Awful. Just Awful.
But not surprising. The corrupt media will do anything ANYTHING to assist failed President Barack Obama, the worst jobs president since the Great Depression, in his re-election campaign next year.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry won over some Republican voters at a backyard reception held Saturday at the Manchester home of Chuck Stephen and co-hosted by John Stephen, the former Republican gubernatorial nominee. (Shawne K. Wickham/Sunday News)
And, the state-run media is TERRIFIED of Governor Rick Perry from Texas.
Yesterday the AP reported this on Rick Perry’s campaign stop in New Hampshire:
Speaking to hundreds of Granite State voters at a private reception, the Texas governor was asked whether he supported a fence along the Mexican border.
“No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” he said. “The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
The answer produced an angry shout from at least one audience member.
But, Weasel Zippers found this report from WOIA TV on Perry’s speech:
Speaking to hundreds of Granite State voters at a private reception, the Texas governor was asked whether he supported a fence along the Mexican border.
“No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” he said, while referring to the long border in Texas alone. “The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
Instead, Perry said he supported “strategic fencing” and National Guard troops to prevent illegal immigration and violence from Mexican drug cartels.
The answer produced an angry shout from at least one audience member. And it exposed an ongoing rift with some conservative voters over Perry’s immigration record.
The AP deleleted the part of Perry’s speech that including using “strategic fencing” and National Guard troops on the border.
And, then there’s this.
There was no angry shout from the audience. At least that’s what one audience member said.
Via Instapundit:
A BLOG REPORT FROM RICK PERRY’S SPEECH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: “I attended that event, stood about 15 feet from where he delivered those remarks and never heard an ‘angry shout’. Either the AP is making it up or it wasn’t much of a shout. Perhaps they can supply the audio.”
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any video of the reported incident.
** Once again - If you plan on attending one of these events PLEASE bring your cameras with you.
AP MISLEADS READERS ON RICK PERRY: Cherry-Picks His Statement on Border Security & Lies About Audience Reaction
Pinging those who fell for the AP lie. Don’t you get it. The left is afraid of Perry that is why they have the lame stream media attaching him and spreading lies
Ping
Start bringing your cameras to video the AP and libtard reporters
See if you can get their comments on video
Plenty of FReepers were fast to jump on the AP lies and then use them to bash Perry.
You are sadly mistaken, I did not fall for the AP lie, I don’t AP stories!
“The left is afraid of Perry that is why they have the lame stream media attaching him...”
My opposition to Rick Perry is based on what has come right out of his mouth!
You don’t even know what’s come out of his mouth.
Glad you added the /sarc tag. You had me going!!!

They don’t get that the left is afraid of Perry, just like they are afraid of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman and will use the lsm to smear them.
Yes,it is unfair of the AP. No surprise there.
But Perry most likely would be another worthless leftwinger on immigration, just like Bush.
You are speculating and President Bush did not support illegal immigration, unlike the arrogant pos that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the left
The truth hurts, does it?
Perry is a RINO!
He’s a conservative democrat, who used to work for Al Gore.
Who cares?!?!?!?! If it’s for the greater good of helping SARAH! to defeat this usurper in the primary, then go for it AP!
/sadly, the likely attitude of some FReepers...
You left out the part about eating puppies. :)
Thanks for the ping, Kaslin.
shield has the Perry ping list — shield, this is an important article, AP was misleading people on Perry’s position on border security.
