Prove a Health Care Protester Used the N-Word, Win $10,000
If you listened to Democrats such as John Lewis and James Clyburn, along with many “uninquisitive-even-for-them” members of the mainstream media, the protests at the US Capitol over the weekend were fraught with Obamacare protesters slinging racial slurs.
The allegations were terrible, and those putting them forth them seemed horrified. Something Lewis and Clyburn had going in their favor, at least from my perspective, was benefit of the doubt. I mean, these are men who proudly serve in the political party that is fully open, accepting and comfortable with the idea of a former member of the Ku Klux Klan being third in line to the presidency — a level of inclusiveness the GOP is not yet progressive enough to embrace — so their tolerance level is clearly high. However, every man has his partisan breaking point, even if it may or may not be fictional.
There’s only one problem with these racial slur claims: Nobody has been able to prove any of it ever happened, not that it’s stopping the media from continuing to report the stories as fact based on nothing but hearsay and tea partier stereotypes (gross generalizations are still in vogue when applied to the “right” people).
Andrew Breitbart has had enough, and is putting his money where tea partiers mouths aren’t:
If we let them get away with Saturday’s stunt — using the imagery of the Civil Rights era and hurtful lies to cast aspersions upon the tea party whole — then they really will have won the day.
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.
Rep. Lewis, if you can’t do that, I’ll give him a backup plan: a lie detector test. If you provide verifiable video evidence showing that a single racist epithet was hurled as you walked among the tea partiers, or you pass a simple lie detector test, I will provide a $10K check to the United Negro College Fund.
Breitbart’s post at Big Government also contains a wide array of video from the weekend, all containing nary a slur.
That shouldn’t stop the more enterprising among us though. Look for somebody to go full-blown Capricorn One on this. Organizing for America has probably already rented the same sound stage in Arizona where Nixon had the moon landing faked and is re-creating the protest as we speak, complete with a liberal amount of the words that weren’t used over the weekend.
This just in: A Democratic operative who was circulating under deep cover amongst the Obamacare protesters over the weekend has just submitted to Breitbart this video that he claims was recorded on Sunday, and he is anxiously awaiting his $10,000 reward. I for one am skeptical of the authenticity.

Surprised you got one response. Don’t think there will be a lot of takers.
Someone should do a comparative video between the Tea Party protestors, the mob outside of the university of Ottawa, the mob at the G20, old fottage of Bill Ayers, random comments about Bush, and the NBPP thugs in front of the polling place in Phili.
M/M your video link made me laugh until I cried! Love that scene.
Doing the heavy-lifting so the left-liberal media doesn’t have too . . .
I’m certain Kathleen Parker believes it (remember “Kill him”?). I’m equally certain most of the commentators at the NRO believe it. They believe David Brooks and David Frum are conservatives so why not? That should be all the certainty anyone needs.
Let the light shine on the truth.
Good for Breitbart. Keep their feet to the fire.
I understand Dan Rather has a tape of Tea Party protesters using the N-word. He got it from Mary Mapes.
Perhaps Dateline or Primetime could STAGE the racism for us!
One of my favorite M/M articles!

It was a joke. Click the link to the video… it was the opening scene from Blazing Saddles. I think this scene is funnier, though, and someone (was it Allahpundit? I don’t remember) said that it was actually very applicable to how Obama acted with Congressmembers, telling them if they didn’t vote for Obamacare, his Presidency would be over.
Nimnul?
No, no, it’s real, and proof of both the allegations in question and global warming. He says right there at the beginning that it’s 114, so we know it’s all true.
Meanwhile, under cover of these lies, Obama “hazes” Binyamin Netanyahu according to The Times (London). I guess disrespecting the leader of the only Democracy in the Middle East is the way he gets tough with Iran.
Always look behind the smoke and mirrors..
I think it is a waste of time to let the lefties tie us up with an allegedly spoken slur when they are destroying the USA-the two events are NOT EQUAL.
After a while -just like the attacks on Sarah Palin- it just gets old and ludicrous.
Someone is trying to collect $10k by submitting a Mel Brooks movie????
Ok, maybe I should submit my copy of “Glory”, then…? I could use $10K right now.
