If you’re gullible it’s probably
a good idea to look before you leap.
Just ask “Karoli” a contributor to an über liberal website that is
littered with brainiacs from the administrations of Bubba and Barry.
It all began with a “plagiarized interview”
from an openly satirical site The
National Report. A bogus
website, KCTV7, heisted text from The
National Report that claimed Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) had called for
unaccompanied Central American children to be sent to indoctrination camps to become Americanized
in an interview with Minnesota’s Twin Cities News talk radio host Jason Lewis. There was no such article and no such
interview that featured the Congresswoman.
Scott Kaufman sounded
the alarm suggesting the “crazy racist Bachmann story [was] so believable
liberal websites” fell for the parody. The sites were forced to update the story admitting they were bamboozled.
Everyone knows that Bachmann is a
huge target of the Left and any chance they get to slam her is an opportunity
they will lick their chops to jump at even if they are made to look like
blithering idiots. According to a
Memeorandum thread there were at least three liberal websites that took the
bait hook, line and sinker.
Karoli’s response to the
kerfuffle she created:
“Yeah, I got pwned. How sad is it that it was just this side of realistic enough to believe in the first place. When you have a reputation for making outrageous and ridiculous comments, it becomes easier and easier to believe something that should have been dismissed out of hand. Live and learn.”
