On Saturday, conservatives held a pro-Zimmerman rally to counter the New Black Panther “Justice for Trayvon” march in Houston. Breitbart’s Brandon Darby reported that the police did a good job keeping the two sides apart, but one person on the NBPP side did manage to mingle with the pro-Zimmerman side. (*see update)
Seriously, AP/ New York Daily News…you found nothing suspicious about this woman?
Via Gateway Pundit, The Houston Chronicle identified her as Renee Vaughan:
One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, “We’re racist & proud.”
Austin resident Renee Vaughan echoed the sign’s ugly sentiments by yelling, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better because we’re white,” at the Martin group as they passed, according to the Chronicle.
Because racists typically self identify that way – “We’re Racist and we’re proud! We’re better than you because we’re white!” Happens all the time.
Since you can’t expect reporters at the AP, NY Daily News or Houston Chronicle to actually have working B.S. detectors, citizen journalists like Kristinn Taylor have to do the job of smoking out this left-wing moonbat infiltrator.
Scanning the internet we found that a “Renee Vaughn” from Austin worked for a far left environmental group, the Texas Campaign for the Environment.
Renee even has her photo linked to a far left environmental website.
There are also plenty of pictures of Renee at the Texas Campaign for the Environment Facebook page.
What do you know – here’s one of her wearing those awesome, pink cat-eye sunglasses!
Yup, that’s her, alright.
Man, it takes a special kind of stupid to hold up a sign professing to be a racist, and then tell reporters your real name. But that appears to be what happened, here.
Spread this…Unfortunately, that fraudulent picture went viral worldwide. We can only correct the record by spreading the truth.
UPDATE:
Breitbart New’s Brandon Darby interviewed Vaughan. He notes that she was located on the Trayvon Martin/New Black Panther Party-supporting side of the demonstration It turns out that she was sarcastically trying to make a point about what she perceives to be white racism in the pro-Zimmerman crowd – but reporters everywhere took her seriously..
I was present in Houston and personally saw the woman holding the sign. She was attending the event with a fellow anti-Zimmerman demonstrator who was wearing a hoodie. I interviewed her and took this footage:
So what we have here is a total lack of critical thinking skills on her part (equating support for Zimmerman with racism) and the media (uncritically accepting the “too good to check” story.)

The Houston Chronicle’s Jayme Fraser may have changed the text of her article from ‘One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, “We’re racist & proud.” Austin resident Renee Vaughan echoed the sign’s ugly sentiments by yelling, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better because we’re white” (via Gateway Pundit.)
to
“At one point, Renee Vaughan of Austin mocked protesters by chanting, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better ’cause we’re white.” (via Big Journalism.)
The New York Daily News also excerpted the line, attributing it to the Chronicle:
Austin resident Renee Vaughan echoed the sign’s ugly sentiments by yelling, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better because we’re white,” at the Martin group as they passed, according to the Chronicle.
What I’d like to know if if Fraser was just being sloppy, or maliciously disseminating a smear, or if the Daily News just misreported the whole thing.
Brandon Darby is of the opinion that The Daily News significantly distorted the Chronicle story. I’ve emailed Fraser to find out and will update if I hear back.

Reblogged this on Reality Check and commented:
Reblogging to show what is really happening. The instigators in this racism CRAP (and it IS CRAP) are Communists. I posted it a week ago, and showed images from http://www.revcom.us/ on the bottom of their signs. They are FORCING racism to the forefront as a way to split this country up.
People BETTER start taking NOTE about this and stop them.

I think Kristinn Taylor and perhaps others on Twitter did most of it.
I went looking on FB because I wanted further verification that we had the right Renee Vaughan. That’s where I found the picture of her wearing the same sunglasses.
Check out my update. Brandon Darby interviewed her.

And then there’s this one too, which – if you look at the eyes and big ears especially – might be her also, some years ago:
