Huffington Post smear job exposed! HuffPoo makes a fake video accussing Fox News of racist comments!

Taking a cue from the monkey cartoon fiasco, and of course Eric Holder calling America a nation of cowards on race, the Huffington post launched an attack at Fox News with a video purporting to show John Gibson comparing (Black Attorney General) Eric Holder To a “Monkey With a Bright Blue Scrotum”. Predictably,outrage followed. Here are some of the comments (they may sound eerily familiar to you).

* FOX continues to prove it is part of the most racist network since the KKK

* John Gibson should be fired.

* These guys are unbelievable. Racism and Gibson’s fixation for blue scrotums together would baffle when Freud himself.

* this is not surprising john gibson is a bigot and has never denied it.

* i hope Keith Olbeman has a special comment about this isses!!!

* Keep digging Faux, just keep on digging yourselves into a marginalize racist pit of despair.

There’s only one problem, the video they presented was doctored! Gibson said no such thing and HuffPo has retracted.

From the blog Johnny Dollar’s Place:

The Huffington Post claims they got the video from TVNewser, but obviously did not verify its accuracy. Several commenters note that an ‘annotation’ (words that pop on the screen) has now been added to the youtube video by its poster, admitting that Gibson didnt say ‘bright blue scrotum’. But the original doctored video (without the disclaimer) was saved and can be found here.

Gibson’s response today: “The Huffington Post, in its zeal to slime me, went over the line and posted a phony, fabricated quote, attributed it to me, and which actually constitutes a lie, and a slander. The Huffington Post plays fast and loose on a regular basis, but this time it was caught in an out and out fabricated falsehood.” It’s going to be “All Racism All The Time”, kids.

IUSB has made a high quality copy of the fake video from youtube in case someone tries to hide the evidence

Update 2/25/09: Schmuck gets canned!
