There's more that I'm sure others have out there.

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.

Crickets.
I do think Tea Party events need to be self monitored more so than other groups. It would be too easy for a plant to show up and yell then split. The damage will be done because the media is all about taking the one instance and making it a headline.
Now if you could catch someone in the act, expose him or her as a plant, trace them back to their source, then the whole thing would backfire in a big way.
It’s okay for generalizations to be made as long as it involves some type of conservative function. The left and Obama require an enemy or something to fire up the sheeple bacause they can’t argue their beliefs on merit alone.
He is a good man . Where are the rest of the people like him in the news business?
But haven’t they heard? Congressman Andre Carson heard the n word fifteen times. He counted them.
The lie has spread to the foreign media. I believe this is the real target since most Americans know the truth. Are the international cooks setting us up for an excuse to send in blue helmets if we have unrest?
Breitbart’s quite a media genius. I wish him well, there are only a few with any backbone.
You have to at ONCE, get off DEFENSIVE, get off the ropes, and go into OFFENSIVE mode. 新高山登れ、トラ！トラ！トラ！ Climb Mt. Niitake. Tora! Tora! Tora!
And proceed to pound the sh*t out of them, refashion the debate in their terms and change/hijack/control the "narrative" from the Libs.
Right now the narrative (or rather "set-up") is that "Right Wingers who are racists were ugly in their attacks on black congressmen who were only trying to help the American people so therefore (as in Mark Furman's "N" word), the whole rational, intellectual debate is moot, and the fait d'accompli is that the entitlement side should win by default due to injustice suffered." Do they REALLy think we are THAT stupid!!?? My foot!
Historic Bullcrap City!
The narrative needs to be: "Democrats planted people in Tea Party crowds to cause trouble as mini-Reichstag Fire set-ups, and sent them out to attack Democrat offices and blame it on Conservatives, and furthermore made charges in public which cannot be backed up by any eyewitnesses or videotape, therefore show their desperation and also give more creedence as to why their side is IMMORAL and their legislation and assertions should be repudiated."
There. Fixed it.
NEW NARRATIVE.
It's not violence when THEY do it...(/sarc)
“As Michael Moynihan pointed out earlier this week, the anecdote has been presented as fact all over the journalism world.”
Which leads one to conclude about the journalism world, that they’re not really journalists. Journalists report FACTS. These people are partisan wonks, propagandists of the lowest common denominator.
I really hope somehow this Alinsky plan is exposed...
Really need to get people to start asking...Who is Alinsky?
what does he have to do with the President....I know because I have been watching GB....but how can we get the question out there?
Yup, that's what my husband and I believe... we were there on Saturday (and Sunday). There were members of the Capitol Police escorting the congressmen (who did not have to be in the middle of the Tea Party crowd... they could have used the underground tunnels like all the other members of Congress did). Plus, as the article states, members of Rep. Lewis' entourage were filming everything - using two cameras. So let's see their film.
Before this "incident" allegedly took place, one of the Capitol policemen told my husband that they had spotted a few "professional agitators" trying to blend in with the Tea Party crowd at one point.
The whole non-incident is a big LIE, cooked up by the democRATs... probably by Rahm Emanuel or David Axelrod. The congressmen purposely walked through a "hostile" crowd, trying to provoke a reaction - didn't get one - so they made up a story, and their fellow 'RAT Congressmen and the MSM backed them up and spread the word.

It’s time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.
And surely if those cameras did not capture such abhorrence, then someone from the mainstream media — those who printed and broadcast his assertions without any reasonable questioning or investigation — must themselves surely have it on camera. Of course we already know they don’t. If they did, you’d have seen it by now.
THOUSANDS OF TIMES.
Silly safe bet because it never happened. How about a prize for the Birth Cert? Another safe prize that will never have to be paid-out.
Andrew, you magnificent warrior, don’t ever change!
If only we had a dollar for every smear by the left.
God bless you.
I say "hold! ... hold! ... hold!"
