Dale Robertson, the Tea party activist who operates teaparty.org, taken at the Feb. 27, 2009 “tea party” in Houston
 
This came from last week’s Washington Times, which is obviously a very conservative, Republican-leaning newspaper. My first thought as I read this was surprise that no news outlet had picked up on this, but then I remembered that no one reads the Washington Times:

“But Dale Robertson, founder of teaparty.org, said no one knows who might have yelled out racial epithets during the Capitol Hill protest. He said a Democratic lawmaker refused to accompany Capitol Police officers to identify a white man accused of spitting.

“These people could be anybody. I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats to plant somebody there,” Mr. Robertson said. “They’re trying to label the tea party, but I’ve never seen any racial slurs.”

You mean plant someone… LIKE YOU, Dale???

This idiot is a lying, racist scoundrel—he can’t even spell—and yet he can spout bullshit and nonsense to the Washington Times and not get called out on it. No, to them, he’s a source! It’s utterly preposterous. Even Sean Hannity has higher journalistic standards than the Washington Times.
