AP Flat out lied about booing Clintons health (Audio of cheers!)
Fox News Audio ^

Posted on 09/03/2004 7:21:09 PM PDT by Phantom Lord

Here is the audio of President Bush announcing Clintons health issue at a campaign apperance. The AP reported the crowd booed and it is getting picked up as fact all over the planet.

IT IS A FLAT OUT LIE!

Search your local papers tomorrow morning for the AP wire story on this, or any inhouse stories saying the crowd booed. Then write a letter to the editor for publication pointing out the lie and include in it a URL to the audio.

I listened to the audio, but it wasn't necessary. Had there really been boos, the AP headline would have been:

"Bush Loses Base; Booed by Party Faithful"

The MSM is soooooooooo predictable.

The funniest thing in all this is that Mrs. Clinton took that opportunity at her news conference to tout there health insurance!

Can they not even have a heart attack without political soap box? Got to love em... They keep me smilin...

Below....
Sen. Clinton said her husband would "be back in fighting form before really very long after the surgery and the period of necessary recovery passes."

She praised the hospital's medical staff and saying: "We're delighted we have good health insurance. That makes a big difference. And I hope someday everybody will be able to say the same thing."

WTF?

It unquestionably sounded like cheers and applause in affirmation of what the president said, wishing Clinton the best.

I am truly shocked by this. (not)

It is incredulous that the AP (or CNNABCBSNBCNYT) actually believes they can make up news about events that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people witness, plus are being recorded on videotape and easily checked.

Talk about gaul.

Wonder when/how/if other media outlets will report this?

This is really particulary nasty. I heard the soundbite earlier on the news and the crowd clearly cheers for Clinton, no booing. How much more is this media going to do to destroy President Bush? I understand they even said President Bush did nothing to stop them! This is war folks!

Oh how different (and better!) we'd be if we could have exposed the lies of the mainstream media employees over the past forty years. Many knew but were helpless compared to today.

For example, the Cronkite lies about the Tet Offensive. If we had stopped the North Vietnam Communists' "most trusted man in America" could we have gotten North Vietnam to the peace agreement years earlier? I think so. Hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive.

"I just heard the clip and all I could discern that could have possibly been considered a "boo" was a "woo". But, I have always been under the impression that a "woo" was a good thing."

when people wooo! it is a high pitched yell. When people boo, it's a lower toned yell. I dont hear any low piched yells so it's safe to assume they're all wooos!

What is it with this woman? Why is everything about "fighting" with her? Sheesh, she is more sickening than he ever was.

I emailed and said I had no idea Michael Moore was writing for the AP.

Did anyone watch the BBC news tonight. It is carried on some local PBS stations.

They showed a video clip of the Bush remarks with cheering right after he announced Clinton's health problem.

THEN, the news reader said the crowd booed!!!

These MSM idiots are pathetic.

WABC radio never misses a chance to bash the president. Their reporter who goes everywhere with the President commented that the crowd politely applauded when the President asked for prayers for the former President.

Exactly. In fact, the "woo" was the only thing that even remotely (and only because it ends in the same vowels) resembled a boo, so the AP story characterizing it as a boo is totally absurd.

Mrs. grifter is seeking some very bad karma with her disgusting exploitation of her husband's clogged arteries.

The main point is: at this moment, the mainstream Democratic press has adopted the modus operandi of the Kerry campaign in general: spinning is no longer adequate, they are making up stories out of whole cloth.
