What Are The Facts Really?
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 02:03 PM by SargeUNN
This is from http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/04/13/20100413n-word-feud-health-protest.html which states that the video of events that happened were false. I was wondering if this can be refuted and would appreciate your help in doing so.

So you will know: I am looking for hard evidence so I can call the Arizona Republic Paper and present them with real facts and challenge them. Please help me with this. Thanks

1. The video was from the wrong time, doesn't refute claims of slurs...
who do you believe? A bunch of nut jobs who believe that Obama is a Muslim sleeper, or a group of Congressmen who have a track record of honesty?

2. What I believe isn't the point, it is proof I need
I edited the post to explain why I am asking this. I want to call the Arizona Republic Paper on this one and even invite the writer on my radio show to show that writer isn't worthy of reporting anything. The Republic is the largest paper here in AZ and since our so called progressive radio station here is a joke, I am hoping to at least call out this garbage.

5. If there was tape we would have seen it already, but
you could show them these:













And ask just how hard is it to imagine that some of the tea baggers might have some race issues...

4. Yeah I know however
when I was on KPHX during Nova M days I did get one of them to come on my show and called their hand. I am not broadcast on a station here since our local progressive station is nothing more than an ego trip for the one who runs it, but to let them know Jeff and I can still cause them a headache is something.

6. The journalist is right and you are wrong
He does not say that the claims of racial and sexual epithets are false.

He says that the video pointed to by conservatives as evidence that they are false is misleading because it does not depict the time period in question.

But the 48-second video was shot as the group was leaving the Capitol - at least one hour after Lewis, D-Ga., and Carson walked to the Capitol, which is when they said the slurs were used.

Questioned about using a video on his Web site from the wrong moment, Breitbart stood by his claim that the lawmakers were lying.


The report does not endorse Breitbart's claims. In fact, it undermines them. I can only suggest that you read it again, more carefully.
