Did you hear about this? Breitbart is offering 10K donation if it can be proven that the
N word was used Saturday....

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.

They're getting pretty desperate - they know there is no way it got taped....15 times.

5. Is that $1,000 or $10.00?
$10,00 is just confusing to Americans, our decimal system doesn't work like that. :D

6. Ooops...Yeah, I left out a zero in there
But on second though, I'll revise my comma to a decimal point.

4. Like they provided video of oreo cookies being thrown at Michael Steele?
Oh, wait. The big liars are the first to accuse others of lying. Rep. Lewis' word is good, he'd never lie about something like this, he's too dignified.

7. Why would you think he would lie?

Anyone that would post that trash on this Progressive Board must be doing it for a reason -- got it!

8. The Steele oreo cookie story turned out to be exaggerated
http://www.wtop.com/index.php?nid=428&sid=622881

My point in mentioning it is that the right-wing has been caught lying about racism before and Breitbart or none of the other wingnuts had any complaints about that, but as soon as Democrat comes out with a real claim of racism, it's considered a lie.

9. Wouldn't surprise me if it is a tea bagger that claims the 10,000k
I'd bet some of those baggers in the crowd were proudly videotaping their fellow tea baggers with their cell phones, as they were chanting the "N" word, to show their friends/family back home how they "really stuck it to the black congressional bastards."

And times are tight - so why not out your fellow teabagger whose image you have on your cell phone shouting "N" and bag $10,000? I bet there will be a bunch of them checking their cell phone video at home tonight, as eagerly as they scratch off their lottery tickets weekly, to see if they have hit a jackpot.

11. Weren't there DC police escorting them?
I thought I heard one report that the DC police asked Lewis and his entourage if they wanted to press charges but they declined ... if so, can't the DC police issue a statement?

12. Can Breitbart prove to us that he has stopped beating his wife?
Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 01:24 PM by Cali_Democrat
I will offer $10,000 to anyone that can come forward with evidence that Breitbart has stopped beating his wife. It's time for Breitbart to put up or shut up.

16. Oh they are so pathetic
They think that just because they lie to gain political points, everyone else does too. Be careful what you ask for Breitbart, you just might get it.
