BUSTED!! McCain's "C*nt Questioner" Is a Huffpo Reporter!! ...Update: It Was a Team Effort!
HUFFINGTON POST SPREADS MANURE AT McCAIN IOWA TOWN HALL EVENT--
Senator Joe Biden stands with his campaign office manager Marty Parrish.
Obama Supporter and Former Joe Biden Campaign Office Manager, Marty Parrish, crashed John McCain's town hall meeting yesterday determined to ask Senator McCain if he had called his wife a c*nt (Video HERE).
Marty Parrish is a Huffington Post contributor.
How do we know?
...Because, that's how he registered when he arrived at the event yesterday.
Here's a copy of the press sign-in sheet for the town hall event:

If you look at the list you can see that there are two Huffington Post reporters listed- Marty Parrish (the questioner) and Keith Dinsmore.
Guess who was filming Parrish?
Marty Parrish, an Obama supporter, signed in at the press check in as a Huffington Post reporter.
NICE GOING HUFFPO!
That's some pretty thick manure-- even for Iowa.
SICK!

Dem Operative Asks McCain If He Called His Wife a C*nt
UPDATE: John Gibson confronts Marty Parrish on the Soros-funded organizations behind the McCain c*nt attack, via Little Green Footballs.
Marty, the "Baptist Minister," says his church is the First Baptist Church in West Memphis, Arkansas.
His name is not listed at the church's website.
** Tom Maguire discovers that his profile has changed in the last 48 hours to include "Baptist Minister."
Huffpo says Marty moved to Des Moines from Arkansas last year to work for Biden.
MacsMind has more on the plant.
UPDATE 2: This is PATHETIC!
HuffPo writer Keith Dinsmore who signed into the event as a member of the press below Marty Parrish held an "surprise" interview with Parrish after the event.
They both signed in as HuffPo reporters.
Gee- Do you think that was a hard interview for Keith to land???
No where in the "interview" did Keith Dinsmore report that Marty Parrish works for Huffington Post.
And, Gee- Wasn't it convenient that all of those MoveOn.org activists just happened to be outside to hand out Marty's anti-McCain pamphlets???
This is fraudulent reporting at its worst.
UPDATE 3: Topsecretk9 found this: Huffington Post reported Keith Dinsmore was the Communications Director for the Biden Campaign in Iowa.
Tweedburst says, "Apparently the Biden campaign is the Official Democrat C*nt Patrol."
Keep it classy, Democrats!
UPDATE 4: Glenn Reynolds asks an important question: "If these were "ordinary people" who registered as journalists from, say, Talon News instead of the HuffPo, and they asked a question involving an obscenity to Barack Obama at a town hall meeting, would the press treat the story the same way?"

The longer this goes on (Obama vs Clinton as the driver) the more and more the 'Progressives' get exposed for what they really are. Good.
Liberal "reporter" sneaks into McCain event to spring an supposedly embarrassing question.... (yawn).
My question is, what the hell did this guy expect McCain to react? "Oh, man, you cought me??" What does he expect the world to think? Gasp! How dare you.... John McCain!(?)
On what planet is his behavior not going to be considered the utterly beyond the pale, boorish, no-account, (white)trash, vulgar, loutishness of a no-account, graceless loser?
Unless, of course, he comes from the (ahem) "reality based community", I suppose.
Even gravity there is different, I understand.
It is Keith Dinsmore - you can read his "article" describing the staged event at the Huffington Post from a link in the link you provided.
Big Deal, he said he was from the Huff Post and he asked about a something everyone's heard before, it's not like he's lying or hiding. Why can't McCain face questions from liberal media? What's he afraid of?
disgusting
Liberals are all about bottom feeding. I hope they keep up this disgraceful run for the White House because they look more and more like idiots with every day that passes.
Wow, what a bold and daring question you've posed, anonymous (can you smell the sarcasm?). Never mind the fact that Huffington Post's article doesn't identify Marty or Kieth as being from...Huffington Post but instead call Marty a Baptist minister business owner and Kieth as being from 'OffTheBus'. Even if those things are true, to not disclose that they're from Huffington Post is about as unethical as you can get when it comes to journalism, that is, if you consider huffpo a form of journalism.
anony 2:42,
A little thing known as ethics in the profession of journalism.
As a journalist, unless one is doing investigative journalism to uncover some evidence, plot, crime then the reporter identifies themselves.
Especially at any interviews, meetings, public forums.
That Arianna allows this, does not condemn it for the false reporting, fake trickery, misleading titles and omission of truths to the public shows just how twisted, unreliable and disgusting leftist journalist sites like this operate.
They are ruining the name of journalist, the profession and causing the entire public to not trust them anymore.
When you can no longer trust the media, freedom become fragile.
Wake up. This was deliberate fraud on the part of a media outlet.
They should be skewered on the barbi from both sides. And any reasonable person should write in complaints, demand an apology or withdraw support of such a cartoon media outlet.
Most people will never know this guy was a HuffnPuff reporter. Unless the media at large corrects it, condemns it and condemns Arianna's operation for the tactless and fraud journalism she is creating.
This is not the first time her faux journalist site has dregged up tabloid-like garbage, chicanery and deceit.
This is nothing but propaganda like hit jobs, disinformation and fraud.
GP, you have a porn troll! Mitch Hasse, disgusting.
You'd think Arianna Huffington would be embarrassed to be associated with that p.o.s. website after everything that's been exposed since its inception.
Or maybe not.
Why can't McCain face questions from liberal media? What's he afraid of?
Posted by... "anonymous." The irony is strong in this one.
GP, you have a porn troll! Mitch Hasse, disgusting.
Probably the same nitwit who's been trolling my blog with abusive, pornographic posts.
Check my blogg to see Biden explaining his former employee.
anonatard 2:42pm:
The question you should be worrying about is which bag of Obama's dirty laundry is going to be opened next.
I am going to guess it will be Bill Ayres. The Kenyan stuff will best be saved for September if the Democrats are stupid enough to nominate him.
The funniest thing is that people actually take the Huffington Post as serious political commentary.
Really is that the best you can do?

