I have already expressed my skepticism that “tea partiers,” protesting the government takeover of healthcare, actually used the N-word on African-American congress critters.
And now Andrew Breitbart shows that it looks less and less likely that it really happened, though it seems the Black Caucus members tried mightily to provoke an incident they could cry over.
I wonder what would have happened if the tea-partiers had marched through South LA carrying signs denouncing Obama-care and and video cameras to record their treatment by the community? Because that’s about the level of provocation these congress-critters provided (apparently unsuccessfully) in an attempt to get the tea-partiers to react on film… as if the congress-critters just couldn’t find another way to get where they wanted to go.
“Gosh! Did I just happen to march through the middle of your demonstration? I’m SO sorry. I just didn’t see you until it was too late.”
Sure.

The article I read on that story mentioned Andrew Brietbart in an intersting way: “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.”
Now a conservative must prove their innocence when accused by a liberal. Presumed innocence is no more.
