PINOCCHIO

This former Democrat watched the comings and goings
of the 2012 Democratic National Convention and I would use the “Shock and Awe”
term to describe the sideshows that were created.
The Washington Examiner reported DNC Chairwoman
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) falsely quoted Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador
to the U.S. “We know, and I’ve heard no less than
Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous
for Israel.” She added, “They’re undermining Israel’s security by suggesting
that the United States and Israel don’t have anything other than a unique and
close and special relationship. It undermines Israel’s security to its
neighbors in the Arab world and to its enemies. And we need to make sure that
the fact that there has never been and will never be daylight between the two
parties or the support for Israel that we have in the United States, that that
is conveyed to Jewish Americans across this country. That’s our responsibility.
It’s the responsibility we’re asking all of you to take on.”
Following the conventioon FOX News asked her about the comment and the fact that Oren denied saying
it. “I didn’t say he said that. And
unfortunately, that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. Not
surprising that they would deliberately misquote me.” Unbeknownst
to her, the Washington Examiner’s Beltway Confidential
blog had posted audio (http://washingtonexaminer.com/dws-attacks-examiner-for-deliberately-misquoting-her-but-heres-the-audio/article/2506980#.UEnyz7JlQY7).
She now has the distinction of
having earned “4 Pinocchios” by Pinocchio Tracker.
As of this writing I’m still waiting for any other American media outlet with
integrity to report the story. Locally, there hasn’t been any mention of it in
Cleveland’s Plain Dealer daily newspaper.
Through Sullivan’s Eye it’s perpetuation of “The
Big Lie.”
