Racist Payoff

This is just really pathetic. Once again, C-List conservative blogger La Shawn Barber uses her temporary duties over at Malkin's corner of the internet to use racial tensions to attack liberal/progressives. She, like most of the Right this week, are claiming that there is absolutely no proof at all that there were racial epithets used at the recent Tea Bagger shout-fest in DC.

Nothing shuts down the debate like relaying third-hand stories about some conservative calling somebody a ni**er. Accuse now, ask questions later.

But this is where her piece takes a turn into conservative idiocy.

You’ve read the news stories. According to reports, Tea Party protestors called Congressman John Lewis a ni**er last weekend as he and other lawmakers walked through the crowd. Is it true? Has the allegation been corroborated? Andrew Breitbart is offering a cash reward for proof.

And he’s upped the ante.

Breitbart’s offered to donate $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund for proof that someone used the epithet. I wonder if UNCF would accept the cash.

Because we all know that paying off blacks in America makes it ok to use the N-Bomb.

Seriously, are we supposed to take Barber and Brietbart seriously?

Why doesn't he just contribute to the UNCF already?

The bottom line is that there will never be enough conclusive proof for people like La Shawn Barber or Andrew Brietbart. Their "proof" is that since no Tea Bagger will come forward and claim they heard anyone called a n****er that THAT is the penultimate signifier that there is no racial animus within the conservative movement.
