was not created using AI; rather, he believes it is a “cheap fake,” in which a man is impersonating someone else. 

Truth is Irrelevant;
Joey Mannarino pretended to be a black woman

Earlier this year, Dougan fronted the Russian created smear about a Kamala Harris hit-and-run, and has routinely spread anti-Ukraine Russian propaganda which is picked up and uncritically regurgitated by conservatives in the States.

Conservatives have for decades been openly broadcasting their abject hatred of America and the ways in which anyone paying attention could influence and control them and one of the intelligence victories by the FSB, GRU, and Russian Government has been to collect this open-source intel and repeat Republicans hatred for America back to them.

One of the most depressing things about this whole smear is how ready, how eager, and how easily Republicans will swallow such propaganda.  Truth is Irrelevant.  Because what MAGA wants to be true is true. 
MAGA loves lies
And being lied to

I pointed out how eager MAGA is to be lied to by Trump, look at how they loved being lied to about he "took a shift serving fries" at a McDonald's.  MAGA yearns to be lied to about everything.  Lies and conspiracies confirm what they've always believed, what they've been told by 50 years of Elon Musk, of Faux News, of Racist Limbaugh, of every Republican.

And so what all those years of brainwashing have lead to is the complete capture of the Republican Party and all their minds by a creepy, weird, racist, rapist grifter with the slimy charisma of a cheap Mobster from Manhattan.

Get Ready for the Ugliest October Surprise in American History as Republicans smear Tim Walz

You may have thought multiple bigoted white male Republicans calling Vice President Kamala Harris a
DEI candidate was the lowest point of the campaign.  Or making constant oral sex jokes was too tawdry and unbefitting the Republican Party. 

You may have thought claiming multiple times including during both television debates that Haitian migrants, here legally, were eating peoples' cats and dogs was the lowest most disreputable racist attack since the infamous Willie Horton ad.

You may have thought smearing Tim Walz with the claim of Stolen Valor, from the cowardly Republican Party comprised of Vietnam Era Chickenhawks and Global War on Terror Rear-Echelon Mother Fucker Warmongers was just about as dishonorable as anyone could get.

You may have thought desecrating Arlington National Cemetery and belittling Medal of Honor recipients was just about the most disgraceful act anyone wanting to be President could do.

Or you may have believed all those years Republicans pushed lies about the Hunter Biden Laptop, and the Biden crime Family lies, or claimed Russian agent Tara Reade was telling the truth about President Biden assaulting her were just politics. 

You may have believed Republicans couldn't get any uglier or more heinous in their pursuit of Power.  Well, you'd have been wrong.

All those years of #QAnon claims.  All those years of attacking Teachers.  All those years of claiming anyone who fights for or defends LGBTQ persons are secret pedophiles.  All those years of attacks have culminated in the ultimate Kill Shot.  Via Elon Muck's Swasitka ✠ Twitter, Republicans have released a claim that Tim Walz molested 3 young boys while he was a teacher.  The account leading this charge is the infamous troll "Black Insurrectionist", famous for lying about an ABC whistleblower.

You can look up the account and read his despicable lies if you'd like.  I won't link it.  Fortunately, there appear to be a major Twitter accounts FordNews and Agent Self FBI which have debunked and demonstrated the so-called Black Insurrectionist is lying and fabricating.  Additional, debunking has been done by Will Sommer, and on Reddit (of all places), and the young student Todd Almond, who the Walz's took to the Indigo Girls concert in 1995 who far from being a "victim" has written about his friendship with Tim and Gwen.  There's a lot speculation this was written by "Black Insurrectionist" himself and that he may be infamous Trump Troll Jacob Wohl but...

But, it doesn't matter how often the truth is demonstrated or how many times Republican lies are disproven.  Republicans have adopted pure subjectivity.  The goal isn't to have this end the Harris /Walz campaign it's another vile lie Republicans will use in their multi-pronged assault on the election.  Every avenue of attack is designed to peel a few voters away here and shave a few votes off there until its' close enough for this state or that Republican Governor to steal or get the whole thing into a morass requiring the Supremacist Court (or Republican controlled State Legislatures) to declare Trump the winner.

