Dale Robertson, the racist nut who many in the media have paraded as emblematic of Tea Party attendees, claims to be a "leader" of the movement. In fact, he is a loner who has been rebuffed by every Tea Party group with which he has associated.
It turns out his "leadership" is not the only thing Robertson embellished. In a brief bio on his website, he lies about his military career.
Freedom of Information Act request by blogger Jonn Lilyea at This Ain't Hell reveals that Robertson was discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves after serving less than a year. That is quite an embellishment from the record he claims on his website. Robertson's statement is, in fact, riddled with falsehoods.
Of course that did not dissuade the liberal media from unquestionably presenting him as the "leader" he dubiously claimed to be. The Washington Post and liberal blog Talking Points Memo both portrayed him as such, despite the fact that numerous Tea Party groups have publicly denounced him (none, as far as I can tell, have backed him).
TPM, WaPo, and others in the liberal media will no doubt ignore Robertson until he pops up again with another derogatory sign, or runs in front of television cameras shouting racial slurs. That, after all, has been the extent of Tea Party coverage thus far--we've been given no reason to believe that facts will change a thing.

Typical...
Either he can’t spell the n-word or he can’t spell ‘cigar’.
Also, note to self: Must watch “Blazing Saddles” again...
“Today, we are gathered here to welcome our new...”
Zat him??? He sure as hell cain’t spell!!! (Hay, that arhymes!!!)
He should learn some grammar.
The leftist media loves to smear all sorts of individuals by smearing groups and finding a fake representative that will “play along”.
This time it is Tea Party supporters. Thirty-five years ago it was Vietnam Veterans — all portrayed as crazy or forever malajusted.
"He said the sheriff is near!".... Ahhh, the classics.
First I’ve heard of this turkey. Either a nutcase or a Democratic Party operative.
bttt
Thanks. Dude is an obvious plant. One of the threads you linked shows one of his “accomplishments” is an analyst at Merrill Lynch. There is an analyst at Merrill Lynch - in London. So this person goes on Google, does a search on “Dale Robertson” (is that his real name?), and assumes all the backgrounds (favorable of course, let’s leave out any criminals) of all the Dale Robertsons in his search. How original.
Ten years ago someone did a google search on my real name (person had an axe to grind), and one of the hits was a prominent member of Aryan Nation and Christian Identity (and is currently in prison). In her mind I became that creepy person.
Not "This" Dale Robertson!
reping
Alan Colms was just on with Megan saying that he had this guy on the radio. Apparently, FOX or Megan doesn’t have this info?
oh that is the one with the trick sign where you can see the N word was concealed until in front of reporters.
"He said the sheriff is near!".... Ahhh, the classics.
"No, dangnab it I said the sheriff...BONG!..."
