About Those Obama-With-A-Hitler-Moustache Protest Posters

Here’s a good piece of citizen journalism, exposing the mass media narrative as either incompetence or a lie (or an incompetent lie):

While admittedly there have been other examples of inappropriate references to Nazism at center-right protests and rallies this year (we here at PPC have documented a few of them, and even challenged the offenders on video), this particular poster is altogether different.  As the video demonstrates, the poster was seen at rallies in several different cities (not just a homemade placard like the others we’ve seen), and it received widespread and repeated attention from the mainstream media and the MSNBC moonbats as the “smoking gun” evidence that the center-right is crazy or evil or stupid or what-have-you.

And, as it turns out, it was fairly easy to discover that this poster was the product of the LaRouche movement, a crackpot group that can hardly be called “center-right” (much though the left’s mainstream media would love to implant that connection in the public’s mind, as they have made the odious Pat Buchanan the symbol and spokesman for “The Right™” brand on talking head shows). It’s not just a similar image on different posters, mind you, but the exact same image, appearing in association with LaRouche followers, over and over again, and the same image that appears on the LaRouche website.

It’s hard to tell, but in that repeatedly-used photograph of the sign at the beginning of the video, there even appears to be a LaRouch URL at the bottom…if so, then the laziness/disingenuousness of the media is even more inexcusable.

Update: Funny thing – it’s easy to find images of the same guy holding the same poster, but none have high enough resolution to read the URL. I’ve seen photos from three different angles now, and in neither one is the text legible. In the image shown at dailyKos, the text is conveniently obscured, Austin Powers-style. Now, if I were of a suspicious mind, I might wonder if that was intentional…seeing as how the URL alone would be enough to blow a hole in the “these are right-wing extremists!” narrative.
