The Associated Press falsely reported that Audience boos as Bush offers best wishes for Clinton's recovery at a campaign stop in Milwaukee today. They were caught in the act, and had to retract the story.
You can listen to the audio for yourself right here.
UPDATE 1: Milwaukee talk-show host Mark Belling tracked down the name of the anonymous AP reporter responsible for this hateful smear on the fine people of Milwaukee. He talked to Lee Hughes of the Milwaukee AP Bureau, who identified Scott Lindlaw as the AP reporter..
UPDATE 2: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a RealAudio file of Bush's speech.
UPDATE 3: Thomas Hays has been identified on the byline of the pulled first AP version. Why not send Mr. Hays a polite e-mail?
UPDATE 4: More on this story at Editor and Publisher, Free Republic, Captain's Quarter's, Swimming Through The Spin, Galley Slaves, The Daily Recycler, The American Thinker, and Power Line,

I posted the mp3 file referenced above. Immediately the opposition began to insist that the crowd reaction was cut off to hide the booing.
I have made a longer clip from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (which posted an audio file of the entire rally--but they aren't going to keep it up forever). The longer clip includes ALL the crowd reaction. Please check my blog:

and you will find the new mp3 at the very end of the (currently) top article "Boo Who".

Buildings are not very cheap and not every person can buy it. But, mortgage loans are created to aid different people in such situations.
