NYT Correction: No Evidence N-Word Hurled at Rep. Lewis

We have been waiting for liberal media sources to correct their many misstatements about the events of March 20, when three Democratic Congressmen falsely claimed that protesters against Obamacare at the Capitol yelled racial epithets at them. As our readers know, multiple eyewitnesses and videos disprove this claim, while Andrew Breitbart's offer of $100,000 to anyone who can provide evidence in its support has gone unclaimed.