In Republicans eyes, everything is lined up perfectly.  Republicans know if they can steal this Election, they can Steal America.  Project 2025 will just be the start of the dismantling of the Untied States of America and its' replacement with a Fascist Fundamentalist Ethonstate built upon the twin pillars of White Power and perpetual corporate bondage.

Of course, Republicans would love if the Mainstream Media picked this up they way they always do with a Republican Propaganda Campaign.  But, even if the Media doesn't run with these vile allegations, the goal is to undermine the very concept of truth and lies.  And to ease the Nation into the grasp of Billionaires and Republicans Fascists, who once ensconced will never cede power and will usher in the Totalitarian Dream Republicans have sought for decades.

Mankind has been in this position before;  Hannah Ardent warned about the conclusion from what the last 50 years of Republican Agitprop and campaign to destroy truth, facts, honesty, expertise were designed to accomplish;

What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please."

The Corporate Media hates Joy and hates that Kamala Harris will be the next President and is desperate to help their Dearly Beloved Leader Trump

The Media Storm cried out NO JOY and Kamala Harris responded, "I AM THE JOY!"

 "People don't want to feel joy," Conservative News Network Scott Jennings declared Sunday. 

The Corporate Media is currently in a race to see who can more obsequiously prostrate themselves at the feet of Dear Leader Trump .  Thus, far The New York Fucking Times and Politifact are in a dead heat to see who can tamp down the Harris/Walz enthusiasm, cover up on-going Republicans lies, and help bring Trump back into a race;  they recognize that in a month Harris has completely flipped the field moving 6 points in the polls from Biden minus 2 to being up 4 points over ugly weirdo Trump.

The Republican and Corporate Media coordinated campaign appears clear.

The RFK Jr bump never materialized and never will and the phony Jill Stein led ABANDON BIDEN ABANDON HARRIS!!! ceasefire now dirtbags is no threat of taking any votes away from Harris/Walz in 2024, as the people who adhere to Jill Stein voted for her (or Trump in 2016) and voted for Trump in 2020 and are going to vote for Trump again in 2024.

Republicans have focused their efforts on Tim Walz, they know all they have to say about President Kamala Harris is she's dumb, she's not really black, she slept her way to the top, and she's DEI.  This is the totality of the Republican attack on her and guaranteed to keep their white male base in the fold.  Republicans know the Corporate Media will take on the dirty work of slandering Kamala Harris at a middle brow level (see above tweet from Snarky Stardust) by claiming she doesn't have any proper policies and her campaign is all fluff!  NO JOY!!!

But, with Tim Walz, ahhhh, this is where Republicans know they have to concentrate fire and really besmirch, slander, and smear him (and attack his son Gus Walz) because Tim Walz represents everything Republicans claim to revere and hold up as their ideals.  In reality, Republicans long ago jettisoned their so-called principles and have long been a fascist adjacent organization.  That's why Republicans are so desperate to damage him, Tim Walz shows how hollow and phony and weird Republicans are; therefore they've adopted a campaign to claim he's dishonest and to besmirch his military service, his political achievements, his family story, and hid creditinals in order to make people believe Walz isn't who he says he is so vote for Traitor Trump and Just Dishonorable Vance!

The Corporate Media is more than willing to play along producing such hit pieces as Walz claims to be a "Coach" but in reality he was a "Defensive Coordinator" GOTCHA LIB!

Or Walz claims the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce awarded him but in reality it was the Junior Chamber of Commerce GOTCHA LIB!

What the Corporate Media has made clear is they are supporters of Trump and in the business of reaching a MAGA readership, and re-establishing the Trump White House Circus.

Trump makes insane unintelligible proclamations about sharks and batteries, falsely takes credit for Joe Biden's or Barack Obama's achievements, about replacing Obamacare and this is treated as though it is a rational coherent policy position. The Courtier Press have for years accepted Trump's and Republicans hollow promises as though they were the equivalent as actual political achievements.  Thus, Trump year after year talk about this plan or that bill which is a mere two weeks away and receive laudatory press coverage and when that time passes he can simply repeat his claim his policy is two weeks away.

Yet, for future President Harris the Corporate Media and DC Pundits demand a detailed policy analysis and when they get anything from the Harris/Walz campaign proceed to attack it.  We saw this in 2016 when HRC released actual policy positions and initiatives she was pilloried by the Political Press and attacked by the left and right. Releasing actual policy positions is what the Political Press demands but, it's not want they want;  what the Corporate Media wants and needs is to undercut Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in order that Trump and his Republican co-conspirators have a shot at stealing the Election.

