A Frank Rich Apology? Far Left Crank Admits There's No Evidence of Black Caucus Attack

Leading Crank Admits There’s No Proof of Racist Black Caucus Attack–
Three weeks ago, the conscience of American liberalism, Frank Rich, compared the tea party protesters outside the US Capital to a small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht for reportedly spitting on and flinging the n-word 15 times at members of the Black Caucus.
Well, much has changed since that column was published. We now have seen over half a dozen videos of the event in question and unfortunately for the liberal fabricators no racist hate speech came from the crowd. Congressman Cleaver has since retracted his story that he was spit on. Rep. Heath Shuler changed his story, too. He now says it wasn’t the n-word he heard, it was fagg*t.
And, Andrew Breitbart is still holding onto that $100,000 reward for proof of an attack.
This forced Frank Rich to change his description of the incident in this week’s column.
The New York Times reported:
It’s kind of like that legendary stunt on the prime-time soap “Dallas,” where we learned that nothing bad had really happened because the previous season’s episodes were all a dream. We now know that the wave of anger that crashed on the Capitol as the health care bill passed last month — the death threats and epithets hurled at members of Congress — was also a mirage.
Take it from the louder voices on the right. Because no tape has surfaced of anyone yelling racial slurs at the civil rights icon and Georgia Congressman John Lewis, it’s now a blogosphere “fact” that Lewis is a liar and the “lamestream media” concocted the entire incident. The same camp maintains as well that the spit landing on the Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver was inadvertent spillover saliva from an over-frothing screamer — spittle, not spit, as it were. True, there is video evidence of the homophobic venom directed at Barney Frank — but, hey, Frank is white, so no racism there!
So, will the far left crank apologize now for comparing the tea party protesters to the Nazi Kristallnacht killers?
Don’t hold your breath.

In this same column Rich refers to black Republicans as “tokens.” What a slimeball.

Nothing surprises me anymore with regard to the MSM and the BO administration. Especially when you see who BO’s adviser is now.

I believe there is also video evidence of hetro-phobic vemon spewing from Bawney Fwank.

Frank Rich: an apparatchik and a pig.

What kind of piece of crap article was that.
Stuart commented:
I hereby charge Frank Rich with the crime of failing to believe a congressman of the CBC.
Frank is obviously a racist now too. Frank must now genuflect before a portrait of the Anointed One and say twenty hail Jessie Jacksons.
Remember:
No one expects the American Inquisition… Well actually we do.

So now, we’re to pardon a “legendary stunt” of Democrat leaders lying about rampant racism and spitting? Oh, those Black Caucus Dem leaders are such imps, such rascals, such scalawags… maybe Aunt Polly will chuckle and make them whitewash the fence as penance for their shenanigans. Er, am I allowed to use the word “whitewash,” or is that also now racist? Hard to keep track… need to study my MSM/NYT “Racism 101″ handbook.

Oh, for heaven’s sake.
Any Dem — in the most benign circumstances — knows, if he’s within 10 feet of Cwissy Matthews, he’ll find himself dripping in “inadvertent spillover saliva.”
I’m sure they pack extra Kleenex if they know he’ll be around.
And Frank Rich wants us to think, in this venue, such a thing was an impossibility…

No, it was not a mirage. It was a LIE. Big difference.

Being a Frothing Liberal means never having to say you’re sorry. Or that you might have misunderstood something. Or that you jumped the gun in your assumptions of Evil Intent by the Satanic Forces of Conservatism. Or admit there are raging loonies, liars, and race hustlers on your own side. Or… anything.
ReformedLiberal commented:
Um, no offense intended, but Rich is being totally facetious. Take it from me, as I am a reformed “them”.
Kristen commented:
Yeah I read that whole thing as being facetious. Just the tone is one of being a smart a$$.
Scott commented:
Fat Frank smeared a huge segment of the population as racists and bigots, with no evidence they are racists and bigots. After weeks of no video or audio evidence emerging to corroborate his ridiculous claims, his response is to pen a column dripping in sarcasm. You really think he’s going to apologize for smearing people with no evidence? Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s hilarious. He’s a bigger race hustler than Sharpton and Jackson, combined.

Yep. Guess if I wrote for the NYSlimes I’d try to keep up the “jocularity” level in my pieces too seein’ as how that bankrupt rag may not even make payroll someday soon.
Anyone paying any attention at all to anything from anything these people publish other than to ridicule them as done here should get more of their information elsewhere.
