Wrong video sparks feud over racial slur

A 48-second clip takes center stage in a dispute between tea party activists and black lawmakers.

Just one problem

Three Democratic congressmen — all black — say they heard racial slurs as they walked through thousands of angry protesters outside the U.S. Capitol.
A white lawmaker says he heard the epithets too.
Wingnut aggitators say the lawmakers are lying.
What does the video show?
Not much.
Indeed, new interviews show that a much-viewed YouTube recording cited as evidence by wingnuts was actually shot well after the time in question.