Trump doesn't have a functioning campaign staff or workers, so the Political Press have taken it upon themselves yet again to act as his personal stenographers and spokesmen.  Elon Muck recognized this as well.  The Corporate Media and the Plutocrats are reeking of desperation to get Trump back into Office and are doing everything they can to help his fading chances.

Paul Ryan, Joe Walsh and the Republicans love the Military but Hate the Troops

"As you know, you go to war with the Army you have. They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time." - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Dec 8, 2004.
To be more clear the Republican Party loves the Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC). Republicans do not see individual soliders, they don't exist in the Right-Wing mind. What the Republican Party believes in is the "Military".

As such, when the shameless, gutless Congressman Paul Ryan said, “We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the right budget.”

Note the use of We. Ryan is not speaking just for himself, he's speaking for the Party. The Party which views the individual solider as a prop, as an asset, as a piece on a strategic map of resources.

Paul Ryan felt he had a free hand to call "the Generals" liars because he is the perfumed dandy attack poodle of the Plutocracy. Ryan's status as the Architect of the Path to the Penury will never cost him the support of the 1%, what he is defending is the Massive Transfer of Wealth from the American People (and the Iraqis or the enemy du jour) to the MIC.

Congressman Joe Walsh is running against Tammy Duckworth. Walsh is a pure opportunist. He's a man, "the guy who sleeps in his office", without a useful trait or accomplishment to his name, but, Walsh felt safe belittling and slandering Tammy Duckworth. When asked about Duckworth, he off-handedly dismissed her incredibly grievous injures as "Ehhh... Let's move on..."

This wasn't the first time Tea Party Republican Joe Walsh felt comfortable bashing Veterans. Walsh called Veterans who participated with #Occupy and OWS "anti-American". And why? Because he's a Republican it's understood that in the Budgetary circles he will vote the Right way for more money to the MIC.

Conservative Champions of the MIC loved Pat Tillman, until it was learned he was anti-war and wanted to meet Noam Chomsky. Then right-winger chicken hawks Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter ignored or off-handedly smeared Pat Tillman and duped conservative war-mongers could attack anyone who dissuade them of the easy stereotype of the Warrior Pat Tillman.

A simple breakdown of every leading Republican and conservative shows they don't serve in the military [See my post, CPAC=Chicken Hawks United] but, they all sure wave the flag proudly and talk tough and loud about attacking Iran from the safety of their posh air-conditioned offices.

The Republican Party's shameful disregard towards returning Veterans isn't just confined to slandering individual Veterans like Duckworth or Tillman, but extends all the way up to their cutting off of funds and shameful mistreatment of wounded at Walter Reed and and the epidemic of homelessness and joblessness [See my post: Republicans Piss on Veterans where Senate Republicans couldn't find any money in the Budget to aid homeless Vets] the Republican seem content to ignore in the ever increasing escalation war against the President.

The Walter Reed Scandal was known as early as 2004 but it took until 2007, when the Democrats regained control of the House and Senate for anything to be done to alleviate the suffering of those whom the Republican Party and Conservatives view only abstractly through the lens of Right-Wing jingoism.

This is the heart of the Republican Party, it only supports military members who pledge blind allegiance to Right-Wing Dogma. Anyone who dares express a different viewpoint of the Trillion Dollar Plus Yearly Budget allocated towards the DoD is ostracized and cast out as Anti-American so that the Military Contractors can continue to inflate their budgets and steal hundreds of Millions of Dollars from the American people, while the Neo-Cons and Right-Wingers send the poor off to die in far away lands for the enrichment of the 1%.

Right-Wing bigots smear campaign against Trayvon Martin, won't even let the dead rest

One hallmark of Modern Conservatives is their fervent desire to defame the dead because the dead can no longer speak to defend themselves.

But, Right-Wingers have gone beyond their usual efforts with Trayvon Martin and are shitting all across the blog-o-sphere because they need to prove that Martin was one of those types because in their minds it will justify his murder.

