Imagine, if you will, a sea of protesters in front of the White House for tonight’s State of the Union message. A sign-wielding brigade of like-minded activists of all races, all ages, and all on the same page:
We support the President.
GWB: Defending the Free World.
News cameras, videos, interviews, the whole bit. Now suppose that a journalist discovers that a conservative PAC has paid these protesters to be there. Do you think the lead in the news stories would be about the protests, or about the fact that the protesters were in fact paid employees of the conservative PAC? That’s a rhetorical question, we all know what the answer would be.
Interestingly enough, the only reason that the above scenario would be unusual is because it is about conservatives. This is standard operating procedure for progressives, and others on the extreme political left. And now, Hizballah has decided to take a page from the Leftist Handbook by paying Lebanese citizens, and non-citizens alike to participate in their massive “demonstrations” against the nascent Lebanese democracy.
Do you think the lead in the news stories will be about the “protests”, or about the fact that the protesters are in fact paid employees of Hizballah? This is a rhetorical question, we all know what the answer will be.
