A Couple Questions for Rep. Andre Carson
by Larry O'ConnorOn Tuesday, July 21, Rep. Andre Carson released the following statement to CNN’s John King:
“The incident on March 20th happened as I’ve described. It has been reported by numerous media outlets because it is a fact. Andrew Breitbart has tried everything possible to try and rewrite history related to the events of that day—including citing as proof a video that was shot a full hour after the incident happened.
I’ve refused to engage him in some tit-for-tat because he has zero credibility on this issue. He wasn’t even on the Hill the day the incident happened.
If he wants to spend his time inciting people and defending language and actions that the overwhelming majority of Americans find reprehensible, then that’s his prerogative. But it’s not doing this nation—or the Tea Party movement–any favors.”
It’s fascinating that the congressman would lend his advice to the Tea Party movement considering he once referred to them as “one of the largest threats to our internal security“. I would venture to guess that if it comes time to take advice from Rep. Carson or from Andrew Breitbart, the majority of Tea Party members might be inclined to follow Breitbart’s lead.
That being said, we are thrilled that Rep. Carson has finally come out of self-imposed seclusion and addressed (though disingenuously) the events of March 20th.
We’d like to clear a few misconceptions the good congressman has about our aquisition of video over the months. We have much more than the one video you refer to. We now have five videos, from different angles, showing the exact time and place the supposed incident took place.
Here, take a look:
Yes, Rep Carson, since you decided to venture into this discussion with your statemnt to John King, wouldn’t it be fitting to sit with us on Mr. King’s show and discuss this incident, the videos, the audio and the contradictions with Rep. Cleaver’s story? If it is truly your intention to help the Tea Party movement, won’t you please help us identify the odious individuals who affected you so deeply that day on the mall?
We’re ready to have the frank and open discussion about this incident. We do not understand why you don’t want to talk about it? Let Mr. King be the moderator and let’s finally, once and for all, put this issue to bed.
We’ll be sending a request to Mr King and his producers. Maybe they can help get this conversation moving.

Rep. Carson, and other race hustlers, understands that as we diminish the word racism as a weapon, the gravy train may come to an end. Once a race baiter, always a race baiter… just remember to point, and laugh!
No one believes you Andre. There is no record of your side of story either or someone would come forward and collect the money. Let us hope that next election your constituents will vote NO to you.
Funny
Went to school with a girl who had been a cheerleader at your High School (Pgh area?) MANY years ago. Are they still called the Beaveretts?
no point talking to close minded people. Some experts are analyzing the video and slicing the voice stream.. there is surely someone blurting at 0:36 and 0:38 a word twice and it sounds very likely…
It really must be awful to be a liberal and have to lie all of the time.
Nowadays, in a court of law eyewitness testimony such as what a person saw or heard happen during a crime doesn't hold near the water it once did. Forensic evidence is still freeing many who were convicted based on eyewitness testimony. Now in this case, AB, has the forensics. He has the audio and the video of the non-crime.
Maybe they've told the lie so often that they believe it to be true. I doubt it. The DNA evidence shows Mr. Carson to be mistaken.
And now EXPOSED…….
Were not the Libs organizing and infiltrating the Tea Partiers with offensive signs in order to make the Tea Party "LOOK" Racists ?
They wanted to RUB YOUR NOSES IN IT!
anyone who disagrees with you is a reactionary leftist – what kind of an argument is that?
I am an independent and use my brains
Good comeback! You can't refute me. Very nice!
Angry? You haven't seen us angry yet.
Pray that you don't.
I think for libs it becomes like breathing. They speak and nothing but bullshit comes out.
Prove the charge. Get you're "sound engineer" buddy to filter out the background noise, pull out the person shouting the "n" word and forward it to Breitbart.
You realize, do you not, that you and your pal can split $100,000?
Yeah, I thought not.
Proof positive that you DON'T use your brain.
It's who they are. It's what they do. It's how they live.
I don't care about the money – it is about integrity and principle. Believe me some of the world's best are working on it
It's because of Andrew Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others that the dems can't hide behind their lies and are facing a major turnover in Nov. Carson and his fellow dems would love nothing more than to shut down Conservative blogs, TV and radio shows. If they can't do that, then they will attempt to marginalize them, which is what I think is going on here and what I think we'll see more of the closer we get to Nov. The dems are scared, and when dems get scared, they bare their teeth, snarl, and come out fighting and will use any and all means available to them in an attempt to turn the tide in their favor.
I don't care about the money – "
Riggggghhhhhht.
"it is about integrity and principle."
Riggggghhhhhht.
"Believe me some of the world's best are working on it"
Riggggghhhhhht.
Oh, never mind, I call bullshit.
This is analagous with the college girls who cry, "rape," after they decide the sex they had really wasn't that great. When it really happens, it is diminished. Don't the blacks understand that only a VERY FEW fringe people even care about race anymore. Didn't we elect a black man? What about Colin and Condi? I'm so sick of it already!
Good point!
And I pray come November, pulling that voting lever will be the same as spraying the BIG can of Raid
This right here is the mainstay of our beliefs…P2O has nailed it perfectly- I applaud you for phrasing it so succinctly, and bless and thank you for your service.
Can't you picture their irritation at how they did not get the reactions they so desperately were striving for? LOL
I remember laughing myself into fits at that "gavel"…I looked at my husband and said "dang, where did she dig that up, from an old Donkey Kong game?" Looking for all the world like children playing dress up….sadly, they run our government <sigh>
Because they don't know when to stop when they think they're ahead- they have no sense of when enough is enough…if some is good, then a metric buttload is wonderful <eye roll> "foot on the neck" mentality
why are you so scared of an opposite point of view? open your mind:
“Nothing is more dangerous than a dogmatic worldview – nothing more constraining, more blinding to innovation, more destructive of openness to novelty.”
You can't play the race card too often, even if it's a lie.
There is no "opposite point of view" of objective reality.
"Academics get paid for being clever, not for being right."
-Donald Norman
"He was born stupid, and greatly increased his birthright."

