Will the Right Wing Blogs Correct Their Bogus ‘Black Panther’ Story?

Do you think there’s any chance that the right wing blogosphere will do the right thing and correct the ridiculous and totally false “New Black Panther Party” story launched yesterday by the execrable Andrew Breitbart?

I’m kidding, of course. Being a right wing blogger these days means never having to say you’re sorry. They’re utterly dedicated to destroying Obama by any means necessary. Facts are irrelevant. And no one really expects any better of them.

Andrew C. McCarthy at the National Review: no correction.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is the only one I could find who made a token effort to address the actual facts of the case, but with a dishonest update:

Update: Some are arguing that this wasn’t a campaign appearance, but the commemoration of the March on Selma.  However, Obama was clearly campaigning there (as was Hillary); he even gave the speech in which he said that he owed his existence to the March on Selma even though he was born almost four years prior to the march.  Besides, if Rick Perry or Mitt Romney just happened to share a stage at a Fourth of July celebration with, say, the leader of Stormfront, would that also be a non-story?  Something tells me … no.

No, Ed — “some” aren’t “arguing” that this was the commemoration of the Voting Rights March, it was the commemoration of the Voting Rights March, attended by tens of thousands of people. And the Stormfront comparison is just ludicrous.

Pamela Geller? Not a chance.

Bryan Preston at Pajamas Media: no correction.

Michelle Malkin: no correction.

And last but least, the Internet’s dumbest man, Jim Hoft, jumps in a day late but full of derp: Mark Levin: Obama’s Appearance With New Black Panthers Destroys Media’s ‘Perry Rock’ Story.

What an absolutely classic example of the closed loop echo chamber of the right wing. They’re simply ignoring the facts as if they don’t exist.