some insight as to how Obama operates..
excerpts:
[Though it didn't make national news, Obama inflamed many residents in his old state Senate district last March when he endorsed controversial Chicago alderman Dorothy Tillman in a runoff election.
[snip]
Just three months before Obama made his endorsement, the Lakefront Outlook community newspaper ran a three-part investigative series exposing flagrant cronyism and possible tax-law violations that centered on Tillman and her biggest pet project, a taxpayer-funded cultural center built across the street from her ward office that had been hemorrhaging money since its inception.
[snip]
In the end, Tillman lost the election despite Obama's endorsement, which critics said countered his calls for clean government. Obama told the Chicago Tribune that he had backed Tillman because she was an early supporter of his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign.
[snip]
"A close examination of Obama's first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career," wrote Tribune political reporters David Jackson and Ray Long. "The man now running for president on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it."
[snip]
But Hull's campaign imploded just weeks before the election when his divorce files were unsealed, revealing an ex-wife's charges of verbal and physical abuse.
Obama unleashed a barrage of television ads just before the election, when the other candidates had largely depleted their war chests. He won the nomination with 53 percent of the vote.
In the general election, Obama squared off against another multimillionaire: Jack Ryan, who later dropped out of the race after a judge ordered his divorce files unsealed. The documents revealed that Ryan's ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, a former Miss Illinois best known for her role as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager, accused him of trying to coerce her to perform sex acts in public.]
can we say "personal" politics..

LGF has the radio interview John Gibson did with Marty Parrish. It's pretty funny! This spineless, leftist, potty mouth troll claims to be a "Baptist minister"!

speaking of ministers..
off with the old preacher, on with the new preacher, same
as the old preacher.. iow: from the pot.. into the fire..

Gateway?
If you read the 1st Huffington link you've provided - the main story on this - you find
Marty Parrish, a business owner in Des Moines, told OffTheBus's Keith Dinsmore that he asked McCain about the incident because he's concerned about how McCain's temper could impact his leadership.
OffTheBus is a Huffington "subblog" which if I am not mistaken, esteemed - ahem - journo professor and critic Jay Rosen is associated with.
In any event, this was a Huffington "staged" news "stunt" and deceptive on Huffpo's part doesn't even begin to cover this.
Way to go Jay and Arianna! Fake news are you! I think I'll put their collective news critics in the bird cage where they belong now. Arriana's built her liberal internet cred decrying the malfeasance of myriad news pundits. Republicans are well aware what a manipulating fraud Arrianna is. Too bad Jay took the bait. Lay down with dogs Jay.

Wow, you neocons sure can dish it out but can you take it when someone hits your figure head below the belt with a legitimate question corporate media wouldn't dare ask? Boo hoo, a liberal asked a question! Boo hoo! McCain is NOT VETTED and the public needs to know about his vile temperament and lack of respect for women.

