Everyone who is pushing the photo of the Chinese plant labeled as being in Il. is being taken in. The plant flying the Chinese flag above the US flag is in China.
I suspect it was planted by someone's ratfucking fucker to poison the well in regards to this story, which when the truth is told is damaging, but the flag photo is providing Rmoney some wiggle room to claim it's all bullshit.
I for one would rather tear them down with unimpeachable facts.

2) Please change "someone's bitch"... it's a worthwhile post and it would be a shame to e hidden for that.

There's a photo all over FB labeled as the plant being in the US. It's obviously a chinese plant, no plant in the US would have its name in chinese on the sign, no factory being closed would put up new signage in chinese as shown in the photo.

(4,442 posts)It is not the image being shown here but it is in the video. The flag is flown near a fence which the workers have used to hang protest signs. It is around 1:11 The workers also complained dthat the American flag was removed, for a time, while the Chinese workers were being trained

(26,449 posts)It's clear that one is not being flown by the factory on their flagpole, which is what the bullshit claim is.

(26,449 posts)I doubt the US flag was shopped into the video and it's pretty clear there.

(12,253 posts)The photo in the OP is definitely of a Chinese factory in China. I can't feature why the Chinese would be flying an American flag unless they were expecting official visitors from the US. That's what seemed strange to me.
On edit: Clarification: referencing the top photo in the article at the link, not in the OP

(26,449 posts)THe photo going around the intertubes seems to be a frame grab.

(12,253 posts)It was very moving and hopefully very effective way to get the word out about Rmoney. This could be IT for his demise. Hope so.

(119 posts)DELETE! Or at least correct the post by editing
The stuff on the thread I started is true, though. So I doubt it would kill the story
hootinholler
(26,449 posts)As to killing the story, do you remember the TANG story Dan Rather did?

(1,302 posts)I've been thinking this since it started trending yesterday. It is enough to focus on the plant closing and leave the flag story alone.
This is the profile of a Karl Rove operation; insert something into an otherwise solid story and take everybody on a wild ride.
He did destroy Dan Rathers career in the same way. The story was true but that memo was slipped in there. And enough with all the demands that the dems jump willey nilley into the flag story.

(262 posts)It is true. My post doesn't have link but does have facts from employees who were let go or laid off. One woman was right about to retire & they screwed her over after decades. Read my post & help everyone with link to video posted yesterday.
Thanks
