Newsbusters has the story of the Washington D.C. NBC affiliate running a leftwing spoof of the Tax Day Tea Parties as real video.
I say "spoof video," but it's really worse than that: It's a video shot by leftists of other leftists who, after trying and failing to infiltrate the D.C. Tea Party, moved elsewhere, chanting slogans like "tax work, not wealth" in an effort to falsely make Tea Party attendees look rich, callous and out-of-touch. It's not a spoof meant in fun, but a spoof meant to slander. And NBC either fell for it or is complicit.
The video has been taken down from the D.C. NBC affilliate website, but you can see it here.
The funny part is that (a) the journalists fell for it and (b) that the "protesters" couldn't even come up with slogans that are close to actual Tea Party slogans.
