One way to get the MSM to show footage of the 9/12 crowd.

Hannity is caught by Jon Stewart using footage from the larger 9/12 project for the spur-of-the-moment Bachmanapalooza. Freepers spin like champions:

Kleon goes with the Clintonian "BJ isn't sex" type defense:

Hannity never said that the footage was from the Bachmann event.

No, he just showed it while talking bout the Bachman protest.

Flightdeck goes with the "all protests are the same."

So Hannity shows a clip of a different day where thousands of people were protesting deathcare and and Stewart’s logic is what again?

snowrip prefers the non-sequitor route:

Uh, these guys can’t even get the fact that the event wasn’t organized by Beck.

I believe the correct estimate of the Tea Party protest was closer to a million, per the Capitol Police and Dept. of the Interior.

alicewonders prefers blind belief in chosen sources:

When you're over the target, you take the most flak. I didn't see Hannity's show - but I'm pretty sure they weren't trying to fraudulently portray the turnout as anything it wasn't.

The libs are obsessed by the numbers of people showing up to "teabag". Now they are girding their loins for Sarah's book tour next week. They're getting all wee-wee'd up about it.

Nice throwing in the non-sequitor at the end too.

SJSAMPLE hits the 'apology excuses the sin' button:

I love it when Conservatives take responsibility, admit mistakes, apologize and correct the problem.

Diffuses the situation in a responsible manner.

Good on him.

z3n doesn't seem to understand the idea of a staff:

lol @ Jon Stwrt sitting around ringing his hands and biting his nails watching fox news all day like a maniac hoping for an innacuracy.

*shakes fist* I’ll get you someday!

SOMEDAY!

By the way, I wanted to post on this yesterday, but I saw no threads other than one that was pulled with the message "this has been done to death." Really, the mods should have more faith in Freepers' ability to discredit anything not in their wold view.
