So Ann Romney never said 'you people?' You mean liberals manufactured outrage over something that wasn't even real? LOLOLOLOL #p2

Kevin Eder (@keder) July 19, 2012As Twitchy reported earlier today, liberals had their knickers in a twist after the lapdog media blew up a story that Ann Romney had used the phrase “you people” when dismissing the fuss over her husband’s tax returns.
Right on cue, lefties lined up to lay into the Romneys:
Funny, conservatives had a field day with #obamadiditforyou but are eerily silent about Ann Romney's #YouPeople.—

What Ann Romney meant when she said "we've given all you people need to know" is that we should know her husband would be an awful president—

@MittRomney what does the Mormon church have to say about all the lies you say or is it a part of #youpeople faith #edshow—

I hope Ann saying "You people" to an African-American reporter won't hurt Romney w/the Self-Loathing Black Republican Vote.—

Oh, puh-leeeeeeeeze. Thanks for playing.
As it turns out, the Left was foaming at the mouth over a big, fat nothingburger; it seems Mrs. Romney didn’t use “you people” at all.
The media ran with a false narrative? Let us show you our shocked face:
ABC walked back its earlier claim that Ann Romney had uttered the “you” in question:

You People? – What Did Ann Romney Say About Mitt’s Taxes on GMA? – There’s a Debate Online.
Was it – “And we’ve given all people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how — you know, how we live our life.”
Or was it – “And we’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how — you know, how we live our life.”
Our ruling after reviewing the original audio is that she did not include the “you.”

@DLoesch ABC just came out and clarified that Ann Romney didn't even say "you people."—

Some liberals accused both the Huffington Post and MSNBC of altering Romney’s quote to protect her.
Shame on #HuffPo for sanitizing #AnnRomney's offensive #YouPeople comment in its screaming headline.—
Hattie Knuff (@hattieknuff) July 19, 2012
@AngryBlackLady MSNBC (Andrea Mitchell) & HuffPo both scrub out the #YouPeople part of the comment in 2 different ways: http://t.co/4BU3Cq10—

Can someone tell me why @MSNBC https://t.co/0l10VgJA and HuffPo http://t.co/itH7a0fw are sanitizing #QueenAnn Romney's #YouPeople comment?—

Conservatives, fed up with the growing list of lapdog media bungles, fought back against the asinine #youpeople meme.
#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen liberals fabricate more information, and get caught! #YouPeople bother me.—

She never said it! RT @Matericia: #QueenAnn has created yet another job! Horsehair collector! Minimum wage- no benefits! #youpeople—

Ann Romney didnt say #YouPeople but Michelle Obama did say she wasnt proud of her country until her husband ran for President.—

#YouPeople has been trending all day, and none of these drones realized she didn't even say it? Wow.. #Robots—

So Ann Romney didn't say #YouPeople but #YouDidntBuildIt is still hanging around Obamas neck—
Ute Bell (@utebell) July 19, 2012
Why stop at adding one word to Ann Romney's statements? Why not just add in "Let you people eat cake while I ride around on my horses!"?—
DrewM (@DrewMTips) July 19, 2012
Seriously. RT @Neal_Dewing: #YouPeople just imagined you heard Ann Romney say "You People." That's sad.—

Dear #p2 Apologize to Mrs Romney: abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics… #tcot #youpeople—

As is the case with so many instances of liberal gun-jumpage, waiting for an apology will be an exercise in futility.
