Fox News Can't Stop Rewriting The Tea Party Past

It's hard to tell which task Fox News and the rest of the far-right media are more obsessed with these days, smearing the Occupy Wall Street protest with endless name-calling, or rewriting the history of the Tea Party to make it appear so much more serious and civil than Occupy Wall Street.

The latest whitewash attempt came last night when Monica Crowley, sitting in for Bill O'Reilly, complained the Tea Party had been smeared “for nonexistent offenses. The racism that didn't exist, the signs that didn't exist.”

Guest Bernie Goldberg replied that “if there was one sign at a Tea Party rally that was racist, it would get on the air. I guess I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is suggesting that it was typical of the whole movement.”

Crowley insisted there were no racists signs at Tea Party rallies.

Really?
