AP Can't Find Evidence of N-Word Use; Blames Tea Partiers for Posting 'Mislabeled' Video
NewsBusters ^ | April 13, 2010 | P.J. Gladnick

Aha! ...Aha! Aha! Aha!

Associated Press writer Jesse Washington has investigated the March 20 incident in Washington, D.C. at which members of the Tea Party supposedly hurled the N-word at black Congressmen. Well, no recording of that word being used could be found but that hasn't stopped Washington from blaming the Tea Partiers...for posting the "wrong" video of that incident on YouTube. I kid you not:

Three Democratic congressmen — all black — say they heard racial slurs as they walked through thousands of angry protesters outside the U.S. Capitol. A white lawmaker says he heard the epithets too. Conservative activists say the lawmakers are lying.

What does the video show? Not much. Indeed, new interviews show that a much-viewed YouTube recording cited as evidence by conservatives was actually shot well after the time in question.

...A reconstruction of the events shows that the conservative challenges largely sprang from a mislabeled video that was shot later in the day.

That’s a wonderful idea. Put the media whores under the same microscope they put everyone else.

Film anybody who carries a racist sign or yells racist insults, and then immediately post their picture on the internet.

We'll find out their real names and real political affiliations quick enough.

The SEIU thugs will be the easiest to identify, with their apelike elongated arms and protruding squishy foreheads.

Gerrymandering.

Who decides on these crazy districts? STATES.

So if We The People want the districts to be FAIR to the Voters, why do we not petition our States to draw up districts that are cohesive and not meandering all over the place?

“after the time in question”

if they refer to the video, it can’t be after the fact because the politicians who are complaining are seen walking along in the video.

“or read a history of the Democrat Party.”

remember the KKK was a Democratic Party entity formed after the war to protest Abraham Lincoln's (Republican)reconstruction programs.

The paramilitary, terrorist wing, as it were.

And I don’t understand why Democrats compound the damage by calling themselves “progressives,” given the ties between that movement, eugenics, and the Klan.

Maybe they’re trying to tell us something about their racial views after all.
