WTF? Brietbart.com "reporting" that Biden's speech was "to empty seats"
Um....I watched it and seemed like a good and very appreciative audience! Alternate Breitbart reality now all over wingnut universe.

Don't for a minute believe this photo was of Biden's speech:
We should have a DU Debunking Squad for this kind of bull -- I know there must be real photos out there to combat this kind of thing. But the sheer volume of daily RW lies is too hard for one person to keep up with.

from Reuters
Aren't those two ladies (first row, third and fourth from the left) the same ones who were bored to tears in the pic from Robme's speech the other day?
They both had a look on their face that said, "this is some bullshit."
Just an observation.

Do these fools think the people who attended believe their crap?
I suppose those "token negroes" Rmoney flew in for Rmoney's NAACP speech were no longer at the convention when Biden made his speech, hence the "empty seats."
Another day for "accurate" "truthful" right-wing "journalism."
They did the same about Obama's speech at OSU:

Politico pointed out that OSU was actually filled with thousands of supporters...the report quotes one source saying that about 4,300 of the total 18,300 seats were empty.

The mistake the Obama team made, apparently, was overhyping how they believed the venue was going to be packed to capacity with supporters.

Nevertheless, the Breitbrats found a photo that was tweeted prior to Biden’s arrival and decided to post that with an article that said that “Biden Addresses Empty Seats at NAACP Convention.” Obviously, that was not true. The larger photo of an enthusiastic crowd was taken by an actual reporter from Reuters. Not surprisingly, the mysterious editors at Fox Nation (who Fox refuses to identify) re-posted the Breibrat item as if it were certifiable news.
In addition to the false assertion of an empty hall, the Breitbrats sought to portray their fabricated story as a “misstep for a presidential campaign unable to find its footing.”
“The low turnout could be due to weather, as Hawkins suggests, or perhaps it could have been in protest because the NAACP was snubbed by Obama. Or, maybe people didn’t feel it imperative to hear America’s Grandpa ramble on about how much he learned in a Reverend Wright’s church.”
Of course, neither the weather, nor an alleged snubbing, prevented the conferees from attending in force. But what’s worse is the reference to Rev. Wright. That bit was cribbed from Michelle Malkin. As it turns out, Biden was not referring to Jeremiah Wright at all. It never occurred to these goofballs that there might be more than one Rev. Wright in America.