The application of Deadly Force can only be justified by circumstances one knows prior to incident. Knowledge gained post hoc can not be used to justify the killing. Even though conservative super sleuths uncovered Trayvon Martin was on at least a five day suspension. That knowledge was not known to Zimmerman nor could it justify his murder.

But, Right-Wingers are ignorant wretches so that doesn't matter to them. They are in a desperate hunt to find evidence that proves Martin was a gang-banger.

Thump and Whip pointed out Conservative race-blogger Dan Riehl unraveling before your eyes. I ventured over there and the level of hatred and evil is very real. Conservatives really believe Zimmerman was justified in murdering Martin.
As a member of the neighborhood watch, Zimmerman was doing exactly what he was suppose to do. He was licensed to carry a pistol, and was properly trained in its use. While these types of altercations are unfortunate, they do happen. There is more to this story than the media is reporting.
Trayvon Martin, committed no crime. Zimmerman had no authority to confront him, attempt to question him and chase him down as was admitted on the 911 call.

But, pointing this out to right-wingers only earns you violent threats as I received from one Koozbane:
Look, you may need authority to walk down a street in your own neighborhood, but we grown ups in the USA are allowed out at night to walk wherever we like, follow whomever we like, and ask questions to whomever we choose.

Unarmed attackers should remain unarmed until they back off or have the contents of the weapon emptied into their flailing carcasses.

To put it plainly so even a dim leftist can understand: Attack a person with a gun and you're going to die.
So, I'm walking down a street and Mr. Koozbane feels free to follow me, confront me, question me and when I run away, chase me and then shoot me.

Almost every post over at Dan Riehl's site deals with slandering Martin to exonerate Zimmerman of the murder.

Riehl linked a facebook account of a Trayvon Martin. The account includes a photo a young black man which proved, to conservatives, Martin was a gang-banger. When multiple people pointed out it wasn't the same Trayvon, Riehl countered, It doesn't appear to be the same Trayvon Martin. But I'm still not sure. It's still linked.

Conservatism is fake Performance Art. It's all designed to provide cover for the Alternate Conservative Reality. But, in so doing they've unleashed their barely contained sub-surface bigotry.

The facebook photo linked by Riehl made it over to Moonbattery and to numerous other right-wing blogs.
Some say this is a different Trayvon Martin who just happens to look similar. As with everything else with this case, we’ll have to wait for the smoke to clear before we know for sure.
Oh, it may not be the same young black kid? Oh well, it's close enough for us. Guilty until Proven Innocent in Right-Wing eyes.

Ace of Spades, showed us what all Liberals know about conservative bloggers, they don't know anything about Law. Ace, gets his dander in a ruff and blames the media;
Oh, the Media decided We Have To Have a National Discussion about this story.

I appreciate the media dubbing Zimmerman "a white Hispanic." Like the Israelis, he's now an honorary member of the Oppressive White Majority.
First, remember it always and forever is about Race with Right-Wingers. Every time.

But, here in Illinois every standard arrest and contact report form has a category for race of the contact (suspect, victim, witness) and one of the racial categories is... White Hispanic. Ace doesn't know this because like all Right-Wing bloggers his goals aren't to report facts but, to attack his objects of hatred (the media, young black men) and cause ignorant conservatives to swallow his garbage and create a wholly fabricated false memory of the incident.

It, of course, gets worse than just trying to work your duped mouth-breathing sychophants into a lather by purposefully misunderstanding a category on an arrest sheet. Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists are making clear their intentions. Not only was Zimmerman right in confronting and killing an innocent man without authority, provocation or probable cause, any of them are justified as well. They don't need anything other than that piece at their side to gun you down.

Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs points out the sickening bigotry Dan Riehl is engaged in and earns his twitter wrath.

Conservative Fury! Obama swoops down and reclassfies Fort Hood Massacre "Workplace Violence"

To the Right it's always President Obama's fault. On Wednesday Senator Susan Collins,
during a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.
But, the right-wing smear machine is taking it even further. Google: Susan Collins, Fort Hood, Department of Defense, and the first 4 pages will be incestously cross-linked right wing blogs, broadly proclaiming Obama Administration Classifies Fort Hood Massacre to "Workplace Violence".

I would say Breitbart's site is the most egregious offender but it's also the title for the often cited but not read Faux News story.

