Right off the bat from the first few words of the quoted material I can find lie after determined, deliberate lie.

That 'defecation' turned out to be a homeless guy near the protestors. No matter how many times this is pointed out, some people refuse to admit it becuase it doesn't match their narrative.

Rioting? Yeah, when police fire tear gas at peaceful protestors and then a wounded Iraq War veteran with a concussive grenade. Not quite the right word for what happened there.

Verified? I'll grant you that I couldn't be everywhere, but I've repeatedly written about what I found when I went to Occupy Boston a few weeks ago. TWO whole Communists - WHO WERE BEING LAUGHED AT by the rest of the people. (And one of those, I don't think he even KNEW the definition of the word "Communist" - hard to be an Anarchist, which he claimed, if you're a Communist, which he claimed)

Rapes? Where?

Barging into private conventions? Where?

You want to swing people to your way of thinking? Blatant, deliberate lies are not the way to do it because you lose credibility with each and every falsehood.