HT : Rezko [Obama] Watch
It's time for another Pundita Faerie Tale.
Attention American journalists! Do you suffer from Obama Brain Necrosis? Medical science may soon offer help!
[A lab technician in a contamination suit wheels in a very elderly man wearing a bib]
PUNDITA: Good -- [whump screeeeeeeeeeeeee]
[The technician adjusts the microphone on Pundita's contamination suit]
PUNDITA: Good evening to our audience. I am speaking to you from Level D at Grape Island, a super-secret bioterror research facility located somewhere near the coast of the United States. With me is noted bioterrorism researcher Dr. Yuri Shaha -- Shash -- Shashak --
DR YURI SHASHIKOVITCH: You may call me Dr. Yuri. Remember the Battle of Stalingrad!
PUNDITA: Yes, I will. Dr. Yuri, I notice you are not wearing a contamination suit.
DR YURI: No need. I've already had every disease known to man.
PUNDITA: When did it first come to your attention that certain American journalists were suffering from a supervirus that causes brain necrosis?
DR YURI: We noticed they are all exhibiting symptoms of the early stage of infection. Glassy eyes, tingling in the extremities, degradation of higher cognitive functions—including inability to recognize simple patterns of behavior in Barack Obama, memory loss -- inability to remember simple details about Obama's past -- and bouts of euphoria followed by paranoia when hearing criticism of Barack Obama.
PUNDITA: That sounds awful! What are the symptoms of the advanced stage of the disease?
DR YURI: Basically, the brain melts and oozes through the eyeballs.
PUNDITA: Then the disease is fatal!
DR YURI: For American journalists, no, not necessarily. Remember the Siege of Leningrad!
PUNDITA: Yes, Dr Yuri, I will. Why do you think the virus is only attacking certain journalists covering Obama's campaign? Why not those covering the other presidential contenders?
DR YURI: This disease is a variation of Tribal Chieftain Brain Necrosis, which peculiarly strikes halfwits with totemic impulses. There could be a genetic predisposition but we are still trying to isolate the primary site of infection. Right now we suspect the Hamptons during mosquito season and an ingredient used by a certain national coffee shop chain.
PUNDITA: I hope you're not suggesting that an occasional latte or cappuccino might cause Obama Brain Necrosis!
DR YURI: It wouldn't necessarily be the latte itself, but possibly an ingredient contaminated by rat droppings if the rat had been bitten by a mosquito that we theorize carries the virus. Remember the Battle of Khalkhin Gol!
PUNDITA: Yes, Dr Yuri, I will. Now we arrive at the delicate question. Do you find any indication this virus is man-made?
DR YURI: It was originally a naturally-occurring virus that was tweaked by the Japanese Imperial Army after they discovered it wiped out half a brigade in Burma. Then it was stolen and tweaked by the Red Chinese army, which sold it to a rouge KGB agent, who sold it to Idi Amin, who sold it a terror outfit in the Caucasus, which sold it to Pakistan, which sold it to another group in the Caucasus. We lost track of it after it was bartered for light arms to a Bosnian group, until it popped up in the Hamptons.
PUNDITA: This sounds like a very frightening virus!
DR YURI: Not if you only have half a brain to begin with and won't miss the other half. Remember the Battle of Moscow!
PUNDITA: Yes, Dr Yuri, I will. Is there medical help for Obama Brain Necrosis?
DR YURI: We're trying to scare up funding for vaccine research. Remember the Battle of Stalingrad! Oh! Dear me. Did I already say that?

Anonymous, so how explicit should we get when we ask Hillary how she felt about Lewinsky? And as far as being able to "take it", yeah, we can take it, but why put up with it if we don't have to. Like you said, msm ain't going to touch this story, so we might as well destroy it. Either way, you lose.
Apparently the Biden campaign is the Official Democrat C*nt Patrol. You stay classy, lefties.
Is there really any value to responding to an anonymous child who starts a comment with "You neocons..."?
Here's the thing about this whole c--- "controversy":
The left has latched onto this as a way to call into question McCain's attitude toward women. But there's an elephant in the living room here: While leftist men may be the ones who most vocally espouse fairness and equality for females, they are, in my long experience, more prone to being personally abusive in their own relationships.
Their households and relationships are typically brimming with all manner of psychodrama, with bitterness and emotional abuse toward their spouses, with outrageous verbal behavior.
Believe me, it wasn't old-fashioned conservative men who prompted the pop-psych term "passive-aggressive."
It's an old cliche, for instance, that the hippie men of 1960s San Fran and elsewhere were some of the most misogynistic cats you'd find anywhere. Outwardly, they were politically tolerant, but behind closed doors they were notoriously cavemen-esque when it came to their personal affairs with women.
So let them go ahead and pretend that McCain's alleged use of "c---" somehow lowers him beneath their level. They're just being the faker fools that they are with everything.
McCain is NOT VETTED and the public needs to know about his vile temperament and lack of respect for women.
Slick Willie's temper tantrums were well documented. And of course, he was all about respect for women - just ask Juanita Broderick. Of course, Bill's little foibles endeared him to the jackass party back in the '90's.
What the lefties are trying to do is bait McCain into losing his temper. He treated the question with the contempt it deserved and made the "Rev." Marty look like a total creep and tool.

Reportedly Arianna's goal is to make Huffpost the NY Times of the web.
We can now declare the winner in the race to the bottom! Way to go Arianna!
(nb - apparently these old nags intend to continue down the track, even as they stumble over their stumps. Put those needles and guns away - they must soldier on.)
Reportedly Arianna's goal is to make Huffpost the NY Times of the web.
When I consider the tattered reputation and plummeting readership of the old Gray Tart these days, I sincerely hope Arianna's wish comes true.
It's hard to say "The Newspaper of Record" without laughing.

Parrish is yet another talentless liberal tool whose penchant for vulgarity outweighs his talent and intellect.
