Just because it was not caught on tape, does that mean it did not happen?

I heard from George Will, this morning, that a talk radio host is offering $100,000 for anyone with video proof that the N-word was used against black members of congress by the tea party members. So, does this mean that if it was not caught on tape, it did not happen?

1. Yes, in fact it does mean that

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three do.

2. If the N word isn't used, then racism isn't happening.

I guess that's the logical conclusion.

3. If I murder someone & it's not caught on tape, it didn't happen?

Of course a lack of video doesn't prove shit - racism, murder or anything else you can put out there. It's a bonus if they have it, but it will NOT prove anything because the deniers will just scream photoshop or setup or whatever else they pull out of their backsides.

4. John Lewis said it happened. His word is better than videotape.

You have to go back decades to find a republican politician with the honor, integrity and honesty of John Lewis. And you would have to go back centuries to find a conservative pundit with any honor, integrity or honesty at all.

5. There were two republicans in the 60 's or 70's

Everett Dirkson and his son in law Howard Baker but that's the only two I can remember and I'm 77.

6. My point exactly!

7. This is another case of trying to deligitimize racists incidents

this is what they do.
