The Houston Chronicle identified her as Renee Vaughan:
One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, “We’re racist & proud.”
Austin resident Renee Vaughan echoed the sign’s ugly sentiments by yelling, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better because we’re white,” at the Martin group as they passed, according to the Chronicle.
================================
That spread far and wide. Wonder if the fact that she is a wacko leftist will spread just as far and wide.
Got a cite that’s not from a right wing website with an agenda?
This may just be David Duke’s big chance for re election!
CORRECTION
An earlier version story contained an error that said that a pro-Zimmerman protester held a sign saying, “We’re racist & proud” and shouted that slogan at pro-Trayvon Martin protesters. The woman displayed the sign in front of the pro-Zimmerman group, in an apparent attempt to mock them. It is unclear whether the woman, identified by the Houston Chronicle as Renee Vaughan, was involved with either group.
Huge picture. Tiny correction. And in one place - the picture is spread world-wide.
So you’re upset that they didn’t make the correction’s size to your liking? I’ve seen correction notices on websites, newspapers, and magazines. They are never huge or attention grabbing, usually on the back somewhere in small print. Your bias is showing because you’re attempting to draw some connection between the small correction and the issue at hand when in fact pretty much all corrections are small. Maybe you should ply your propaganda elsewhere
From National Review Online:
Do you see a correction here?
NBC also published a “correction” for their distorted “racist” quote by Zimmerman. Yet today millions of people think that Zimmerman is racist based on that report.
So you feel that the proper thing to do, the way to mete out justice, as it were, is to falsely attribute attitudes to this woman? Did you issue a tiny correction to your thread title later?
I hate to break it to you Terr, but the people holding signs at Westboro Baptist rallies that protest polyester clothing aren’t actually with the WBC, either.
What correction? She was there to smear the group.
Did I say she was with the pro-Zimmerman group? No, she was there to smear them. And the media took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Maybe you can link to some examples of Fox News showing us how corrections should be done.
You aren’t reading the same retraction the rest of us are. They don’t seem to think she was trying to infiltrate, and she claims she wasn’t.
And people thought Zimmerman was racist well before the NBC thing. NBC just made it a lot worse. (And, yes, they were wrong to do so.) So just because people still think he was racist doesn’t mean they learned it from them. The “black person in a hoody” thing predated the NBC broadcast, for example.
Did I say “infiltrate”? I said smear. That was her goal and that was what she did.
You also falsely attributed a political stance to her, presumably in an attempt to do what in your mind would be “smearing” her. Where did you print your tiny retraction?
She is definitely a wacko leftist.
What’s your evidence for this statement?
Belonging to wacko leftie organization. Not that you would recognize it as such, of course.
What’s your definition of “wacko leftist?” Anyone who has ever voted for a Democrat?
When you’re sitting on the far right, 95% of the world is leftist.
