Obama Supporters Wait in Line to Get Spoof ‘Journalists for Obama’ T-Shirts at DNC

Obama Supporters Fooled by Spoof Journalists for Obama T Shirts at DNC

(Source: Media Research Center)

In a hilarious prank that seemingly went unnoticed by Obama supporters, the folks over at the Media Research Center handed out “Journalists for Obama” spoof t-shirts at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte Tuesday, poking fun at what many consider liberal bias in the mainstream media.

As someone with the MRC team advertised the t-shirts, several dozen DNC attendees showed up to claim the free shirts, seemingly unaware that journalists shouldn’t be “for” anyone — at least publicly. Throughout the video, the guy with MRC can be seen looking up at the camera smiling and then holding up a “Journalists for Obama” t-shirt, obviously pleased with the prank gone right.

Eventually, they sold out of shirts. “That’s it, sorry folks,” one undercover MRC staffer says.

Watch the entertaining video via MRC below:

  All I see are mostly “people of color” once again with their hands out for something free.

  Unfortunately you are wrong. Most of the networks you thnk of with a liberal bias actually made more money/ratings with a Repbulican in office (Bush). They were able to daily go after him for the things they would not / could not with president Obama or any other Democrat in office. Those networks will start at day one with a slash and burn policy, which unfortunately will over time work to undermine a Republican president. Then a Democrat is elected, destroys the country further. Your view only works if the majority of people stop watching those networks when a Democrat is in office, which does not happen in enough numbers to make those networks stop doing what they do.

  @dbla>>>> LOL. It has nothing to do with who is in office. The sleeping giant has awoke, and the obviously LIBERAL MEDIA is crashing. This is why you see random acts of journalism from CNN. The people do not want TO BE LIED TO ANY LONGER.
  
  The old media is dead, which is why WE ARE HERE AND NOT WATCHING MSM.

  Unfortunately it’s the truth. Sadly they know it and there is not a damn thing to be done about it. I can only hope that the undecided people in this country have opened their eyes.

  It would be funny if it was not so pathetically true. The gutsy thing is that even they know it is true and they are betting on no one realizing it before the election.

Those freeloaders didn’t give a wit about paying THEIR “FAIR SHARE” for those shirts, did they?

HaHA! Someone ought to yell out at the Convention Hall that Macy’s is having a “blue light” special, so that we can watch the herd mentality in action as the Hall empties in 2 minutes flat! LOL!

One of you youngsters with all the “tech” knowledge ought to splice this vid along with that of Cory Booker’s vid saying that demanding people to pay their fair share is “patriotic”. LOL!!! Oh gee,stop it, Woodyee! ROTFLMAO!!!

  Someone always pays for “free” stuff although the average Lib actually believes that a free education, house or medical care doesn’t actually cost anyone anything. Or if somewhere in their addled brains that concept seems just a bit askew their reflexive response is to make “rich people” pay for it, that way it’s still free.
  
  They also forget, or ignore the fact, that freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly et al were paid for with the blood of patriots.

Many conservatives extolling biblical and patriotic principles hypocritically condone the moral relativism of ignoring Article 2, Section 1, of our Constitution by tolerating the usurpation of the Office of the President.*

Obama is ineligible!
1. Not a ‘natural born citizen’ as deductively defined and required by Art 2, Sec 1.
2. Born a British citizen pursuant to 1948 British Nationality Act.

Obama may not even be a U.S. citizen!
1. Police prove birth certificate & selective service registration fraudulent.
2. Hawaii routinely registered foreign ‘unattended births’ as born in HI.
3. Foreign birth precludes transferring moms’ citizenship.
4. Indonesian citizenship after adoption.
5. Multiple aliases.
6. Stolen CT SS#.

Obama often omits ‘Creator’ when speaking of ‘unalienable’ rights, reducing rights bestowed by God to mere privileges permitted by politicians!

“In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.” – Thomas Jefferson

1. VOTE

2. Demand Congress depose and prosecute Obama and his co-conspirators! Any politician or judge refusing this duty in violation of their oath of office, must also be regarded as a co-conspirator and similarly deposed or voted out of office.

3. Boycott mainstream media advertisers; inform them you detest their enabling the worst cover-up in our history!

  I love people that act just like the others they’re against. So intolerant of opposing viewpoints then whining about those intolerant of theirs. God I love America where we can express our views then tell others to shut up. I mean that’s not oppressive at all.

  Laughing out loud at your comment!! Most people commenting think it’s about “free” and don’t get that the spoof is that journalists are supposed to be unbiased. But they probably don’t understand what that means either. Love your comment!
  Another slap in the face for the American public school education system, and that gets “sadder” all the time.

seemingly unaware that journalists shouldn’t be “for” anyone — at least publicly.

C’mon! You can’t expect a lib to know that let alone anything else. It would lake a lifetime to explain to a lib why the media shouldn’t be for anyone. They’re so used to the liberal bias in the media they don’t even notice anymore.

Are those the supporters that were trucked in because the dummycrats were afraid they could not meet the estmated numbers – and then paid to buy the shirts?