(This must be Michelle’s humor…its just got to be!
)
I doubt any Tea party members used racial epitaphs during their protest. The Democrats could have planted a heckler in the crowd, or the congressional representatives could have simply misheard something. But judging by the congressmen’s actions on the video and their Party’s response over the last couple of days, I have concluded that they are all simply naggers and nigglers.
I was wondering what Michael Nifong was doing these days.
If I recall correctly, wasn’t one Rep. spit on and didn’t press charges?
If so we have one substantiated incident, that is not reported on while the MSM/Dems harp on these fake incidents.
the drive-by-media had no problem replaying sean penn’s verbal slanders of Bush.
All this violence and threats against Democrats smells of a “false flag” to me. These incidents need to be investigated fully and I think you’ll find the perpetrators will be members of ACORN, or SEIU, or Code Pink, or some such. How many times have we seen this prove out? Remember the A-A college professor that hung the noose from her own office door knob? Or how about the avowed GWB hater that flew his plane into the IRS building? Turns out they weren’t “right-wingers” at all.
Hey, I for one just might have to side with the Congressmen. After all, look how “green” they are. How often do Congressmen deign to walk — WALK, I tell you — amongst the commoners? Don’t most Congresspersons usually take the private subway that connects their offices and the Capitol? But not these men. These are Men of the People. No private, global warming contributing transportation for them, No, sirree. They don’t take the easy way if that will cause the oceans to rise and harm your children.
Check out vacationing Michelle’s column today, How the Left Fakes the Hate: A Primer
When they can not win the minds of intelligent people, they change their game and play the race card.
That is their easy way out. Those who refuse to work demanding that others pay for their party.
The offer of $10,000 for a copy of a video purporting to show a Teaparty member calling out racial names is a fool’s errand.
Anyone with some common sense knew instinctively why the charge was made. The Dems have done it so often you can practically count the seconds before their charges start flying.
Instead of trying to prove something that will have no effect whatsoever, maybe the TeaPartys ought to set their sites on winning the next battles before losing the war.
The elections are coming in November but how many conservative candidates have been registered to run? Its easy to say we’ll vote the Dems out but if they don’t have an opponent, how’s that going to happen?
We have Cap N Trade coming at us with our friend and ally Lindsey Grahamnesty partnering with Kerry.
And lets not forget the push to grant illegal aliens amnesty. Again our friend and ally Grahamnesty is at the forefront.
It may be time to start thinking about Operation Wetback II. It was legal and doable in the 1950s. Why not now?
How does one defend an unreasonable position, create a diversion.
Yeah, Breitbart won’t be paying that 10K for a very long time. I was at that corner on Saturday. It didn’t happen. Plain and simple.
But there are racists in DC. It’s just that most of them are in the Deemo-crat party. Just ask Grand Kleagle of the KKK Robert Byrd. He knows them all…
As usual..Democrats have Zero facts. It is all about “Emotion” or Perceived Intent that fuels them.
Just like all the Hate Crimes on Campuses that turn out to be Democrats themselves doing it.. the Lie isn’t the point.. they only spray painted the Hate words, hung the noose or so forth, becasue it might happen.
‘…jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!’
LOL
Oh, I miss Slim Pickens.
Remember when Stupak complained when he was a “No” vote how his life was a living hell because of the terrible phone calls, name calling etc. How about we have a $100,000,000 reward for the apprehension of conservatives who made his life a living hell before he voted YES? (chirp)

I heard this on Savage yesterday. Nobody used the “n” word. If it had it would be broadcast on the media 24 hours a day. These race hustlers made it up and are no being called on it. It’s total BS and an attempt to smear the Tea Party and anyone opposed to the socialist takeover of America.
Is Nawlins still a Chocolate City? OK, good.

Now, I have seen video of Rev. Jesse Jackson deliberately provoking protesters…
but, hey, that’s nuttin…
A real man he was, hell, he bronco busted an H-bomb! Let’s see one of those mamby-pamby bikini waxed metro congress critters do that!
