Saint Pete Times Fabricated Racist Voter Quote
Obamunists don't just fabricate voters for their dime store messiah — they create imaginary enemies for him too.
In an attempt to convince the public that it's racist not to vote the way we're told, the left-wing Saint Petersburg Times quotes Sandra Cichon of Spring Hill, Florida as telling a pollster:
I can't imagine having a black president.
Cichon learned about her fictitious conversation with the pollster when she read about it in the paper, which had interviewed her for an earlier story, and apparently has been using her name for quotations of their own invention to add authenticity to their pro-Obama propaganda.
Whoever wins this election, the mainstream media will lose, by having sacrificed the last shreds of its credibility in its campaign to install an unqualified left-wing radical in the White House.
On a tip from Burning Hot.

This is getting to be like the old Soviet Union. The quote went something like "We know about the future. It's the past that keeps changing."
Hell, if those pesky conservatives won't say enough inflammatory stuff, just falsify some quotes and attribute them to 'em. Who'll know or care?
Pravda would be proud.

Reminds me of an old joke from the USSR. "Tass", the state-run news agency, translates as "News". "Pravda", the party newspaper, "Truth".
Russians used to say that "there's no Tass in Pravda and no Pravda in Tass".

Cant the paper be sued for this? I hope she gets a good lawyer and puts them out of business.

And the left, of course, sees no problem with this behavior. They're doing the greater good, trying to get his Messiah-ness installed in the White House, so what's a little white lie between comrades, eh?

This is no surprise to me, I've seen the Times develope from a good newspaper to THE newspaper of the Tampa Bay area. Even the Tampa Tribune seems to follow it's lead.
The Largo Leader is a pretty good paper, but too small to compete.

WHITE lie, Coder? WHITE lie? This could be the same type of conservative secret code that they were using at the RNC (i.e. "community organizer" means "black"). Be careful or the Pravda-police will be banging on your door, frightening (in John Kerry's words) "women and children in the dead of night."

I'm sure the paper considers the quotes "fake but accurate". I mean, Cichon might not have said that, but you know there are people out there than feel that way. If we can't actually find any of them who will say it on the record, we'll just have to, you know, make it up. But it's the sort of stuff people like her would say, and we all know it, so it's okay, right?
Hey, I'm not a journalist to report the "news". I'm a journalist to change to world. By any means necessary.
Yay, liberal fruitcakes! One wonders if they are actively trying to campaign against Obama, some times.

Sean Hannity is right: 2008 is the year journalism in America died

And yet it was Michael Crichton that predicted that very thing some 15 years ago.