But, as always when dealing with conservatives, there's a flaw or a calculated lie involved. While all the Right-wingers are busily retyping their Obama Sides with the Terrorists quotes from 2008, 2009, 2010, the memo supposedly comes from the Department of Defense. So, I asked some of the conservatives for evidence of the DoD Memo signed by President Obama or the directive from the White House which authorizes this reclassification. Now, of course, I'm not going to get such a memo because it doesn't exist. But, the Right would never let the lack of evidence get in the way of their propaganda. So, instead, I've been treated to the standard chicken hawk right wing rhetoric; get a job, liberalism = terrorism, liberals are evil terrorist appeasers, Obama's a Muslim blah blah blah.

So this is right wing logic: During President Obama's tenure, when talking about military matters, everything good which happens is solely the result of the specific soldiers' action, everything bad which happens is the fault of Obama. Ah, but when the President was named George W. Bush, everything bad which happened was the fault of the specific soldier and everything good was the result of Bush's inspired leadership. Quod Erat Demonstrandum

This, obviously isn't a new right wing talking point. Conservatives have been claiming for years 'Obama <3 Terrorists'. But, latest this incident coupled with Mitt Romney's recent declaration President Obama has, "pursued a policy of appeasement' clearly indicates a new push that C-in-C BHO BFF=AQ.

Bruce Fancher Battles the Barbarians of Zuccotti Park (Rightwing Smear Campaign)

Seriously, "The Barbarians of Zuccotti Park" is like something out of the Robert E. Howard universe.

Anyway a "Hobbyist Photographer" named Bruce Fancher had his story transcribed in the National Review Online. Here is the recounting of that most horrible of days;
Bruce was taking photographs of tents when a man approached him and told to him to “have some respect.” He calmly explained that it was a public park and he had every right to be there. Before he knew it, his camera had been smacked out of his hands, and his face had been punched. Bleeding fairly heavily from his nose, he went and described the assault to one of the many policeman in the square. An ambulance was called, and arrived almost immediately. When she was finished, the EMT told him that it was the “fourteenth assault” to which she had personally been called.

The professionalism of the first responders stopped there, however. “There is a certain expectation of the police,” Bruce told me, but service was not forthcoming: The NYPD officer steadfastly refused to go back into the park, suggesting that to do so would “cause a riot.” As a result, the assailant, described as “light, about 28 years old, muscular, short hair, and well dressed,” got away unpunished. When he described the attack to the reporting cop, the reaction was “indifference. I may as well have told him that it was going to rain tomorrow.” He received little sympathy from the OWS crowd either. Amazingly, “no one saw anything,” and no help was proferred. Perhaps “love for all” doesn’t apply as universally as advertised in the commune.
Ha ha ha! As a cop I can't tell you how many times I've heard the 'Oh officer I was blissfully minding my own business when this awful evil man appeared and without provocation beat me up'.

The "No one saw anything" should be the kicker, that this didn't happen the way old Bruce Fancher (a.k.a. Dead Lord / a.k.a. Timberwolf) described. But, we are living in an age of BS conservative smears and lying rightwing hacks (or in this case hacker). The amazing thing about this story is the absolute full faith the conservatives have that Fancher's version of events is 100% true and accurate.

What's the name of the EMT? What are the case numbers for the alleged "14 previous assaults"? What's the names of the Officers, Fancher talked to? These facts are missing from this story. What most likely happened was a scuffle of some kind but Fancher probably caught the worst of it, but telling the truth to the Cops that he was an active participant in a fight doesn't go a long way to providing the Rightwing with the beloved evidence of OWS thuggery.

It's the story of the young white McCain staffer having a B carved into her face by an evil Obama supporter. Conservatives are only too eager and willing to accept every story that conforms to their views. But, of course, the fact that everyone commenting on the story wasn't there should also give make conservatives pause before ranting about the evil leftists but that sort of skepticism is far too much to ask of rightwing ninnies.
Fancher has a history of being a fairly famous Computer Hacker. But, perhaps some insight into the political viewpoints of Bruce Fancher would help: Here are three reviews posted on Amazon from Bruce Fancher:

