[ Even breitbart seems to think that identifying this guy as an Hispanic is more important than identifying him as an American. The left has won in battle of taking control of our discussions. ]
We have to use the enemies’ own tools against them!
They are the ones that always list race and pit the Hispanics against the Tea Party in ALL OF THEIR NARRATIVES!
Stating the race of this man and the fact that he is a Tea Party member DESTROYS their BLATANTLY FAALSE narritive.
The media was just hoping beyond hope that this was true.
Brian Ross is such an idiot.
He should be fired over this.
Make ABC squeal in pain at the size of the check they’ll be forced to write.
I am glad he is on our side! Godspeed Mr. Holmes.
I agree...Mr. Holmes should sue for an amount that makes ABC squeal like pigs...Ross and Georgie should be fired.
Remember, it’s the narrative that’s important - not the facts.
I’ll still never get over the incendiary way the media tried to make Palin complicit in the Tucson mass-murder. Within hours, the media’s constantly rotating video loop was of footage of blood on the pavement, Giffords, a photo of the little girl who was killed, and Sarah Palin walking up on stage at a Tea Party rally. Over and over again. It was akin to Soviet or Nazi-era propaganda films and the way visuals were manipulated to tie separate things together, and deliberately arousing intense emotions of hatred.
Anyway, I hope this gent goes ballistic on the media. They are evil scum.
Sue them, Mr. Holmes. Sue them till they bleed from the ears.
You would have thought the media would have learned by their Martin/Zimmerman fiasco. But no .....

“actual malice or reckless disregard” for the truth?”
Did ABC, through its agents George S. et al., demonstrate the above?
Possibly. They wanted to smear the Tea Party. Smearing a large amorphous group like the Tea Party is one thing while defaming an individual is another.
Georgie-boy may have left ABC open to a defamation lawsuit. Liability will turn on the basis ABC had for pointing a finger at JM Holmes. (And he’s `Hispanic’ Heh heh heh)
Is this guy a “white” Hispanic?
It’s a tactic.
It’s a given he is an American.
The left needs to have it drilled into them that not only did they libel a tea partier, but also one of their protected classes, an Hispanic.
So true, we need to be as loving as a dove but as cunning as a wolf, fight them on their turf, yet rise above them, it can be done!
Finally joined the NRA this morning. WHY? Because I’m well aware of all the usual suspects that will be coming out of the wood work, and realized it’s time to put up, or shut up.
How many major news items are ignored by the MSM because the truth does not support their ideology?
I'm getting an image of Winston Smith editing history to fit with the current political truth
