WGHP MyFox8 making unsubstantiated assertions contrary to facts on record

WGHP MyFox 8 reports:
A member of a local conservative group wants an apology from a Guilford County Commissioner over a statement the commissioner made about the member's country of origin at city county commissioner meeting two weeks ago.
Nowhere does the unnamed WGHP reporter offer any substantiation that a comment was made "about the member's country of origin." She or he just drops it in there as if it's undisputed. Lazy; and wrong. In fact, that is an issue in dispute, the County Commissioner in question being on the record as saying the opposite. From the News & Record's Joe Killian:
I spoke with Coleman, who claims that she was responding to the hecklers in the closer rows who began shouting her down about capitalism and America, not Mrs. Adkins, who was near the back of the room and had spoken much earlier in the meeting.
So come on, WGHP, if you have some new information to substantiate the claim, bring it. Otherwise don't present things as facts that are not.

  1. Roch, what do you think Commissioner Coleman meant when she said, "I know where you (sic) from but I'm from America"?

    Who do you think she was addressing?

    Do you buy her story?

    Would this story be such a nothing if the commissioner who made such a statement was a white male and the speaker was African-American?

    It's called an idiom. This one's pretty darned popular on this side of the pond.

  5. "It's called an idiom. This one's pretty darned popular on this side of the pond."

    ...an "idiom" Coleman just happened to use after hearing Adkins describe herself as not being an American by birth.

    Yeah, sure.

    Coleman is a bigot and a hypocrite.

  6. Doc, watch this. It gives you the relevant portions Conservatives for Guilford County edited out of their video, the one that has successfully confused Bubba and, apparently, Fox8.

  7. It does not matter that it took place an hour after Adkins spoke. the "america' response was clearly a reference to what adkins said, wheter you like it, or not.

    This little meme you and fellow Coleman enablers dreamed up is about as relevant as the one you cooked up about Nathan Tabor's "assault" on the guy who punched him during the rally several months ago, despite the obvious visual evidence which showed otherwise, and led to the other guy's conviction in court.

    By the way, your captcha doesn't like my password manager.