Of the One-Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America's Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy by David Horowitz dated March 13, 2009:
Horowitz presents a well-documented, irrefutable case that the academy has been taken over by the radical far-left. This should be a must read for politicians, policy-makers, administrators, faculty (the sane ones), students and their parents. Unfortunately, the Left is a religion, and those who subscribe to it's tenets (you know, the "open-minded") are impervious to persuasion, argument and debate. They know only that they and their beliefs are superior to all others, that if they and theirs had political power, they would be able to transform the world into a far better place than it is now, and that therefore anyone who opposes, or even questions them -- like Horowitz -- is an inhuman monster who must be smeared, defamed and destroyed. So when you read the one-star reviews of this book by the small-minded and intolerant, take them with a grain (better yet, a gallon) or salt.
On The Persecution of Sarah Palin: How the Elite Media Tried to Bring Down a Rising Star by Matthew Continetti dated November 14, 2009:
This book brilliantly takes apart and disproves the vicious smears that the leftist media used to attack Palin during the 2008 campaign. The book makes an excellent and irrefutable case that the media's politically-motivated portrayal of Palin, which was almost inversely proportional to the extraordinary efforts made to ignore and explain away any negative information about Barrack Obama, was unprecedented and bore almost no relation to the truth. Unfortunately, more than a year after the election, the campaign against Palin continues unabated. Today's so-called "fact-checking" article by the Associated Press is so ridiculous that it almost reads as a parody. For example, the eleven (!) contributors to the article take on the role of mind-readers, challenging Palin's claim that she was driven by "purpose" instead of "ambition" by characterizing her book as having "all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto." Hopefully, Continetti's book will help to set the record straight about who the real Sarah Palin is.
On America Beyond Capitalism: Reclaiming our Wealth, Our Liberty, and Our Democracy by Gar Alperovitz dated June 24, 2005:
As PJ O'Rourke says, Liberalism is just Marxism by the glass. It's mind-boggling to think how much of a narciscist someone has to be to imagine that they have the knowledge and wisdom to write a plan to bring to peace and happiness to an entire country. And how out of touch they need to be to imagine that anyone else outside of a small fringe is going to even pay attention.
I wasn't there so I don't know what happened for certain. But, reading this story it's clearly an emotional plea. It's loaded with word usage designed to appeal to the reptilian conservative brain; All of Bruce's actions were cool and collected "He calmly explained" and all the actions by the OWS leftists were viscous, unwarranted and evil.

Additionally, I don't know why when rightwing poseurs and hacks recount their attempts at instigation and the ensuing altercations they write these kind of statements; "Perhaps "love for all" doesn't apply as universally as advertised in the commune." Why do conservatives expect liberals to be tolerant and open to their ignorance, bigotry and hostility? The quote from Karl Popper applies most aptly,
"We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."
So, Rightwing inflitrators and hacks when you attempt to stir up trouble and cause problems and it blows up in your face you've brought it down upon yourself...

Conservative Agent Provocateurs at work to destroy OccupyAmerica

Lying in the defense of Power is always acceptable. Being an Agent Provocateur is a ticket into the lower circles of wealth and privilege, just ask convicted criminal and serial video fabricator James O'Keefe.

In just a few short weeks smearing the OccupyAmericaRevolution has become cause célèbre of the ass-kissing Rich Sycophantic conservatives.

Patrick Howley of The American Spectator was leading the charge to attack the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Read the whole piece with photographic evidence over at Firedoglake. Howley wrote up the encounter himself over at the American Spectator site, but even though Howley changed the story from what he first wrote, what he left up is still incredibly damning:
But as as anyone knew I was part of this cause — a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine in the pages of The American Spectator — and I wasn’t giving up before I had my story. Under a cloud of pepper spray I forced myself into the doors.

I forced myself into the doors and sprinted blindly across the floor of the Air and Space Museum, drawing the attention of hundreds of stunned khaki-clad tourists (some of whom began snapping off disposable-camera portraits of me).
Yep, when the evidence doesn't fit the narrative, just make it up or create it for yourself! A hallmark of the Rightwing Servants and Guardians of the Rich... And of course, the poster child of conservative Lies, Lies and Videotape James O'Keefe took at stroll through the Occupy Wall Street protest hoping to get beat up or something?

These despicable actions are with one goal in mind, to undermine the Revolution and continue the ghastly Neo-Feudalist March towards Wage Slavery the Rich are imposing on America. Remember what American Spectator Bill Zeiser said himself "I guess I am the enemy after all."
