It is becoming increasingly apparent that Democratic claims that racial epithets were hurled at black congressmen during the Washington D.C. "Tea Party" protest on the day of the healthcare reform vote are FALSE and were made up out of whole cloth.

Andrew Breitbart has the story at his Big Government.com Web site.

Watch the video.

Mary Ellen Jones, a member of the Delaware County Patriots, was there that day and heard ZERO racial epithats shouted or even whispered by her fellow protesters. She did hear someone yell "Faggot" at Rep. Barney Frank but the shouter was quickly confronted by other protesters and told to shove a sock in.

What is also becoming clear is that Democrat leaders in the House hoped to provoke the protesters into shouting something stupid by having black congressmen walk through the crowd with recording equipment. When their plan failed they simply made up having heard the shouting of the N-word.

This is about as low as it gets. But it could sink even lower.

Democratic activists have attempted to recruit fellow progressives to infiltrate Tea Party groups and act like the sort of idiots they have stereotyped them to be.

I, for one, will be quite skeptical if a protester is caught on tape shouting racial slurs.

Not that it couldn't happen. Not that there aren't a few racist nutjobs on the right. But because of the left's willingness to do just about anything to discredit a popular movement that they find threatening to their political power and interests.

In the meantime, the failure of the Congressional Black Caucus to back up the claims of their members, and the fact that those congressman have expressed a desire to "move on" from the controversy makes all the more clear, lies were told to the media. And the media swallowed them, vomiting them up but to a less and less gullible public.
