Folks; I think this is an opportune time to expose the dishonesty of the LEFT.
You saw where 2Blocked parroted the DNC talking points..purporting to quote Ronald Reagan.. I have been reminding people how the major media lies..
There are 2 kinds of lies..lies by "commission" and lies of "ommission".. The media rarely practices lies of commission..those can be proven as such.. Instead, they practice massive lies of "omission"..refusing to tell the
whole truth!
The game played with the picture of Reagan is just another example.. They took some words completely out of context and build a falsehood around it. They accomplished it by refusing to report what Reagan was addressing..which was an
armed mob of Black Panthers, raiding the California state legislature on May 2 of 1967, while Gov Reagan was presiding!
The real story was an armed and dangerous mob, raiding a state legislature..but somehow. 2Blocked and the other Lefties missed the main story..here it is from about.com , read about the Black Panther violence..note esp between the red lines;

Funny, isn't it; that the libs can recall & possibly twist what Ronald Reagan said in the face of an armed mob...but can't recall a thing concerning the ARMED MOB !

Black Panther Party (about.com)
From the beginning, the Black Panther Party's focus on militancy came with a reputation for violence.
[60][61] The Panthers employed a California law that permitted carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun as long as it was publicly displayed and pointed at no one.
[62] Carrying weapons openly and making threats against police officers, for example, chants like "The Revolution has come, it's time to pick up the gun. Off the pigs!",
[63] helped create the Panthers' reputation as a violent organization.

California State Assembly Committee on Criminal Procedure was scheduled to convene to discuss what was known as the "
Mulford Act", which would ban public displays of loaded firearms. Cleaver and Newton put together a plan to send a group of about 30 Panthers led by Seale from Oakland to Sacramento to protest the bill. The group entered the assembly carrying their weapons, an incident which was widely publicized, and which prompted police to arrest Seale and five others. The group pled guilty to misdemeanor charges of disrupting a legislative session.

Oakland police officer John Frey was shot to death in an altercation with Huey P. Newton during a traffic stop. In the stop, Newton and backup officer Herbert Heanes also suffered gunshot wounds. Newton was convicted of voluntary manslaughter at trial. This incident gained the party even wider recognition by the radical American left, and a "Free Huey" campaign ensued.
[65] Newton was released after three years, when his conviction was reversed on appeal. During later years Newton would boast to sociobiologist Robert Trivers (one of the few whites who became a Party member during its waning years) that he had in fact murdered officer John Frey.
[25]On April 7, 1968, Panther Bobby Hutton was killed, and Cleaver was wounded in a shootout with the Oakland police. Two police officers were also shot. Although at the time Cleaver claimed that the police had ambushed them, Cleaver later admitted that he had led the Panther group on a deliberate ambush of the police officers, thus provoking the shoot-out.
[28][29]From the fall of 1967 through the end of 1970, nine police officers were killed and 56 were wounded, and ten Panther deaths and an unknown number of injuries resulted from confrontations. In 1969 alone, 348 Panthers were arrested for a variety of crimes.
[66] On February 18, 1970 Albert Wayne Williams was shot by the
Portland Police Bureau outside the Black Panther party headquarters in
Portland, Oregon. Though his wounds put him in a critical condition, he made a full recovery..
