No More Beer Summits: Tea Party ‘N-Word’ Incident Didn’t Happen, Congr. Black Caucus Owes Apology
Big Government ^ | 4/26/2010 | Andrew Breitbart

Posted on 04/27/2010 12:55:40 PM PDT by mojito

Rep. Andre Carson wants to change the subject. I don’t blame him.

On April 13, 2010 he told AP reporter Jesse Washington, “I think we need to move toward a dialogue that explores why this kind of divisive and reprehensible language is still making it into our political debate.”

The “divisive and reprehensible language” that Rep. Carson is referring to is his claim that while he left the Cannon office building on March 20 with Rep. John Lewis, they were verbally assaulted by health care protesters hurling the “N-word” at them. He said the scene was so hostile he “expected rocks to come” when he was coming out of Cannon.

I wanted to see the evidence. I wanted the truth. In the course of our search we have actually uncovered further video evidence that casts serious doubt on Rep.Carson’s claims:

[....]

It’s not just that Congressmen Carson’s accusation of an extraordinary racist verbal assault by the tea party participants on March 20 doesn’t appear to have occurred, it’s that the accusers have now gone into the bunker and, having raised the incendiary subject, are doing everything they can to avoid the discussion. Why? What’s changed?

When the accusation was made, the mainstream media made it the number one topic on every news show. The Democratic Party was leading the discussion. But when confronted on the baseless accusation, without even a modicum of evidence that it actually happened, other than an assertion, the Democratic Party, and its symbiotic allies the mainstream media, want to have another “beer summit.”

No. The Democratic Party and the political left cannot use the race card to shut up its opponents based upon pure fabrication any longer.

They lie...hurl accusations...then walk away. They answer for none of it. This is sickening.

These liberal Dems are like the Hizbollah terrorists who fire missiles at their enemy, then 'bunker down', not wanting a direct confrontation.

The value of such tactics lies in the fact that their constituencies don't care if the charges are worthless, and the MSM ('symbiotic allies' as Breitbart calls them) won't investigate. But the temporary fear and indignity, the phony moral finger pointing and posturing, keeps their voters in line.

IOW, 'fake but true'. (I am NOT lol anymore.)

Plenty of “journalists”, especially on MSNBC and CNN, are still claiming this happened. There really need to be penalties for repeating known lies and calling them “news”.

Didn’t Dan Rather tell a lie? Isn’t this what should happen?

Mark Levine on Fox today at lunchtime repeated that Lewis was called the N word and Gallager never asked him to prove the issue. Is there any tangible proof this ever happened? Who has it? Levine says there is recorded proof..why hasn't it been broadcast? Does anyone know?

Is it possible to have a class-action libel suit?

If they said it in committee or on the floor of the House, they are totally, constitutionally protected and can slander their butts off if they want to.

Breitbart has new video at the link, as well as a good synopsis of the alleged incident.

There were no racist taunts and no physical intimidation of the congressmen. They fabricated the story for a reporter in order to discredit the protesters, knowing full well that the MSM would lead with it.

Mark Levine is no relation whatsoever to Mark Levin from the radio. This Mark Levine is a round mouth Democrat that shills for the left at every turn (the round mouth Democrat gets that way from performing upon the other male Democrats). Today’s performance was one that he quoted all of the lefts so called proof and yet there is not one iota of proof in the MSM.
