Andrew Breitbart Offers $10,000 Prize for Anyone Who Can Document Tea Party Protesters Yelling
reason.com ^ | 3/25/10 | Matt Welch

Posted on 03/25/2010 6:19:30 PM PDT by Nachum

Considering that some of the staffers within proximity of the alleged slurs were reportedly pointing cameras toward the crowd, this would seem like easy money if the story is true. As Michael Moynihan pointed out earlier this week, the anecdote has been presented as fact all over the journalism world.

This whole episode was fabricated in an effort to discredit the Tea Party. There is NO WAY the Capitol Police would have tolerated that many epithets without stepping in to control the situation. And they didn’t, because they didn’t have to.

LOL.

He won’t be losing that money.

Andrew, how about donating it to me when no one claims it? Please?

Beware of doctored videos with scummy libs trying to do voice-over blends...

Not really very hard...I do some audio editing.

I would love to get one of those protest videos and edit the soundtracks to include some audio clips from Blazing Saddles and then send it to some media outlets as proof that there were people using the "n" word.

Jesse Jackson should be calling right now to collect that money with his two up-close video recordings.

"Jesse Jackson should be calling right now to collect that money with his two up-close video recordings."

Jackson Jr. Should be in prison for trying to purchase the Senate seat... and for committing perjury. But we all know why he isn't.

I suggest that you read this thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2477773/posts

And watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiMFcoTzk2A

Listen carefully at 3:31, and again at 3:51. After much discussion on the previous thread, many thought there were a couple of people shouting "traitor".

With all the background noise, it's hard to tell for sure. But, I think it's possible it could be mistaken for something else, especially by someone that was looking for a confrontation.

Listened to them both carefully and someone might have yelled “traitor”. Mostly it just sounds like a wall of noise.

Lies are politically effective. That’s why they’re used. Lies will work here in America, just like they would anywhere else. If you expect politicians to be ethical, you’re kidding yourself.

“He [Barney F] looked at me[Kay Fischer, a protester from North Carolina, interviewed by FOX] and said, ‘F-— you,’” she said.

Shortly after that, she said, a tall man with brown hair, who hadn't been chanting with the other protesters at all, walked up and said “fag” to Frank.

This has started to sprout some conspiracy theories.

Fischer said the protesters immediately admonished him and told him not to say things like that.

“I have gay friends. ... There were a bunch of people moaning like, ‘Oh God,’” she said.

But she said the guy “disappeared” quickly and that was the end of it.

Fischer said she has no idea where he came from, and alleged he was a plant, though she couldn't prove it.

“I think it was staged,” she said.

I firmly believe, with the knowledge of Pelosi & Co, this is a conspiracy by SEIU or moveon.org or ACORN or...

They all could have taken the underground tunnels as they usually do.

Of course the democrats are doing this. It’s all alinsky. They can’t be honest, and they can’t even come up with an original tactic.

Hey democrats, what’s it like to have an ideology that can’t be sold on its own merits?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I heard, too. But, if I turned up the volume and suffered through it, I could hear something that sounded like "....er". (I don't recommend if it someone else in the house, or even next door. :-)

I couldn't quite tell what it was, but someone on the other thread said they could hear the long "a" phoneme in the first syllable.

Maybe an audio engineer skilled in filtering can clean up the sound and isolate those voices. But, it's certainly not the chorus repeated 15 times, as claimed by Lewis.

Of course it is. But the MSM has fallen for it.

If I had to guess it's ACORN getting back for the pimping they got, with John Lewis staffers in charge.

This is why Rush Limbaugh used to refer to them as “The Drive-By Media”. (I believe the more relevant description currently is “The State-Controlled Media”)

“Drive-By Media” is an apt description. They approach a situation like this, throw a accusatory “grenade” into the crowd, then drive off to the next story.

They aren’t interested in whether or not these slanders are true. It is the accusation that is important. So, nobody on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NYT, WaPo, LAT etc. is EVER going to circle back and even consider a correction or retraction, not even a one-liner smack dab in the middle of page 18.
