Associated Press Demands That Tea Party Prove It Didn't Say Something

James Clyburn claims that Tea Party protesters called him a "nigger." The press was there. The reporters didn't hear it. Their microphones didn't record it. No evidence was recorded on their cameras. But rather than believe the evidence of their own senses or what was recorded on their own equipment, they believed a man who has a long record of making gratuitous accusations of racism. And now, they demand that Andrew Breitbart "prove" that nobody said what no one has any evidence of anyone saying.

“Conservative columnist Andrew Breitbart disputed accounts that tea party activists in Washington shouted racial epithets at black members of Congress amid the health care debate, although he didn’t provide any evidence.” – AP, 12/27/10
