Few things better illustrate the perfidy and dishonesty of left wing activists than a stunning example I found at Bob Owens' blog. A man wearing Nazi garb and spouting Nazi slogans showed up at a Tea Party rally, where he was promptly and angrily confronted, told he was not welcome, and all of this was recorded and posted on YouTube in the following video:

Notice that other Tea Partiers are waving a large sign behind him which mocks the man as an obvious infltrator, and not a real Tea Partier.

Pretty cut and dried, no? Other than commending the Tea Partiers who confronted this asshole agent provocateur, you wouldn't think there'd be much to say beyond the fact that he was so obviously unwelcome ("Unwelcome" is putting it mildly. That Nazi fool is about as welcome at a Tea Party rally as Fred Phelps would be at a gay funeral.)

Except in the hands of the dishonest activists at Think Progress, the above video provided fodder to make precisely the opposite point! They used only a small segment in which he proudly brags of his racism -- and shamelessly placed it in a video purporting to document "Tea Party Racism." Naturally, any hint of the confrontation and the signs was edited out completely.

I kid you not. These Think Progress activists are the worst sort of crooked hacks imaginable. I agree with Owens' assessment:

Think Progress misrepresented everything this video and the Tea Party stands for, and against.

If staffers, including editor-in-chief Faiz Shakir should not be terminated for this behavior, I'd like to know why.

To them, shameless lying in pursuit of their cause is a virtue.