Doggone it Michelle! I’m half asleep and trying to figure out why I don’t see the protesters yelling. If I get any dumber I’ll have to become a liberal.
click here for a better look at the spit incident…
Via HotAir: “Via Nice Deb and Ace, who aptly characterizes this as a “Say It Don’t Spray It Class D Felony.” their terminology.”
I never thought for a minute anyone meant to spit on Cleaver.
Granite Man, you beat me! I’m glad we can counter these accusations with video.
Tiredofit08… sorry you are the one who beat me. Never mind granite… time for more java.
Glenn Beck, on his show this morning, said that there are news reports that at least one of the “brick through Representative’s window” was false and the local press finally realized they should check the story out because the office the window that allegedly had a brick thrown through it is on an upper floor of a multi-story building. If anyone knows where this story is please post a link here!
Funny Tea party does it (that is if the did) and everyones panties are in a twist, a polition says he needs to control us *crickets* a Black house Rep says bad stuff on anyone not black (a Woman from CA we all know who) and Crickets. Ahh American Media I know I can trust you.
Rogue–the scene in ’1941′ where he pretends to poop out the cracker-jack compass in the Japanese submarine’s head.
Priceless…
“Stand back or the n……r gets it” That Mel Brooks, what a racist. “The j*g is up” another Mel racist rant. Too bad comedy isn’t exempt from political correctness, things would be a lot funnier again. “Who’s the head ubangi in this here tribe? You can’t talk to us like that sir. Well I got 5 dollars for the head ubangi of this here tribe. Oh sir, that be me!” WC Fields and Rochester.
Well these people lie about everything and all the time; if it is Steny Hoyer, John Lewis and James Clyburn, Pelosi, Reid or any other moving their lips you know they are lying. If these people were not in government they would be on the street corner playing three card Monte or making Made for TV promotions.
I am not sure about our response to every fire these lying pimps start. Our goal must be to eliminate the power of the Left-indeed the elimination of the Left itself. Either that or they eliminate us as per President Obama’s New Daddy William Ayres.
We are off to Dingy Harry’s hometown of Searchlight, Nevada for the Tea Party Express. Wish us well.
I didn’t know this but Slim was also considered for the Scatman Crothers role in ‘The Shining’.
Pickens’ most famous role was as B-52 pilot Major T. J. “King” Kong in Dr. Strangelove. Stanley Kubrick cast Pickens after his first choice for the role of Major Kong, Peter Sellers, sprained his ankle and was unable to perform. Pickens was chosen because his accent and comic sense were perfect for the role of Kong, a cartoonishly patriotic and gung-ho B-52 commander. Pickens was not told that the movie was a black comedy, but was instructed to play the role straight.[citation needed] He was also not given the script to the entire film, but only those portions in which he played a part. Pickens is best remembered for three scenes:[citation needed]
Slim Pickens as Major “King” Kong riding a nuclear bomb to oblivion in Dr. Strangelove.A jingoistic monologue meant to steel the crew for their duty after he receives the definitive inflight order to bomb a strategic target in the USSR.
Reading aloud to his crew the contents of their survival kits (possibly the first mention of condoms in a Hollywood film). After listing the contents usable for barter with Russian women (prophylactics, nylons, lipstick, etc.), Major Kong said, “Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good time in Dallas with all this stuff.” This line had to be looped (“Dallas” changed to “Vegas”) after the November 22, 1963 screening for critics was canceled due to JFK’s assassination.
Best known of all, Pickens riding a dropped H-bomb to a certain death, whooping and waving his cowboy hat (in the manner of a rodeo performer bronc riding or bull riding), not knowing its detonation will trigger a Russian doomsday device.
Pickens credited Dr. Strangelove as a turning point in his career. Previously he was “Hey you” on sets and afterward he was addressed as “Mr. Pickens.” “After Dr. Strangelove the roles, the dressing rooms, and the checks all started gettin’ bigger.” Pickens said he was amazed at the difference a single movie could make.[1]
Well. I still prefer him dropping down on the screaming Japanese soldiers from the ceiling on the submarine…LOL
Is this the story you mean?
Re: the rock throwing incident, there’s additional info in the comments.
Hey, AZ ; GIVE ‘EM HELL IN SEARCHLIGHT! and safe trip goin’ and comin’.
