The Vicious Babushka: EPIC FAIL: ‘Israeli Flag Is Banned in Dearborn!’ Uh, No. It’s Totally Not.

Right-wing Outrage Du Jour is about an anti-Muslim extremist who accompanied Quran-burning Terry Jones at a provocation outside a Dearborn high school. The activist had a pair of Israeli flags with him, in a lame attempt to disguise the Islamophobic demonstration as something supposedly “pro-Israel.”

This caused a flutter on Twitter with a bunch of people tweeting “The Israeli Flag is Banned in Dearborn!”

Here is the flag of Israel flying high in Dearborn. Police have not taken it down, they have no intention of ever doing so.

Yeah, yeah? Well, what about the Gallifreyan flag? Is it banned in Dearborn? I've never seen it fly there...

We now pause while everyone goes to look up Gallifrey.

Great. Apparently there's such a shortage of existing anti-Semitism & other types of hatred that some people feel the need to manufacture more out of thin air.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this stuff, VB.

How many lies can you count in one Tweet? DUMBASS.

Anti-zionist blogger @viciousbabushka is happy about Israeli flags being taken down by Cops in Dearborn: is.gd/gjTOsC

At least three:

1.) You're about as far from being an anti-Zionist as anyone can get.
2.) You aren't happy about Israeli flags being taken down because...
3.) Dearborn cops did no such thing.

These people have no shame whatsoever when it comes to lying.
