Report: Breitbart used 'wrong video' to claim Dem lawmakers lied about racial slurs
For weeks, an argument has been raging between liberal and conservative commentators over whether or not Tea Party protesters yelled racist and homophobic slurs at Democratic lawmakers on the day the House passed the health care overhaul.
During a March 20 anti-health reform Tea Party protest at Capitol Hill, numerous Democratic lawmakers said they had been the targets of abusive language.
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), an openly gay member of the House, said he had been called a "fa**ot." Three black members of Congress -- Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) and civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) -- said they had been called "ni**er," and that the epithet had been hurled at them some 15 times as they arrived at the House of Representatives for a meeting.
Stung by such potent linking of the Tea Party movement to racism and homophobia, conservative pundits began to fire back. At the head of the pack was Matt Drudge ally Andrew Breitbart, who asserted that the incidents never happened and offered $10,000 for video footage proving otherwise. He has since increased his offer to $100,000.

The incident was witnessed 4 companions. - Aaand, in the absence of video....
[ In Reply To ..]you guys can't prove that it did not happen, can you?
And you can't prove that it did....In any court, you have to prove your case!!! - nm

I have a tendency to err on the side of 4 eye witnesses, - especially in light of the
[ In Reply To ..]abundance of evidence that racism is alive and well in the overwhelmingly white tpot ranks.
Courts have been known to lend credence to multiple eyewitness accounts as well, since preponderance of the evidence and reasonable doubt serve as their fundamental ground rules. In this case, reasonable doubt about the tpot denials would tend to be bolstered somewhat by the manufactured FALSE evidence (i.e., lying video) that was concocted as a defense.
I believe you mean racism is alive and well in the black - "give me some more freebies" ranks?

And there you have it.....you are proof of all the racism that spurs - Obama on!

Trump will certainly take the popular vote by a significant margin. If he still loses in the electoral college, an extremely angry citizenry will demand that the antiquated and obsolete i ...
History: If No Last-minute Dem Shenanigan, R Wins And O Loses.Sep 20, 2012
Since Truman, no incumbent has been reelected with a poll number below 49% at this point in the election cycle. I am omitting Bush 2, who had 48% but whose reelection ultimately had to be decided by the courts so I think you have to simply toss this election out when looking at voter trends. As a general rule, undecideds almost always break away from the incumbent, and they will surely do so in the current environment - both globally, domestically and economically - in all of which areas ...
