Liberal Interlopers Thwart ‘Conservative’ Interviews at Van Jones-Led Protest

So much for freedom of speech and freedom of the press, right?
During a debt-deal related protest on Capitol Hill attended by 9/11 conspiracy theorist Van Jones and various union and left-wing advocacy groups, liberal interlopers attempted to block MRCTV from interviewing protesters on the basis that MRCTV is “conservative” media, hence, would make the activists “look bad” with trick “editing.”
What follows in the ten-plus minute long video is a seemingly desperate attempt by left-wing interlopers to thwart a free press from conducting interviews with liberal activists. Rather than editing, however, perhaps the fear among liberals is that a conservative might ask the interview subject challenging questions — questions the subject might not be able to answer correctly. Perhaps like the instance where one activists insists to MRCTV that Lyndon B. Johnson had nothing to do with the Vietnam War. Odd, considering LBJ escalated the nation’s war efforts, increasing the number of U.S. troops in Vietnam from 16,000 to over half a million during within four years.
But, while facts didn’t seem to get in the way for the interview subjects, the hecklers certainly did their best to protest loudly.
The video is roughly ten minutes long and does feature a bit of background noise at first but what follows might be well worth a look. Watch liberal activists thwart a “conservative’s” interview attempts while others end up answering some rather simple questions, rather poorly:

Posted on August 2, 2011 at 11:06amthe woman that walked away after the interviewer said Johnson escalated vietnam
At Kennedy’s death, there were 16,000 American military advisors in Vietnam.[69] As President, Lyndon Johnson immediately reversed his predecessor’s order to withdraw 1,000 military personnel by the end of 1963 with his own NSAM #273 on November 26, 1963. Johnson expanded the numbers and roles of the American military following the Gulf of Tonkin Incident (less than three weeks after the Republican Convention of 1964, which had nominated Barry Goldwater for President).
Johnson visits Shriners Hospital in Portland, Oregon, in September 1964The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave the President the exclusive right to use military force without consulting the Senate, was based on a false pretext, as Johnson later admitted.[70] By the end of 1964, there were approximately 23,000 military personnel in South Vietnam. U.S. casualties for 1964 totaled 1,278.[69] It was Johnson who began America’s direct involvement in the ground war in Vietnam. By 1968, over 550,000 American soldiers were inside Vietnam; in 1967 and 1968 they were being killed at the rate of over 1,000 a month.[71]
To deny facts because of your ideological views is to be a willfully ignorant.

Report Post »Of course they used these same tactics. It is impossible for them to be able to explain or describe their inablility to back up what they are whining about. I say let them act that way and continue to record it. Most people, even some of the ones that are “supporting” them will start wondering why they are acting that way instead of trying to “get the word out” of why they are doing this. These same people will soon realize what idiots and phonies these people are. It just makes them look worse.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 1:17amI just want to say that during Tea Party events, people would gather to listen to interviews, but noone walked up saying “This person is with the Liberal outlet X”.
First, we don‘t need someone to tell us when we’re faced with bias. Second, we’re happy and proud to tell people what we think. We‘re especially happy to discuss our thoughts with others to make sure they’re sound.
I think a lot of the people the MRC guy interviewed wanted to be honest and talk about their thoughts. It was only when someone came up and scared them into silence that they stopped talking. Even most moderate liberals have a little American left in them.

Yes, he was evil. The problem is we know their playbook and do not have leaders willing to recognize their advances. How they are advancing is beyond mindboggling to me. It’s so easy to see it. But, we need leaders to step up and expose them and be willing to keep us one step (or more) ahead of their tactics.

Actually, Kennedy started with more troops following his advisers. LBJ truly escalated the war while trying to keep it as quiet as possible with the media. Nixon tried to win the war during his first administration, then folded to the will of the lib loons in his second. I still meet teenagers today who actually believe Nixon was the only president to have anything to do with the Vietnam War.
