This is what it has come to. In this news column from the AP on the Tea Party rally in Harry Reids hometown of Searchlight, Nev., yesterday, the AP puts the burden of proof on Andrew Breitbart to prove that no one yelled the N-word at the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington last Sunday:
Conservative columnist Andrew Breitbart disputed accounts that tea party activists in Washington shouted racial epithets at black members of Congress amid the health care debate, although he didn't provide any evidence.
AP, prove to me that you are not an agitprop arm of the DNC!..............
Dear AP,
Innocent until proven guilty.
Respectfully,
Tea Party Patriot
Somebody always thinks they have an answer!
Uh, the fact that there is no evidence?
With this charge, the AP admits as much.
yes
Obama,the black congressional caucus and the media have set back race relations 50 years.
The more the push the racism issue at anyone who disagrees with their policies, the uglier the situation will become.
BB should have said right back, well why dont you prove that the AP isn’t racist. Kind of a childish statement AP made.
Working from dnc playbook.
“Conservative columnist Andrew Breitbart disputed accounts that tea party activists in Washington shouted racial epithets at black members of Congress amid the health care debate, although he didn’t provide any evidence.”
Are they really this idiotic or do they just assume that their readers are?
Didn’t this tactic start with Bush and the “Prove to us that you were at National Guard training on the weekend of such and such?” Damn I hate these people.
Both, I imagine.
How about AP demand that Democrats prove they are’nt racist? Methinks support for racial quotas doesn’t argue much in their favor.
Even if racial slurs were shouted at Black members of congress, how can they prove they were shouted by conservative tea party members. It’s a well-known tactic of Chicago politics going back to Hizzoner Richard M. Daley’s time to put plants in the crowd to stir up trouble. The slurs, if there were any, could easily have been manufactured by liberals to attempt to discredit the tea-partiers!
Classic.
How about the VIDEO THAT WE HAVE ALL SEEN.
Play that for them as it IS evidence that no N*word was used. This is a new media event. Normally lies like this make the news and everyone believes them. Now... there’s video. Cell phones and mini-cams. So we have the video showing the claims are b.s. and that is proof, right?
ME to the AP ................... THE BURDEN OF PROOF HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE ACCUSER !!!
The AP would have to go a long way to prove to me they are not pro-communist anti-American traitors.
Maybe they are afraid of being caught and exposed?
Anyone shouting out racial crap at a rally should be surrounded, encouraged to turn over a photo ID. Take a picture of it and then have them escorted from the premises.
oblah blah, through his minions in the media, appears to be trying to start a race war. I was ten feet away from the supposed incident in D.C. No spitting observed. No name calling.
Lot of “Kill the Bill” chants and booing....but that’s it.
I told my friends after the election, “Any criticism of this POTUS will be deemed racist.” They all disagreed with me. Sadly, I have been proven correct.
