Adam Shriver: Often Wrong but Never in Doubt

Shriver whines and bemoans the fact that we just won't lay down and let him lie lie lie.

Shriver, the self-appointed media political officer/commissar of south St. Louis, says we were "busted" by Crooks and Liars and Media Matters, two organizations heavy on spin and light on substance.

Then the tired meme of "selective editing" came back up, even though we released the transcript and, surprise surprise, it doesn't help Judy, Don or Adam. Here's the old article for reference:

But here's Shriver's pathetic point: distract and deflect from what Judy Ancel and Don Giljum said:

1. "Violence is a [political] tactic, to be used when appropriate." - Judy

2. "When you have a crisis, you have an opportunity to introduce a shock—which is a massive change. Generally, if you’re following the neo-liberal playbook, it’s one that shifts power dramatically." - Judy

3. I instigated a riot "where several police cars were burned." - Don

In what context are these comments ok?

EVEN JUDY DOESN'T LIE AS MUCH AS SHRIVER, she tries to say that her quotes were "pedagogical explanations" meaning that she was just challenging the students with ironic, contrary viewpoints. But she was approvingly citing to a documentary where violence had been used to get political results.

Adam Shriver is a committed leftist, he's made himself a public figure in the organizing for left-wing causes around St. Louis, and sees this as his personal jihad against the right. To that end, he's willing to lie, obfuscate and twist words, meaning and create distractions to avoid the obvious: these students were being indoctrinated into radical union organizing which made violence casual and lighthearted in order to radicalize them to do anything for the cause.

Judy and Don were never vindicated, but the left-wing noise machine was able to overwhelm the Breitbart team so that the story died the death of a thousand distractions. It's impressive how well they circled the wagons, but it's disgusting the extent to which they'll lie in order to advance their agenda.

The story stands for itself, the video speaks for itself, and the words were never out of context nor were they selectively edited.

Adam Shriver is a damn shrill. We hope Judy and Don at least bought him a beer for all his propagandizing.