"“Nothing is more dangerous than a dogmatic worldview – nothing more constraining, more blinding to innovation, more destructive of openness to novelty.”
Yeah, look what happened to the Soviet Union.
And Nazi Germany.
"The pretension to infallibility, by whomsoever made, has done endless mischief; with impartial malignity it has proved a curse, alike to those who have made and it those who have accepted it."

I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR JESSE JACKSON JR!
In all the videos that have been posted of this incident, you will see JJ Jr. walking through the crowd holding two – COUNT THEM, TWO – video capable smart phones, one in each hand, filming the crowd as he went. Question #1 Since when do we see a congressman filming in this manner? I'd like to know if he always does this or was this a special occasion? Obviously, he was hoping to "catch" some dirt on the Tea Party! Question #2 Why haven't we seen this video! If what members of the Black Caucus say is true, they have proof! On video! There are two possibilities – the first is that JJ Jr. doesn't have the evidence that he hoped for, otherwise we've have seen it by now. The second is that there is evidence of someone in the crowd being ugly and using the N-word ( leftist plant or not) and they are saving this video for an "October surprise". Oh, and there's a third possibility – the release of a DOCTORED video as an "October surprise" – and we need to be on guard for this!
I SAY BREITBART – AND ALL OF US – NEED TO DEMAND THE RELEASE OF JJ JR'S VIDEO IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I looked up the video of the guy "spitting" and found Cleaver actually returned with a cop to the guy that had supposedly spit on him. When Clever came back he acted like he couldn't find the guy in the crowd….the "spitting" guy never left and was standing right in front of him looking at him and the cop he had in tow. There was a cop standing right there the whole time when Clever was acting as if he were being spit on. Also they had a cell phone in the "spitting" guys face right before Clever…as in edit??

Isn't it odd how this very week the story broke about (for lack of a better word) the call them racist conspiracy in the press blog site? Prediction: The commies and socialists know it is crunch time. The racist crap will get deeper and deeper in an attempt to hang on to power in November. They have realized there is no way to pass the final nails (cap and tax, and immigration, I'm sorry 'everyone in the world is entitled to Americas booty' reform) until after Nov which makes retaining the house and senate imperative. Our hope is those not politically in tune and those slightly in tune with the left will see the false use of racist as a derogatory term and generate a huge backlash.
To; The DISHONORABLE Andre Carson-
You are a RACE-Baiter,
an INSTIGATOR, an America HATER,
and a TWO-bit, ANTI-American TRAITOR.
Most folks probably don't KNOW you ARE a
"member" of the "Democratic SOCIALISTS",
absolutely FULLY in tune with the first
Comrade's VOICE.
There is NOTHING "honorable" ABOUT you.
